  • FUN:- You know when your getting old.........when

    You know when your getting old when you bend down to pick up worms thinking its bindweed. Not once, not twice but three times!

    Sorry to disappoint you Greenleaves, but if you can bend down 3 times you're not the teeniest bit old

        I love getting old. Does that make me weird?

          If you have your health there is lot to be said for getting old, but if you have to take so many pills that you have them in a bowl with milk and sugar it ain't so hot.

            That depends on how old you're getting................
            If you're 16 and you love getting to 20, that's OK. If you're my age, you've lost track of how old you are anyway

              I feel old today. Cordless strimmer packed up on me so I threw it in the back off the car muttering about how rubbish it was. Ended up using a pair of shears to finish my jobs off. Shame I can't straighten up properly now.
              When I was younger my nan use to watch Gardeners World. I use to hate watching it as I thought it was for old people. Now I flick through the tv mag to see when its on and what its about.
              Years ago I would never appreciate the blossom on trees. This year I actually noticed how lovely it was. My nan always said when you get older you start to notice things you never did.

                Well I'm not 16 that's for sure. I love that I love gardening programmes. I find it funny that I need help to get back up after I've been kneeling and the creaks and cracks of my bones make a funny tune. The pills I take make me feel special and struggling on through my ailments make me realise I'm a bit of a trouper. Granted I'm not housebound or needing frequent hospital visits but that to me is being ill which definitely sucks but getting old is fun. Oh, but I have got rather fat which I don't like but I cannot bring myself to exercise.

                    When my nan was alive she use to like tomato sandwiches. It had to be white Danish bread, sliced tomato and a little salt. Not to much as it would ruin the taste and to little and it wouldn't enhance the flavour of the tomato. It was one of her favourites.
                    I'm afraid I have developed the taste for it now. Must be getting old.

                          Nope. But gave the kids a good laugh though watching me get my socks on.

                            I hope you are not suggesting I use lipstick?

                            You know when you are getting old when you plan your journeys by the availability of public toilets.

                            When you have to write lists.

                            When you drop something and someone picks it up for you.

                            When you consider breaking the law and claiming dementia as your defence. (I'm old and confused is a wonderful excuse).

                            I'm done.
