The worst is when you catch sight of your reflection in a shop window, wonder who the old bat staring at you is and then realise it’s you.
It’s the self service till camera at Asda that I find harrowing 😩 🤦‍♀️🤣 ‘who is she’

The hairdresser's mirror is the ultimate feel old scenario. You have no choice but to look at yourself for hours - especially if highlights are being done. Usually your stylist is about 12 with peachy skin, a wondrous head of abundant hair and an easy breezy manner.
Makes me feel positively prehistoric.

Netflix has coughed up a selection for me titled 'Growing up Millennial' and I was like hey I like current things too ... but damn that algorithm has curated me some really good stuff 😆.

Someone told me the sign of being youthful is ability to jump. My friend who is just couple of years older than me said she cannot jump on her own. I felt so sad because she doesn't look (visually) unhealthy.

Just up in the air or over something?

It's being too scared to attempt a handstand or cartwheel now that makes me feel old. I would like to get strong enough again to be able to risk it, I'm only 52! I can still jump.

Being momentarily tempted after spotting bags of nut toffee sweets in the corner shop - then remembering that I need to hold on to any teeth/fillings I have left - wisely deciding to leave them where they were.

A simple discussion about the first memories we have of any World Cup.

A new starter in our office remembers 2018 as the first World Cup he properly followed, he's 19. I'm sat here remembering Zidane's headbutt in the 2006 final, and even parts of 2002 when I would have been 8, and it's the realisation that this is the 9th World Cup since I was born.

Advanced apologies to anyone else this triggers.

Spain 1982 was the 1st world cup I can really remember watching.
It wasn't great I recall and the main thing that has stuck in my head is naranijto the wacky orange mascot

I used to like watching Cameroon. Felt like watching real football, and they were really enjoying themselves.
Not diving and screaming in agony when they were just being drama queens and there was nothing wrong with them, like other footballers.
It can get very wearing in no time 🙄

Actors and musicians I 'grew up with' dying.

This month Bonnie Tyler and Sam Neill have felt like such big losses.
