Ageing accelerates around age 50 ― some organs faster than others

Venus Williams winning a match at 45 years old. Me doing yard work at 45 years old. All relatively the same thing right?

RIGHT?

One of the great gifts of growing up is discovering the exquisite art of solitude. What was once an uncomfortable silence is now a luxury. The house is quiet, and I can dance in the kitchen without judgment and simply do nothing. My best company is me, with coffee, a good movie, and the freedom to be, because solitude is not an absence, it is a fullness and peace of mind.

There are so many cool action figures on sale right now.

But I'm going to be losing my job in a couple of weeks. I need to be more prudent with my money with so much uncertainty looming.

But these action figures are soooo coooool! Would be perfect for my collection.

I hate adulting. Ugh

I try to workout in the mornings before work. 45-60mins of weights and cardio. But my workouts are nothing compared to the physicality of the yard work I do on weekends.

My body is so sore this morning. Like muscles I never knew existed are aching LOL. Can’t believe people do this as a hobby LOL

Missed the headline special report last week on #BBC South Evening News?

Catch up below on the discussion of new CPC-CG research on rising #publichealthfunerals. Professor Jane Falkingham discusses the link between such funerals and areas with high #deprivation and #socioeconomic #inequality. She highlights how measures need to be implemented to stop people reaching later life unable to pay for their own #funerals.

Had to Google “can you die from a heat stroke?” after mowing my lawn in 30c temps. Feeling diizzy and warm to the touch but rapidly cooling down my basement where it’s only 20c.

Another beautiful weather weekend spent doing backbreaking manual labour around the house and yard.

Don’t buy a house. The mortgage payments are just the beginnings of a life of pain, suffering and zero free time to enjoy the things you love.

Also don’t put down mulch if you live in a wind tunnel

By Jessica Ross and Grace Nakamura
