Ex Baggie dies

[Barrera]

The older you get - I am in my 60s - the more you tend to notice people you once knew or famous faces dying. Never used to think about it 10 years ago. Always remember Phil’s “Death-o-Meter” test thread … I think I am forecast to go at 83. Which would be an achievement these days.

Know what you mean! It does seem that so many of the cultural icons of my youth have now passed, whether from film/tv, sport or music. Some passed too soon but sobering to think that most were in their eighties which isn't so very far away in the scheme of things. More of worry to me is that both my parents are now 90 and whilst in relatively good health for their age I'm still dreading the inevitable. I suppose your sixties is also when you generally first begin to feel the affect of ageing so whilst the mind thinks one thing, the body tells you something else!😁 Perhaps this creeping sense of our own mortality is what also begins to kick start the Victor Meldrew syndrome in many of us at this age-or is that just me? Hey ho, carpe diem and all that.
