Getting Old

You probably have been told it many times but quitting is best solution as even casual smoking can still cause problems. Not easy I know but its best solution.

 

Like I said mate, I enjoy a smoke now and again. If I need to stop I'm sure I could. I had MRI scans on my lungs a while back and the Doctor said 'I really couldn't tell that you are a smoker of over 40 years looking at the scans, your Lungs are absolutely fine.' I'm still wise enough to know that could change in a very short space of time and that smoking is not exactly the best thing to do, but we are faced with so many illnesses these days due to the standards of food, air etc....that something is going to get us in the end. At 55 and having lived a good life on my terms I see the future years as a bonus. Plus I've not got any plans to become an old fart going out on day trips and singing shitty songs whilst pissing into adult pampas.

Don't knock the adult pampers. They save a lot of messing around.

Hopefully I'm dead before such drastic measures are needed. I used to go all night without a piss, get up now and again now, but not on a regular basis and rarely more than once. I've been coughing like fuck the last week and not a drop of piss in sight, so at least my bladder is fine.

General aches and pains soon as you get past 30, pretty sure humans are built to last 40 years max.

I have been posting on this forum for 20 years which is just over half my life. 

 

Hopefully I'll post something decent one day.

There are times I miss pre internet, pre mobile phone days. Alongside being a kid it was an adventure just to find your mates sometimes, you couldn't text where are you. You'd tread familiar grounds pick up clues speak to witnesses. There's nostalgia with the past I grow more nostalgic by the year. For all the technology and comfort of today I wouldn't trade being a kid in the 80s for it, I'm sure plenty of people from earlier decades feel the same about their childhood if it was a good one surrounded by good people.

Without a doubt , it makes you wonder how you found mates like you said , clues or I’ve just seen him walking up somewhere or other, usually the ralla or the cut the highways of youth for me.

And some kids would do that hollering thing from a few streets away.

Seeing Anna Chancellor in The Split earlier. I wanted to be her once

64 next month. The Beatles wrote a song about that.

Felt old today. My knee keeps locking and can't put any weight on it, then it's sound for an hour and happens again. I've been full of wind and had to have a nap to get through it, and my chest has been hurting a little. All I can think though is that I want a chippy tonight and if it kills me off then I've had a good run. I haven't like, but I really want a chippy tea.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Aching all over myself today, but probably because I've taken up long walks every day to offset the fact I can't do other physical stuff at the moment. Dog is well pissed off with me dragging her about for 10km walks twice a day. Since getting out of hospital I've lost 7kg, so obviously doing some good or I've got Corona virus. 

 

Got a smart watch for Christmas and the app on the Mobile/Watch says I've took 492,300 steps this year (average of 10.702 a day) so far and I was in hospital for 12 days of that. 

You know you are getting old when you look forward to fucking walking.

I think it was Billy Connolly that famously said, if you wake up with an erection when you're old, then don't waste it. I'm banned from the Planetarium in the museum now, thanks Billy.
