Read Jenny Joseph's well loved poem 'When I am old' and embrace your 64 years in the knowledge that you have at least another decade before you can call yourself 'old'.
I'm not far behind you (62) and see the next 10 years (if I'm lucky enough to get them) my 'warming up and winding down' to old age decade.
And at 72, it's on with the purple and the red hat!

Strangely enough I have developed a penchant for purple (lavender) and red woolly hats. Oh! And cats.

I love that combination of colours... bet you look gorgeous

Well that’s proper cheered me up FannyC. Thank you kindly

That song led me to choose my gransnet name. I’ll be 74 soon 😵‍💫

You have a very young vibe Iam
(not saying that getting/ being old, but I hope you see what I mean )

I feel a thread coming on…

I refuse to acknowledge how old I am.

Me too Witzend. I'm fit, I'm healthy and appreciate it so much.
I'm grateful every day. I know it could all change.

Best wishes have a nice day.

I know, Bluebird - I often think, how can I possibly be 73? How can this have happened?
(Before anyone says it, I do know I’m lucky and that it’s better than the alternative!)

I'm 74 in a few weeks time too. Can't believe it.

When the Beatles were singing the song little did we know 2 of them wouldn't make it to 64. Loved George.

Enjoy your birthday.

Happy Birthday!
BTW I’d be quite pleased about being 64 - given that I’m going to be ten years on very soon! 😱

Happy Birthday, Aussie Gran,
64 is a mere girl, I'm a few months older than DH he reminds me every New Years Eve that I will be whatever the year the coming year, but it's not until the autumn, I laugh when his comes up just in the New Year and I call him my toy boy.

Oh heck now it’s going round in my head I will be 64 on Sunday. In my head I am still around 35 where did the time go.

Happy Birthday AussieGran enjoy your day.

Happy birthday AussieGran59 I am 70 later this year so 64 is a mere youngster

I read somewhere that we only view "old" as being 20 years older than ourself, whatever age we are.

Oh yes I remember being 64…..

I also remember singing along with the song when it first came out and thinking “64? Crikey, that’s ancient”. How little we know.

I'm trying to remember what that was like!
