Signs I am getting old

Get to wear my comfy trainers tomorrow night cos my back won't cope with the walk from the tram to the ground in my Vans, I need a bit of padding😬
 
A not so sprightly 45, the other sign I'm getting old is I'm planning what trainers I need to wear the night before 😩
 
Liking being in your shed or garage more than in your lounge, wearing your slippers and listening to prog whilst you are making something that you would have teased your dad about 30 years ago.
 
Calling your kids/grandkids by their siblings names. I was a teacher and had to recognise hundreds of pupils instantly but misnaming my own happens on a regular basis.
 
I'm 43 and have recently started playing 5-a-side again after a 5 1/2 year hiatus through a broken ankle / torn ligaments initially then compounded by a car crash 18 months later. I felt like I was about 80 years old for the first few games but last night I actually felt ok after the game so maybe I'm getting a little fitter and sharper each game. I have worn a stong knee strap on my right knee since I was around 30 as I did my anterior ligament and it's never fully recovered so have to take it easy.

Other signs I'm getting old are that I look forward to the weekend so I can spend some time in the garden or planning my allotment for next year, I suffer fools less gladly with each passing year and I have sprouted hair from my ears! Worrying times :D
 
The stairs are getting taller, I'm not getting taller but the ground is further away. Eyebrow and nose need more regular grooming than my head. Whilst on the subject of heads, rather my forehead is getting larger or my hair is going further back. Warm clothes are more important for aching joints that looking fashionable. I curse the sky, earth and every God when the weather is cold and damp. Oh and if anything less than £10 drops out my pocket I write it off as a charitable donation 😁
