Maybe there's a two-thirds of life slump, since midlife crisis is probably a bit pre-midlife now? Once we are passed that, we'll be bouncing about like Sharkie.

(I've been having a bit of the megrims over the last couple of months, it would possibly be a comforting thought that it's that, and I just need to ride it out to the upswing. Better than some of the alternatives.)

Ditto ER. I just dropped a chocolate peanut on the floor and made all sorts of involuntary noises as I got down and up to pick it up.


When I read that I thought you were still discussing bowel habits 😳

FDNB wins the thread.

I can still eat dinner and a coffee right before bed, but 50 bike miles and a parkrun required me to take off to bed for a long nap this afternoon.

Speaking personally and with my next birthday being my 70th, I'm a bit surprised at all you youngsters seeming to embrace the tropes of older age so enthusiastically!

Maybe by the time you hit 70 you'll be out the other side. I like to think I am. Not had an after lunch nap for ages ;-)

By the time I'm 70 the naps will be interrupted by occasional waking hours.

I love a post-lunch nap. And sometimes a pre-lunch nap too.

I am looking forward to hitting 70 so I can take up ballet plus start chucking things about, and playing in sandpits


Hey if hitting 70 enables me to do these things I have 10 years of still feeling this old and decrepit lol.

Speaking of naps I went off to my bed for a 1.5 hour Kip this afternoon. Mainly due to still dancing and partying till the early hours and the up for parkrun and also due to fact I about to have an energetic 2 year old and his more sedate brother for a sleepover

I am SO looking forward to joining the O60s thread and getting away from this bunch of crocks
Be careful what you wish for Velociraptor There’s many of us on here who also qualify that might follow you there and infect the SENIOR thread with our juvenility and stories of 💩 😉
