Things that make you feel young again

[Ming the Merciless]

Jumping off sand dunes or trying to outrun the incoming wave (and failing) in my bare feet.

Flying a kite. Got one recently and it instantly took me back to being on a beach in Wales on holiday. This one was miles better though!

When I was in primary school we made kites from bits of cane and old newspapers stuck together with flour paste. The tail was bits of newspaper and string. Nothing fancy and easily made but great fun.

I got asked for proof of age when I tried to buy alcohol at Aldi. I just took off my woolly hat to reveal a balding middle-aged hairline.

Ha ! Been there. Was made to reveal my Helicopter landing pad before; in an effort to buy Alcohol…..

Rules are rules I understand. But with wrinkles under my eyes, crows feet, a double chin and grey goatee beard: did we really need to belittle me further by making me take my hat off too 🤣

The very rare occasions i don't ache remind me how it was to feel young.
Just once in a while, i feel no pain....its like walking on air, you almost feel euphoric.

Oh, how I hate the pain. Knees, hips, hands.

Being one of those tea-total, quinoa eating vegan types and loads of outdoor work. Raw food +supplements. Non of it was planned as such. I wasn't getting drunk but the amount I consume always creeps up on me to the point where I start feeling grumpy at work. Food wise I'm unimaginative and ate too many beef stews over winter, then too much fish during spring, decided to give tofu a go a few months ago and haven't looked back.

Not meaning to wax lyrical but the benefits are tangible and I haven't keeled over YET!

Lol, I shall be attempting to do just that in a minute. I've done very little in the way of cycling this year, wish me luck!

I’ve never felt old.

When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
