Frank I am 78 and I think you take age too seriously I still design and make things for disabled persons who cannot buy their needs from the commercial marketplace.Wake yourself up and get on with life. I also have a back problem which restricts my mobility but I make a plan and get round it.
I seriously laughed out loud at this! Thank you! I am in my fifties and could relate to some of these points. I am going to think about it and come up with one of my own!
Oooh, where do I begin? To be honest, I am actually enjoying being in my fifties, because I have started to care a lot less what people think of me. As a recovering people pleaser, I find this liberating. But the changes that spring to mind right now, is that I am possibly less sociable than I used to be. I used to be a real party animal and loved going out especially to concerts. I still love going to concerts, but I can't do late nights anymore! It's either:
1. Wanting, really wanting, to attend an event, even going as far as booking or buying a ticket. Then backing out at the last minute (it's too cold/late/I'm tired/I want to watch my favourite series..)
2. Actually going to the event, but then returning on the earliest bus home (I need my sleep) and, once, not even waiting for the actual event to begin, as it had been postponed to 11pm...Way past my bedtime!
The sad thing about all that is I can't actually fall asleep when I go to bed anyway, so may as well have stayed out late! In fact, insomnia is one thing I have struggled with since my forties. But I'm not sure this is as common for men as for women.
I tend to get carried away when I think of my age but I still ignore most of my problems including Starmer.

A little tongue-in-cheek Alan, but yes I am a bit of a whinger!

Please send them in, so I know what to look forward to!

Sorry for the long response!
I can relate to all of those. Although I'm less sociable, so not in much risk of staying out late! Atb
