  • A young woman in the swimming baths - had a couple of kids in tow - was telling me how she told her kids about the benefits of swimming 

    She said, 'It is something you can do when you're young and something (whilst unfurling her hand towards me) that you can do for your whole life'. 

    I mean, I'm no youngster, but I ain't finished yet!
  • People keep holding the door open for me and calling me sir.
  • When your idea of a night out, is a short walk to the corner shop to get some milk.
  • I think I am old. I handed my notice in a few months back. New job next month.
    Just had a teams chat with our hr admin, she said she wanted to come in a say goodbye. I’ve told her I’m In everyday next week but I’ll probably sneak off early next Friday. 
    She told me that I leave next Wednesday. I’ve told everyone Friday 27th and drinks in the pub lunchtime. 
    I think I’m getting old and stupid.

    Are you a teacher?

    Glad it’s not just me then.

    I find I need a sit down after compiling a list of things that require a sit down afterwards.

    I was getting like that but have stopped the tea and coffee and just have caffeine free coffee now. Makes a lot of difference.
