Getting old!

[twentysix by twentyfive]

My Mother is in her mid eighties .She volunteers twice a week cooking breakfasts for what she describes as "old people" some of them are younger than me and I am not accepting that title yet.

She's still cooking your breakfast for you then - well at least twice a week.

I turn 60 in a few weeks time, I'm in the prime of life. Can still cycle a hundred miles, walk miles with the dog daily, the knees may be a bit creaky these days, and the back is a bit stiffer than it used to be, but hey, I'm having a great time. Retirement beckons soon.

For those turning 50 take up audax. Its about the average age of participants so you may be entering your long distance prime. There is no reason you cannot be fit and healthy for many years yet. But you have to put some effort in. Sedentary won't cut it.

Blimey cycling seems to make some people old, one of the many reasons I like the gym and things like the people I fix dents for is because there are loads of young people like me there.

I'm 50 this year, still feel about 27-28 though. Age is only a number as my mum says

27 - 28?
Blimey!
That old!?
You'll be way over the hill by the time you're 60, at that rate!

At 38, I feel fitter and healthier than I did at 18. It helps that I'm about 5 stone lighter than I was, but even so, Jesus Christ I'm nearly 40

You know you're old when you fart every time you stand up, or when you poo every time you deliberately try to fart.

Is that age or truncheon misuse? I've already got my coat on ...

But you still have your 21st birthday party every year..........

A friend of mine was born on Feb 29th. the running gag is that we'd all like to make it to his 21st birthday bash.

For all you that are a bit worried about your nose hair, I'd recommend one of these from Asda £3.50. BTW I wore my first one out, now on my second!

Mrs D's Gran has just turned 100, and only now has owned up to being in the SOE during the war. Kinda made my humble efforts as an infantryman and MILAN operator seem dull.

A scene in our street: a little girl was giving an older gentleman (her grandad presumably) a goodbye hug. Then the "little girl" got into her car and drove it away. I must be getting old when grown women look about 11.
