Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Me and Mrs J binged it

We’ve just watched the first two episodes- so tragic and traumatic. We also watched Patience recently- a bit lighter and very good.

Think me and Mrs J must be the only people in the country that can't stand Gavin and Stacy

You are not alone…..

Morning everyone,

Think my table tennis days could be coming to an end.

Played last night and we got battered ( by a very good team ) . That in itself isn't a problem but I increasingly find myself enjoying the practice before a match far far more than the game itself and to make matters much worse I was in pain all night with a reoccurrence of my elbow injury.

So, I found the Moyes interview pretty underwhelming but we can only hope that he's more inspirational with the players - massive game tomorrow.

Anyway Mrs J off to the shop today so I'm in charge.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Unfortunately it’s called getting old Jazzy. When I wasn’t travelling the world I would compete at various Shotokan Karate competitions. I used to do ok against all the other black belts but as I got older I eventually I slowed down. When the realisation that I could get seriously hurt entered my head I stopped competing, continued training but relaxed a bit more thinking more of the technical aspects than the physical. As I say, it’s called getting old, your brain still tells you what to do and when but the body just slows down. Enjoy just playing but don’t let any reduction in speed get to you. Remember, we all get old. In my mind I’m still 23, until I look into the mirror or try to kneel down. It’s a bugger but that’s life I’m afraid……….

My wife was watching a film so only just got her into bed. I’m whacked but will be up in five and a half hours to change her. I’d love to have an actual lay in one day, but it isn’t going to happen. Mates funeral Thursday at the Crematorium, my lad is closing the shop so he can look after my wife while I attend in the morning, then it’s back home immediately after to change her again then wash, dress her and feed her. Our routines work well for my wife but it sucks the life out of myself. Sorry for being a bit self pitying, I’ll bounce back again tomorrow, goodnight all………

I think you do marvellous Pete ,if you cannot have a moan where does that leave the rest of us .Stay strong that man . I do feel that as in getting old you have to accept that you need some kind of support or it will be more that your knees .

Thanks Pete , that's pretty much exactly as I see it too.

No need to apologise you are not self-pitying, just having a hard time and have the need to get things off your chest, which is a good thing. We’re all here to listen.

Apologies for multi quote. @Armaghtoffee replied to one of my posts re aging that getting old is a privilege so that’s how I try to look at it now. In my head I’m still 19 until I look in the mirror and see an old bat staring back at me.

@Barnfred 55 thinking of you on Cal’s birthday.
