I have just stopped seeing my father's image whenever I look at a mirror. Now it is my Grandad. So it got me thinking when are you old. I think my mother is old, as she is 100, but she thinks all the other residents in her sheltered accomodation are old. This despite her being by far the oldest. My kids have thought I am old for many years. So I put it to you when are you old?

....the thing I have difficulty in coming to terms with is that my mind feels the same now as it did when I was in my late twenties (at a rough guess), but the body is beginning to feel a bit creaky.  It's the mis-match I just find hard! Laughing

So could being old, or not. just simply be an attitude of mind. I have a neighbour, who is in his fifties, whom is always too old to participate in anything strenuous. Whereas my mother danced three times a week into her nineties. At 100, she has a laptop, and uses facebook to keep in contact with family and friends.

Best thing about being old(er) and retired is that we can do what we want, when we want, at the speed we want
