Getting old

I think that I was born old. I'm not a fan of still having a full head of dark hair and having a completely grey beard though. I took the beard off the other day and that's made me look a bit younger.
 
You know you're getting old when you actually go to Tesco instead of getting stuff delivered using one of the App things on your fancy tech phone/watch/calculator/tv/texter gadget.

In your case is that the same as showing your ar$e in public?
 
having to shave your head every two weeks or risk looking a complete d*ck with a ridge of hear just above your lugs, Been a punk from 76 makes for the ridge been a not cool look ;)

It's the hair thing for me. Toughest thing to accept.

Started thinning in my 20s.

Growing old is a privilege denied to many, though. I count myself lucky all the time to be healthy and getting older.
 
Was stood by a gate feeding a horse when I heard a little girl say to her pal 'I'll race you to the old man and back'.

Had a look around and there was nobody else nearby.

Out of the mouths of babes!
I remember the first time I got called mister. It would be about 1973 as a 16 year old. I was walking from Berwick Hills to the Linthorpe Hotel. When I got to the White Bridge some kids, who had been playing down the beck shouted "ow mister.' I think i was still grinning when I got to Grove Hill.
 
When you wake in the morning and you have to think to ascertain which day it is - and that’s when you haven’t been drinking the previous night.
