May I please add feet up on the sofa with a book, while also thinking about doing something useful instead?

Well that’s good as I have got six years to train for something?

Love it! I don’t think I’d qualify though, except for toenail cutting grin

I thought this a good idea

@MichaelRosenYes
I propose an Olympics for the over-70s (further sections for over-80s, -90s, 100s).
To avoid heart attacks and other forms of dropping dead, the sports would be eg toe-nail cutting, best dishwasher loading, memorising shopping lists, stone-paper-scissors, TV switcher use etc.

I would add best time at going up the stairs (with bad back)
