The realisation you're getting old

[presta]

Ridiculous. I rarely bother taking my phone with me. Afraid I’m not welded to it like many these days.

Mine used to live in the cupboard except when I went on holiday, then I went down with heart trouble and started carrying it in case I needed an ambulance. Now I carry it just because I've become addicted to the time reminder.....

Is Fanny Craddock presenting whats cooking ?

On Cycling.
I now have two bikes without drop bars and love riding them .

I have finally broken in my leather saddles .

You think these are oxygen tanks to carry on long rides .

Getting old? That feeling that you've had the bulk of 'your turn' at the crazily improbable thing called life.

Yes, along with knowing that it might not be your turn again. 😢

When you learn to stop rushing round and instead slow down time and appreciate life.

I'm in the one go and that's it camp.

Mind you, I wouldn't say no to extra goes - especially if you could start again at say late teens knowing what you know now. 😁

When someone asks you your national insurance number and you reply...

AA000001A

@SpokeyDokey

Perhaps I phrased that badly. What I meant was that I am now of the age, that by the time complications with Covid have eased, I will be too old to take on any long distance adventures. Fortunately I have travelled a lot abroad, I have plenty of places close to home to visit. For instance, Iceland (again), Denmark, most of Scotland and the Scilly Isles, and of-course the Lake District.

Your daughter rings to check you're okay after a day on the bike.

 

[bagpuss]

A group of cyclists pass and you manage to catch the back markers . They say to you , are going to do a turn . You think to your self : do I really look that bad

I'm in Cardiff. Was it Coffi Co in the Bay by any chance?

No, it was near Cathedral road, don't know the name.

 

[smokeysmoo]

I have had the same with my name.

Jon often, once Jhon, rarely John.

Now I'm the other way.

I am Jon but never, ever get Jon.

It's always John unless I specify.

Plus my surname is quite unusual in that it has a C in that no-one ever realises, which is due to there being a much more usually spelt version that doesn't have it in.

Oh! we've had some right spelling concoctions over the years.

 

[Rusty Nails]

No, it was near Cathedral road, don't know the name.

That doesn't surprise me, it's the trendy, "media" part of the city. Big on coffee culture, including a big new Coffi Co, which are taking over the city. I cycle along Cathedral Road a couple of times most weeks.

When above is both funny and true...

Worry not. Youth is a disease which time will cure.
