What is it with older people and gardening?
Any trawl through Rightmove will reveal the "old person dead" properties
Inside, God awful patterned carpets, dark wood display cabinets, mushroom coloured bathroom suites and chintz curtains

1st off You are still Kid at 37, wait till you get into your 50s - 60s
As I'm 63 and when I tell people my age they say I'm still young as I still in my 40s |

I think I may have been even younger than you when the joint pains started kicking in. My kids where still young then, so the whole birthday party type stuff was still on the go.
10 years on I can say. I can't be doing with over-excited kids. They're ok in small doses but fuck me if I'd go through all that again. The pain element. It's a mixed story really, nothing really improved except my ability to tolerate pain, which is every day. Just to bring you a little sunshine 🌤️
I'm sure there's a bunch of wonderful advice about drinking Kale and hummus smoothies with various fungi powders. Having kundalini awakenings from practising yoga with Janet at the local health centre on Thursday evenings etc.
In reality, coping with getting old involves a level of acceptance. The world makes less sense each day, you get served at the bar by someone who looks 14 and you wake up in pain. But you give less of a shit about all of those things as time goes by and start valuing peace a lot more. When it's quiet like it is now, it feels kind of blissful. |

Omg yes.. Glasses! Man they suck. I remember being able to order my eyes to focus on anything and they'd just do it. Now it has to be a meter or more away otherwise I have to do the old man squint and tilt the page and complain about "why does it have to be so small print"

Joking aside, I received two calls from the care home my Dad was in
The first to tell me they had found him in the dining room - and a lady resident had her hand down his pants
Second call was to tell me he'd stood up in the day room, dropped his trousers and asked 'does anybody want some?'  |

I'm just tired more - mentally and physically.
I don't have the mental bandwidth for complications. Physically I'm in good health (no aches or pains) just getting unfit.
My friendships from my youth are mostly about heavy drinking, so I barely see my friends.
I feel I've aged almost a decade in the last few years. |

I adore this.
One of my most amazing last memories of my mum who died earlier this year is having a standard conversation with her and my bestie. Then in the middle of a sentence she looked over at a man across the room and pointed. She said “it’s the old men you have to watch. They just get their dicks out” 🤣
And then carried on with her cup of tea and chat.
God I model myself on her ♥️ |

It sounds like they both have.
Inhibitions are often the first things to go. |

Lol, wait till you’re 51! 
I look at young families and I roll my eyes haha. Zero interest in engaging with babies/children/pets when ai see them. I am so grumpy.
I get muscle stiffness and it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning.

I'm totally reliant on other people now. My 20 year old managers at work have to tell me what to do because I forget...
and the pharmacy and the mental health support group and the GP.
My neighbours are the pub landlords for when I forget my keys.

Yeah alcohol isn't the greatest for me now.
But I was still sitting with my school mates commiserating on the cost of living and not being able to drink alcohol due to medical procedures. No more excessive rum for us. |
