Haven't moved from bed all day. Got some kind of tummy bug that makes me feel nauseous but without actually being sick. Haven't eaten a thing since last night. God it's a horrible feeling.

Getting old. While definitely preferable to the alternative it still sucks. In my 20's and 30's I could play football on Saturday afternoon, go out afterwards and end up in a nightclub until 2am and then on to a house party, get up for Sunday morning football, after two hours sleep, and then go out on the beers all afternoon and still be fine to get up and go to work on Monday morning. Now I'm in my late 40's and if I sleep a bit funny I'm in pain for days.
I was at a bad Manners gig on Saturday night. The places was bouncing, literally and their tunes are hard to resist. I was bouncing away for the entire time, about an hour, fuelled by a good afternoon session, and expected the worse in the morning. It seems alcohol and adrenaline did their job perfectly. No after effects at all. Slept like a log though.😁

Also Northern Rail . We were back at the train station unexpectedly early so thought we'd get an earlier train back and Finnish the night off back in a pub at home. That train never left. The one next to it was due to pass though our station so go on that. It was rammed. Then oddly everyone got off. That one was changed to a different one. We all then legged it to platform 2 as that now said it was going to ours. No train. When one pulled in loads tried to get on. A few checked with the driver who said, I'm off to bed this is going nowhere. Then a man in an orange coat told people a different story and after questioning those that heard we were off back to the train we'd just got off. This did set off. Utterly rammed. And very very late. We got home very late. But some were still sat on the train as they had not moved from getting on in the first place and thought it was going to it's original destination. It was not. How they got home I don't know. Utter chaos.

Have you tested for Covid. That describes 100% how I felt. I was sick once but spent three days feeling constantly nauseous. It was grim.

I think this sort of thing could be a future time bomb.
Kids are doing so much sport - not necessarily a bad thing - and picking up so many injuries, having operations aplenty and potentially doing long term damage..
I do wonder how may are going to have to stop by the time they're 30 for fear of ending upmin a wheel chair before they're 40..
A bit alarmist, I know, but when I was a kid hardly anyone had sports injury operations.
Kids and parents I speak to these days make it sound commonplace.

I do wonder if there's an element of pushy parents and coaches that are to blame when kids are younger as well.

I played/trained rugby 6 times a week when I was a teenager and thought nothing of it but when I made 1st team at school (which was a very good standard) I started to pick up injuries and with scouts and big games etc there was a lot of pressure from the coaches to just get on with it and play.

Cue me getting to my early twenties and my knee just disintegrated - meniscus tears, snapped ACLs and a dislocation, i played for about 8 months without an ACL whilst i waited for the op. Not to mention my hamstrings going about 4 times in a couple of years from rushing back.

I'm 32 now and my right knee is goosed - dread to think what state I'll be in at 60!

My eldest daughter is 33 now, and needs a new knee. She bounced off the front bumper of my VW van when she was 16 on her moped, her mother said would be a good idea, and broke a chunk off her tibia under the knee cartridge. She had to have it screwed back in place. Now after about 7 ops on her knee, its all about pain management and waiting until she’s gets to an age when they will replace the knee.
It didn’t help she snapped the ACL in the other knee a few years ago so stressed the bad knee even more.

In my mind I'm still in my twenties, unfortunately my body isn't. Took my younger boy to football training one day and they were messing about in the long jump pit before it started. Told them I'd show them how it was done. I sprinted towards the pit and hit the take off board perfectly. Unfortunately at the exact moment my foot hit the board my hamstring went twang and I was left in a heap on the floor. Cue much laughter from a bunch of 11 year olds. So, while the mind is still willing, the body is not.
Oh Neil, that did make me laugh! 😂
Had I seen it I would have awarded you another gold medal for comedy value! 😁 👍

Christmas.

Not feeling it, whole family is stuck for ideas and the pressure to think of stuff for the sake of stuff is getting me down.

Gift ideas?

Spend money on something that involves spending time together.

Life's too short for another pair of socks you don't need.
