Hello, just wondering what we have all inadvertently succumbed to, that in hindsight could be very much filed under the heading of mid life crisis. For myself, having toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo, learning to play the drums, (did neither) I joined the local WI, and the local Canoe club and splashed out on some Invisalign braces to give me the Hollywood smile I have always dreamed of. If I could only afford the convertible white Audi I'd be truly content!! I used to have regular gel nails but my love for gardening (another cliche I know) has meant that its a waste of money as I am incapable of religiously wearing gardening gloves.

I am an architect, mainly designing houses. The training was quite arduous and at times I felt I wouldn't make it but I kept going. I don't think it would be possible to start at 65 but there may be other new things you could try which would't take so long.
