Yes, John,            There were things that we did at 20 or 40 or even 60 
that, if we can do them, take longer now.  

 

               Some of this was things that we did when we were young and 
foolish; we’re not so young anymore.  

 

               Here in the US we’re familiar with the folk song: ‘The old Gray 
Mare ain’t what she used to be’.

Not bragging - given that I have quite a few “physical problems” ( arthritic 
knee, displace L3 vertibra)  that have since all but prevented me from actually 
doing most of what I previously hoped that I could be doing now ☹

Ok, Quit bragging, I’ve got you both beat.

Correct, but I made mine about 5 ½ yrs after the end of my last contract – so 
many other “things” I wanted to do that I’d not had time for over the previous 
many years.

No way will I be “going back to contracting”  - 6 yrs away from all that hassle 
has convinced me that it wouldn’t be worth all the hassle & stress (had quite 
enough of that whilst I was working - contract or not!), especially now that 
the UK tax regs on contract work have become more complex & difficult to 
“navigate”. ☹

 

OTOH, I thought I’d deleted my LinkedIn a/c but I still get a few “job 
opportunities” flagged up by various agencies which got my contact details from 
that site – seems that deleting those a/c’s is considerably more “difficult” 
than it should be ☹.

Don't assume. I've just been hired at 83.5 years old. Not a long-term hire, nor 
well paid, but every little helps.
