You sound like me!
Everything is starting to feel like it's declining! Aches and pains, tinnitus, deteriorating eyesight, fitness slowly declining.........and yes, I also worry about it which makes it worse. I try all the various supplements which are supposed to be wonder cures, but obviously don't work! Last time I took my blood pressure it was worryingly high which of course stressed me out even more. Just feels like a vicious circle. I think the usual keep the weight down, eat reasonably healthy, exercise and try to remain stress free is the best advice but much easier said than done if you are a natural stressy person. 
I read somewhere that the ageing process is in three stages.
Morning
Bit personal in't'it?Good morning big man.
That was given a three hour window yesterday. How'd tha not manage it!!Hello world! Weather? Go on guess. This is Lancashire where the sun shines on the righteous........it's always cloudy in Burnley!! You need to follow Rovers for that one!
I feel industrious today:
The Kinesis is filthy from my gravel ride on Saturday. I am though seeing the benefit of proper lubing and a quality lube. While very dusty the chain, cassette and rings are clean - no black gunge. Pleased and surprised by this. Housework will commence around 10.45 when Mrs P goes out - this a chore which I far prefer to do when she's not around.
- Ironing
- Clean bike
- Housework
- Black the woodburner
- Cut grass
- Allotment
My greenhouse is rapidly filling with seedlings and young plants. I'm very tempted to pop out and buy some tomatoes. Day time temperatures are spot on for starting them off but nights are still cold - for those not aware night temperature is as important, if not more, to plant growth as day temperature. Also need to sow outdoor crops such as spinach and chard which means I need to double check what is planned for each bed.
A hot iron is calling. Catch you all later when I break for morning coffee
If you happen to have a spare $34,073,783.78 sat around, and you're wondering what to do with it...@Mo1959 I love that you can laugh about it! I guess that's the moral of the story. A moral picked up by @welsh dragon - good advice...
My wife (and I'm so lucky, really I am) is of the above disposition; little point worrying about anything until it happens, and even then just deal with it. She is in some respects a polar opposite - yet also a perfect fit. I wish I could be like that sometimes but I am, sadly, a natural born worrier.
Btw, I've been on blood pressure meds for years... maybe around 8. I think the biggest decline I am seeing, and the one that sets the alarm bells ringing, is that it takes me longer to get back to fitness. I could once get on my bike and do a 100km, more or less on a whim and without thinking. Those days are gone (and we're only talking 2 or 3 years ago) I need to build up to do that now.
But I ought stop my whining. All things considered, I'm in a really good place (certainly geographically). Thanks for all your kind words. I shall laugh more (something I am also naturally predisposed to!)
