Problem with my trouser fly....

Ok....
Will I be able to find a matching hat?

Unfortunately, I fear you will.

You say that in jest, but I find myself, 56 next week, anxious about the decline in my faculties. It may be normal aging, it may not be, either way it is bluddy frustrating.

And I'm convinced that one day someone will demonstrate the increase in senility is linked to the toxicity of the lead they used to put in petrol.

It's a bummer isn't it? 50 seems to be a turning point.

I got there in August & now find it quite a frightening concept, I never used to write anything down, once it went into the grey matter it stayed, now I have to constantly check, why did I go upstairs, what am I standing in the workshop for, where is that spanner that I used only 5 minutes ago. These are fairly trivial things, but if I make an error at work it could cost the company many many thousands, that now becomes a constant worry.

I've done well to only notice it at 55 then. Language skills shot to pieces, motor skills ditto, in combination typing is a challenge it never used to be. Memories getting muddled, et cetera. All downhill from here I guess.

But were you wearing a helmet?

How do objects, that I had in my hand 30 seconds ago, cloak themselves in invisibility when put down in such a way that I doubt my recollection that I held them?

I agree 50 was a doddle, 51, 52, 53 passed by without even noticing, 54 saw some slight hesitation in certain areas, 55 seemed to have some significance, 56 OMG

I know the feeling so so well

I recognise that phenomena too. Especially when it's my Viagra pill....

But then that's followed by forgetting what I went upstairs for in the first place. :-(

Some zips don't stay done up, but gradually undo themselves over the course of a couple of hours.

Are these the ones the Essex girls use

Here's the solution @Fab Foodie. The little stabbing events will remind you to do it up

I'm "modest" about this bodge

It's SO tempting to make a comment about a little prick - but I shan't

 

[hopless500]

FF, we need pictures or else we won't believe you.

Already done @hopless500

As @Fnaar's Dorothy would say - it'll only be a small prick.

Regatta Jackets have this habit when cycling in them.

thats one reason I bought an Altura jacket as decent zips that don't move till tugged.

Technically one should never 'tug' a zip, one should lift the the pull tag on the slider, which then disengages the safety catch then one should slide the zip down or up accordingly.
