About

Life at 50 Something is my musings on life in general, things that are particularly relevant to us at 50 something and some of the great things about life at 50 something. You can learn about what my friends and I do to pretend we are NOT 50 something and also about some of the topical issues of the moment. I also read a lot of books and like seeing films, so you will probably learn about these too. Sometimes I might recommend a book or film.

I am in my mid-50s and can't believe I am this old. I suppose everyone else feels the same way. I am very active and while my body might not look its age, I do! And my face does, much to my annoyance. Oh, well.

I live in Perth, Western Australia, which is the best place on earth to live (I suspect everyone in the world says this about where they live). It is very pretty and has the right sort of climate for the activities that I enjoy, which, apart from reading and going to the movies, are open water swimming, going to the gym and just walking along the beach or the suburbs.
