That's about it. I have a little old cat who is aging at about the same speed as me ( eyesight, balance, etc). I don't feel so alone.
We're still going on about longer arms to read picking lists at work. I managed to find a way to print in large font so things are OK in the end.
...When the word, "cherish" comes to mind and lodges a glow of warmth in the pit of your belly, a dryness in the throat and dampness to your eyes.
And, somewhere in those feelings, there is a sense of gladness that you've had the chances you had and have lived through all those and feel thankful for living. For we are all worth it.

You know you're getting old when people 15 to 20 years younger than you are talking about knowing they are getting old!!! 
I read the obituaries in bed every morning. If I don't feature, l get up.
I know you're old because road tax was abolished years ago.... It's been VED ( vehicle excise duty) for years. LOL.
You know you are getting old when your wife offers you super sex, and you reply I will have the soup.
You know you're young when you can hold a conversation while on your phone and watching TV.
You know you're old when you try turning up the TV with your younger relatives phone. Then tell everyone the remote doesn't work anymore.
You know you're young when you play a trick on your old folks by picking up the phone and changing channels with it. Then handing it over and watching the older folk work it out.
You're old when your chair tilts and lifts to help you up.

Same same but different, excise duty is still tax. I’m not actually that old in the grand scheme of things (approaching middle age)
It’s still called Vehicle Tax, Road Tax, Car Tax. Letters to me refer to Vehicle Tax, I think it’s just the DVLA that like to use Vehicle Excise Duty because they work in boring jobs and like that excise also means ‘to remove surgically’.
You’ve been waiting at the badgers sett sitting quite comfortably, then when it comes time for them to emerge you know you have to pee and thats not going to go away anytime soon no matter how much you squeeze your knees together and jiggle

I have a wide-mouthed 1L Nalgene water bottle, marked with a large indelible P on the side, for occasions like those. Has been useful in many circumstances.
Not quite so convenient for the ladies though.
I knew a guy who spent a lot of money on new kit. 4 season tent, good sleeping bag, etc. Second trip out he shared with a mate who used such a bottle. In the middle of the night it leaked and he was downhill.
His new sleeping bag and tent held the smell for quite a few trips. He was not happy!

Like when she says, would you like to come upstairs and have sex, and you reply I don't think I can do both.
