I get aches now & then but nothing that stops me from functioning like I need to to get work done

You tell 'im eskie. Mac seems to have talked himself into thinking and feeling old. I'm 62 and until my recent surgery probably thought i was in my 30's. Since it i know what it feels like to feel old. Less confidant, restricted movement, aches and pains etc. I've lost a bit of motivation but i'll get back to how i used to feel.
I seem to have gone from looking older in my 20's and 30's to looking younger in my 60's. At the hospital, when the nurses found out i was in my 60's ( still can't believe it) they said (blimey, we thought you were in your 40's). On the phone once recently when i said my age they said 'blimey ; i love that word; you sound about about 16 '. Haha , i don't know if that was an insult or a compliment.
Don't think old, don't act old, don't dress old, just be yourself.
Eskie, i would love to stay on your farm. I'm sure it would be an experience. I was saying to Gus that there are a few people on here who i wouldn't mind doing mutual visits with. My house isn't ready for it yet but if you fancy a trip to the uk and london one day maybe we could make it happen.
