Nahh I was already considered ancient I was 15. Once you've already felt that initial shock, you don't feel it anymore.

    Wait till you hit 70. Biggest shock of my life.

    I'll be 60 this year - that's looming fucking huge. For some reason 50 didn't really bother me but 60 really sounds old. And yet half the time I still feel half my age. It's almost like most of ageing is realising what old people mean when they say they don't feel old.

    You still care? You don't go into higher age categories anymore. You just get more admired the older you are.

    I didn't think I'd care - I breezed past 60 - but I find that I do. It's partly that I've teetered into the category of "elderly". It's partly that The End is looming. My mother died at 90. Dementia took her last five years. I'm 73. I try not to do the maths.

    Yes, it's true you "get more admired". "Isn't she marvellous for her age!!" Boak.
