2 or 3 visits to the loo in the night.
Recently going shopping specifically to buy some nice moccasin slippers.
Aches and pains.
Constant tiredness.
The sudden, unexpected and upsetting onset of short sightedness after having perfect eyesight until now. Reading cooking instructions on food packaging using my phone camera on zoom. My arms aren't long enough.... My face with glasses???
Absolutely refusing to accept I'm not a 21 year old whippet of a rider any more. A shockingly bad first marriage meant I spent a lot of time in the early 90s out on my bike and with my super competitive nature of never going for a potter I was rather fast and fit. I still have a super competitive nature and never ever go out for a potter, (32 Koms and counting 😄) but rides now ruin me for a day or two, physically and mentally. Maybe it is time to start pottering about? Taking an easy ride, looking at the scenery.... What would my strava buddies think? I guess I could make the ride private.......
I do have a great amount of hair though, hardly any greys, so not all bad.
I've so far enjoyed 52 Summers, and despite my terrible constant habit of doing stupid shit I'm still here so I guess I shouldn't complain.
