    Is it just me :scream::scream:… ? Life goes on and I just don’t stop to think how old I am. So yesterday I forgot how old I was. So I thought I’d ask google. And guess what, my search came back very quickly with a much used search option. I just put my date of birth in and asked google how old I was. But the thing is, I speed read the answer and believed I was one year older than I actually am. So, today I told my wife what I did and with her bestest fingers and thumbs she worked out that google was wrong. ( or I just read it wrong) ..So today I am one year younger than I thought I was yesterday. OK , it is just me. But in fairness I am blondeish…FFS :joy::weary_face:. So today was a good day as I’m one year younger than I thought. The only thing is, I told my brother yesterday the wrong age. Let’s see if he works it out and doesn’t send me a BIG birthday card in 15 months time… …

    From 37 on, birthdays would come and go and I wouldn't even realize it. It would take someone calling me and saying "HBD," often a day or two late, to remind me it even occurred.

    (edit-) Marriage several years later remedied this.

    Growing old is compulsory, growing up isn’t. ;)

    I remember when coming up to my 39th birthday I was moaning so much about nearly being at the big four-O that a few people bought me 40th birthday cards thinking that was really my age.

    I don't feel it. I must have had an uphill paper round. But the only thing that concerns me is that one day i may wake up good start but not want to ride my bike.

    I am just a defeatist. I am going to ride for ever and a day. Think that uphill paper round made me fit.
