You know you're getting older when......

[Mrs M]

I never think about age but have been getting a few more aches and pains recently.
Also noticed other things like -

Calling Mr M "dear", where did that come from?
Struggling to read labels in the supermarket.
Recently developed an interest in gardening, couldn't stand it before.
Find gardening programmes interesting (even recorded one).
Don't worry as much as I used to
Knickers getting bigger
But I'm not worried, which should be worrying.
Never mind, carry on

Aside from the lack of hair, lack of eyesight, and lack of ability on the bike the main change was Mrs Fu switching me from Radio 1 to Radio 2 a few years back and me liking it - couldn't go back, it's all just noise...

Have you started looking at those adverts in the papers for big heated foot cosys and thought, "hm, now that looks like a good idea?"

Yeah buy one and get a free hip operation after you stand up, forget your feet are in it and promptly fall over

You have a special stick in the garage/shed that you stir your paint with?
A hot night in with the missus entails putting the extra bar on the electric fire.

Right now I wish I was 10 years older. I'd be bang on for a new knee, have no mortgage left and could have taken voluntary redundancy at work and got out of the place before it gets even worse.

 

[welsh dragon]

I don't have a stick. I have an old screwdriver instead.

I remember when all this was just fields.
