Having to gingerly use the step to get off a train instead of just striding off it.

 

 

Using the word gingerly.

I’ve been scratching the top of my nose a lot more, and I’m very close to picking in public.
 

The nostril hair keeps getting itchier and itchier.

Two nurses I know (both seriously fit) are in their early forties and I refer to them as girls.

Muscle wastage 
 

You realise you have to build muscle in places you previously ignored pain in. 

 

Case in point for me, arthritic knee and slipped disc mean I’m now spending 20 minutes a day on strengthening exercises.

Finding women in their forties fit.

 

I do now but not so much when I was younger

Oh I did when I was younger as well. 
 

Female with a pulse was my criteria. Female or pulse optional.

Only to them hurt a different part of your body in the effort of relieving pain in one bit. 

 

I've had patellar tendonitis for ten years. Have tried loads of physios, dry needling etc.... 

 

Went to a physio about 4 months ago, he's given me a strict gym programme to follow, then tweek every few weeks. Which to be fair, I've followed perfectly. 

 

With the knee slowly getting better, and with me spending time in the gym, I thought it logical to do more upper body work as well, weights etc..... 

 

Now my knee feels about 80%, however, I now have severe tendonitis in my fucking elbow and wrist, after one particular weight exercise..... 

 

It's a cunt growing old.

I went to Kendall Calling, a “family festival” at the weekend, I feel like I’ve spent 3 weeks in Ibiza my body is hurting that much.

TBF women in their forties now are quite a bit fitter overall.

Saw my cousin yesterday and her lad is on his first lads' holiday to Magaluf after getting his A Level results. He phoned her and said: "Mum the people here are feral, there's girls walking around with their bum cheeks hanging out."

I caught myself shouting "Go on kid!" at the TV when watching the athletics.

The youngest asked me if he could have my watch when I die.

I now hate socks. Putting on my socks is the worst part of the day.

I quite enjoy exchanging talk of health problems.

Went looking for a pair of On Running trainers for my birthday and got excited when I spotted the slip on ones with fake laces, thus avoiding the dance of putting them on and actually having to lace them up.

 

I also snapped my front tooth today but instead of being gutted that I now look like Cletus, I was amusing myself in the supermarket by grinning at people and creeping them the fuck out.
