Well, I think I saw it all last night in Sue Perkin's programme on Japan. She met a group of Ama (women of the sea) these were women free divers in their 80s! :-0

Each day they would do at least a couple of sessions of free diving in the chilly seas to gather shell fish from the sea floor to sell at market. This group of Ama were in their 80s and had been doing this, day in day out, since their mid teens...remarkable ladies :-0

Think the saying 'you're as young as you feel' comes to mind :-D

And only four years older than our eldest grandson! :-D

My goodness Tawny you are the same age as my youngest son :-0 :-0 :-0 :-D

Thank you all. I’ll pass on to Mr Owl. I think I might just have to resort to teasing him about his age as I’m just a youngster at 35 :-D

Happy birthday Mr Owl!
Same birth date as my son in law (he's 40) :-D

Dear Tawny

Hello

Happy birthday to Mr Owl!

Take gentle care
Best wishes

I am 10 I think but OH,who is 64 and was born in 1955, has a mother who is a fine poser.

We saw something on-line wher she said she was born in 1959!

Remarkable woman.

Happy Birthday mister Owl. I feel like a youngster but the only trouble is I can't run fast enough to catch one ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D.I have a 67 year old body but a 6 year old mentality :-D

Happy birthday Mr Owl, long may he stay feeling young. I still get a surprise when I remember my actual age, as you have said, inside my brain I have not changed since I actually was young. (now 79) :-) :-) It is when the body aches and creaks I know different. :-D

Thank you all. I’ll pass on happy birthday to Mr Owl. Age is just a number and he just has to remember that.

Happy birthday Mr Owl.

From aged 40 I decided to stay at 39, now at age 77 it's
just a number to me.
Am always young in my mind and outlook like most people
my age and over the only hold back is my body says different :-D

Happy Birthday to Mr Owl.

Aged 71, in my mind I'm forever sixteen...until I try to do things that I did when I was sixteen! :-S :-D :-D

Yes. Happy birthday to Mr Owl :-D

Forgot to add HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr Owl :-D <3

My mum was forever 29 if you asked her how old she was

Or the other reply was I,m a little bit older in my head than I am in my teeth

Odd that one cos her teeth spent all their time in a cup of water on the kitchen window sill

Maybe significant though as she had all her teeth out at 29 !

Yes I'm stuck at 26 ;-) but that's only a few birthdays ago :-D :-D :-D :-D

I left school over 50 yrs ago :-D :-D :-D :-D

Mr Owl is still young but on Monday he was saying how it’s been 20 years since he left school and yet as far he’s concerned he feels 18. After college, 2 university degrees, 2 wives and 4 children he knows not, but where did the time go? Is that how everyone feels until as my 69 year old father in law says “My body tells me I’m not”? Do people always remain forever young in their minds?
