60th Birthday celebration ideas, what did you do?

It’s my 60th next year and OH is asking how I want to celebrate. I really don’t know yet. I know I dont want a party as I am hugely introverted and attention makes me cringe and feel uncomfortable (yes, even with my own family) I don’t want to sit in the sun for a week ( it bores me these days) I don’t want a girly holiday ( see above: introversion) I do like Spas and fitness, gyms, walks etc…but OH hates them so I’d be on my own (he also has health problems so unreasonable to expect that from him)

Did anyone do anything for a big birthday that they’d like to tell me about or inspire me? Any suggestions.

Aah,*Grandmabatty*😿 what a shame. Some people just cannot help themselves can they.

My much loved 19 year old dog was dying, I spent the day mainly cleaning up after her before the final trip to the vet. I'd recommend pretty well anything other than what I did.

I did the same as I did on my 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th and 70th. Nothing.

It seems that although I organise for other family members they don’t think to do the same.

Never mind, I see them quite frequently anyway.

I arranged a meal out for all my family and my girls got me a surprise birthday cake.
