Signs you're getting older

What are signs you're getting older?

I said to my other half today: "I want to put a wash out, there's good drying out there."
Then when it turned a bit dull in the afternoon, I found myself watching the sky and feeling the air to see if it was going to rain.
Basically, my day was all about trying to get the clothes in in case it rained.

I also find I'm just becoming less intolerable to alcohol now, which is a shame, as I used to love downing wine and then a few cans and staying up til 4am just 'cos.
Now, my eyes are drooping after three glasses of vino and I'm in bed before midnight. (I'm not even 30 yet).

Also, a night in appeals to me more than a night out.

I find people playing music too loud outdoors or blaring from their cars irritating.
Kids playing outside annoy me and I find myself debating over which fabric softener is best for my smalls.

Kill me now.

They say you either turn to God or to the garden.

You start making all sorts of disapproving noises when getting up from a comfy chair.

Usually, "ah Jaysus", "oh God" or "ahhhh".

Up until a few years ago I would salivate like a rabid dog at the sight of a lady in a short shirt on a night out.
Now when I see the same I say to myself 'God, she must be freezing'

Same way as I used to laugh at people falling over on 'You've been framed' years ago.

Nowadays, I wince at stuff like that, thinking. ' Ooh,that must have hurt'.

The first bit I agreed with.

As for the rest, There is no way I will ever ever get to the stage where I'm ever old enough or senile enough to ever willingly listen to that muck.

No way San Jose!

Obviously you're younger than me.

Took a lot of knocks when I was younger. Never thought about it.

Last week I fell off a 2ft step ladder.

I could feel the pain before I hit the deck!

Where I live, Country music is what the kids are listening to. Nathan Carter wagon wheel $hite. No rebellion or semblance of life in them at all. Prescriptive line dancing entertainment. They may have the gift of youth but this generation are wasting it. I didn't waste mine.

Unfortunately I've had cause to be in & out of hospital since my teens - all becomes a bit routine & boring. However last year I was getting some tests done & I was hooked up to a new machine. To make conversation I said to the nurse that I'd never seen this one before.

Her response - 'it's a standard test for men of your age'. Gulp!!

I think it was the matter of fact way she said it that really got me!
