How often do you check the weather forecast?

My partner checks it all the time.

At the moment I check the weather much more than usual ahead, because any sign of possible sun, I try to keep free!

Lots apply in bits and bobs...

Get up at 6.30! Never! No!

Number 1 - avoid whenever possible unless you are sharing vital information or its someone really close who wants and needs to know the details...

I don't moan about politics, I try to think, "what can be done" which I was brought up with. Moaning is different from engaging in critical thinking.

Definitely 13 - I'm wearing the same style of glasses as the 1970's, they've "come round" again. Note to self: young people aren't always interested. Ooops.

I admit to (1). I have never done (2,6,7,11,15,16,20,21, 25), and I have always done the rest, so age does not come into it.

Has anyone else noticed that (9, 14) are essentiaally the same uestion? Perhaps they should be conflated and replaced with (14b) 'Do you keep repeating yourself'

I’ve always had to sit to put socks on, never wake naturally before 07.30, I don’t watch the Brits and haven’t been excited about a domestic appliance since my first microwave oven in about 1980! Must mean that at 69 I’ve still a little way to go.

I can say yes to 17 out of 25 from the list. I rarely look at the weather forecast as I am not an outside person and if I have to go out the weather does not bother me.

I think about 16 of them apply to me, not the hourly checking of weather forecasts though.

But there again, many of them have been relevant for many years, not just as I’ve got older.

Quite a few on that list apply to me. I do check the weather forecast but not hourly.

Occasionally check weather but it's mainly when I'm out for the day, so know what to wear. I read that list in the paper and thought that's my DH!

I don't need to check the forecast, as I know it will be miserable.

I don't mind the advancing years but I hate the illnesses and infirmities that come with it.

Always done, 3, 5, 11, 19…. Probably more.
Besides I KNOW I’m not just getting older, but am old! Don’t give a monkey’s - can’t do anything about it!

Guilty as charged

I check it so I know when it’s better to go for my walk or if I need to be out and about so could be several times.

FYI the list was as follows:-

THE TOP 25 SIGNS YOU'RE GETTING OLDER:
