Can I just correct a piece of misinformation in this thread please - the bit about being too old to learn.

So long as we have a working brain we can learn. It isn't age stopping us, it is ego. It is refusal. It is choice.

And it is really silly, because learning staves off cognitive decline, reduces dementia, and extends life. I know this because I did my post grad academic thesis on the subject. In my sixties.

So please, stop using the phrase 'too old'. We are only too old when we are dead.

True, that. I learned dance in my 50's & went to art school in my 60's, & had I been able to do the final year would have a B A for the effort. And what's more, if the chance to learn something which interests me presents itself, I might just do more learning. 

Apparently I'm 'not allowed to die' so might need something to do....
