You know you're getting old when...

....you start getting excited about buying lots of plants and perennials for the garden. When do you start telling everyone how old you are at every juncture and exhaling loudly when you sit down?

I definitely haven't got that far.  I'm still at the point of laughing at the daft names that paint companies and others give colours.  I have just chosen something called evening prima which is just a fancy name for dark grey.

You wake up in the morning and before you get out of bed you have to stretch like a cat in a sunny spot, and as you do so the clicking of joints fires off like a gatling gun

not only do I get excited about buying plants for the garden I am obessed with solar lights

you know when you are really old when you have a nice cup of tea and think "ooh that's hit the spot"

When someone asks your age and acts really surprised and says “omg didn’t realise you were -that- old!”

Ok m4 thanks, even though you think it is a compliment, it isn’t a compliment.  Gits.

I am obessed with solar lights

I am currently looking at wooden planters with trellis attached for climbers. I am not even forty. Bring this shit on, I say.

*googles armchairs which help you stand up*

Need one of those chairs for my dad as he's genuinely struggling to get out of his regular chair these days.  He announced the other day that his legs are now too weak to climb ladders although he can get up the stairs.

heh @ minkie

yes I needed to contain it a bit as it was taking over the garden and it grows lovely up it

ugh I might need to go an take some drugs or get another tattoo or something now
