Just to let you know I am in my early 70's and life has never been better I am not going into details but sure physically you have to look after yourself more but it all still works. I have always tried to stay fit but life does catch up with you and it get's more difficult as you get older and inside I am still 35 years old. As I said recently this is the 37th celebration of my 35th birthday. Keep young at heart and keep moving and you can with a bit of luck go on enjoying life for as long as you can stand.
Cheers SD! Give or take a beer or two, that’s definitely how tonight and tomorrow will be looking like!
Enjoy your celebrations DH, that is one thing that getting older doesn't improve; in my experience a good session on the ale now requires a full days recovery
Amen to that. Before I was 50, I could always blunder through the next day. Befuddled, irritable, slow and tired but I'd get stuff done. Now? The next day's a write off. I can scarcely see beyond my extended arm. When I was 18, a friend's friend replied to the question..."Are you coming out for a drink tonight?" with the all-time classic..."I'm actually not thirsty." Increasingly, I'm not thirsty so much either. Still, 2 of my brothers and a number of mates have got gout. Touch wood, nothing to report on that front yet.
I love wine but if I have a coffee as well I need a portable toilet following me. It's a good job I live in a quiet part of Scotland as it's fairly easy to stop on the side of the road without an entourage. I don't get drunk anymore I just get indigestion I can drink whiskey with impunity but beer has to be restricted to no more than 1 pint and from that I seem to produce 8 pints with no problem. Sitting in the sunshine drinking wine with good friends is still favourite.
Missus and I have been visiting friends in UK tonight. Great evening, but I’m fecked after a few (6) bottles of various vino over dinner by 10pm..... Admittedly we started at 5 but...... Getting old has its drawbacks ....... Nite all....... see you on Sunday
Cheers DeeDub! Work was never happening on a Friday birthday haha. Woken up not too badly hungover, albeit tonight is set to be a bit heavier.
Every summer I mark A level English Lit papers. Sadly, they’ve never chosen one of my songs as a set text...... yet!
