Re: humbled ?
Similar,had a lady with an aged cooker in which the oven walls were rotting through,replacement required I told her,she asked can’t you patch it over I don’t want to be buying a new cooker at my age,I asked her how old she was she said 100 in three months,didn’t wear glasses,hearing spot on.
I told her she should be buying the best there is,why save money at that age.Suppose it’s the habit of a life time.Re: humbled ?
Have you noticed its very rare for a bloke to hit the century, they must be doing something to us that we have missed so far. 😥

Re: humbled ?
I was in Enfield one morning, parked up near a busy T junction and saw an old lady looking akward trying to cross the road.
I got out the van and asked if I could help her, she let me take her arm and I saw her across the road.
When she got to the other side of the road she said I have a little trouble seeing clearly at my age, nice of you to help me, young man.
I laughed when she said young man and said it was a long time since I was called young man. She said I bet your less than half my age, I said I’m 50 years old, she said as I though less than half my age I’m 103. I thought she was joking she was still getting about and had just been for her morning walk. I saw her face in the local paper a few days weeks later talking about being 104 and still active.
Amazing.Re: humbled ?

I keep telling my missus we men are an endangered species. I’ve tried to make it clear we burn ourselves out by sheer hard work, as we are the hunters and they are simply gathers. Strangely didn’t go down too well?
I have tried to reinforce my theory regards the common cold. These women go on at us regards “Man Flu” being a misnomer. We all know dfifferent don’t we lads, just look at the size of a mans handkerchief compared to a womans. We know what a cold really is, not just the sniffles for us guys.
Just look around you, old dears shopping, on the bus etc and 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of residential home occupants are women.
Best go and lie down, time is ticking.
