Hi Paul,
67 here and know exactly what you mean! Happy to have a natter via email or whatever, see what common ground there may be 🙂

My mind says 53, and sometimes my body says older. I'm just privileged to have lived this long. If you'd like to chat just let me know.

Hi Paul,
62 is the new 40’s, lol .
I’m 62, yet, have no idea what I’m supposed to feel like, lol.
So, for me, I just go with it.
Like I’m looking for some one to chat with.
I became widowed in 2020, unexpectedly and miss talking to others.
I am a night owl though, but am usually up in the afternoons.
In fact I’m off to bed, now.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hope to hear from you.

Hi Snowcat I too am widowed it is awful isn't it, the loss of your partner is very difficult to get through but life has to go on and I for one am trying to make the most of it. It is good to connect with others and I do try to get out and join in with others as much as I can.
Life will never be as good as it was but it can still be a pleasant experience, just very different now. I expect you will understand what I mean.

Kind Regards
Rose

Hi Paul,
I don't class 62 as old nowadays as long as we have good health we can do as much as we always did, I am 65 and very active and if anything I think I am fitter than I used to be in my 40s, that could be 'cos I don't drink as much alcohol as I used to I get rosy cheeks now whenever I have more than a couple of drinks and certainly could not handle a hangover anymore ! Don't get me wrong I still enjoy a drink or two just not as much as I used to, a glass or two of wine with a nice meal is lush !
.I also play badminton when I can and do resistant training and walking when I have time.
I am on the East Coast too Cleethorpes is the nearest seaside for me.
I will get my pension in August when I reach 66 ! I will still carry on working part time as I like to be busy and it will be a little more cash to keep the wolves from the door.
Looking forward to the warm weather returning this week as I want to get out into my little garden and start getting it ready for spring and summer !.
I do think this winter has been a drag...a lot of dull weather and seemed colder this year too.
I hope you are well and have managed to stay cheerful through the grey clouds.

Kind Regards
Rose

They say 60 is the new 40 but I don’t believe it!

Hi Paul, my name is Julie. I live in the UK. I have recently joined this site and would like to have penpals. I like travelling and researching ancestry. I like days out, eating out and theatre. It would be nice to hear from you.
