The thread is getting close to 1000 posts - the maximum number we can have on a thread - so we've made a new thread for when this one is full which you can find here.
Rejuvenation just to know my lovely Mr. L ( we only married 5 years ago) is recovering from a serious illness and is being taken care of by the NHS better than I could have hoped for. Just roll back the years please a little more!
When I’m out with my grandchildren and someone mistakes me for their Mum ! Going to one event, one grandson pointed out that as I’m an OAP I can get in cheaper ... the man selling the tickets said “ well whatever you’re on, can I have some “ .... I practically skipped across the field ?♀️?
Spending time with the grandchildren is a great way to feel young again. Lots of laughter, reading stories and taking them to the park. Telling stories of your own childhood makes their eyes light up! Walks help too - when you can pick up with nature, explain things and get them to notice and ask questions.
Like a lot of respondents it's our grandchildren but they are also quite tiring to be around so relatively small doses with spaces in between suits best!
Being out with my 8-year old grandson who talks to me about all sorts of things - music, computer games, football - thinking that I understand everything.
Music! I am always transported elsewhere when I catch the notes or lyrics of a song from yesteryear. Whether it's the disco beats of the seventies, where I relive some mad escapade of my youth, the rhythms from a brass band (I am back with my dad, who loved them) or the croons of Frank Sinatra (my mother, Frank and I used to sing and cook together).
