Hi, I've just turned 50

Hello everyone…

I’m Carly, just signed up. Turned 50 a couple of months ago and instead of shying away from it I decided to leap into it headfirst, and so I’ve joined this!

I’m a civil servant based in London. Nice to meet you all. Not sure what the hello protocol is or if I’m posting in the right place, just wanted to get an idea of what the general vibe is and what everyone likes to talk about!

Best,

Carly

Hello Carly! I’m Tracy, I’m very new too. Everyone here is really nice and friendly.

Happy belated 50th! I thought I was the baby of the group (I’m 51)

I’m sure everyone will give you a warm welcome.

Hi CarlyB welcome

Turning 50 times seem a bit excessive if I may say so , it will make you dizzy. Never mind matron as pills to fix that. :039:

Just to mention I have been to Japan , as well as so many other countries

pearl diving demo in Japan. Women do it because they can hold their breath for longer

Welcome to the forum Carly, it’s nice to meet you. Quite a bit happening on the forum and plenty of specialist topics to dive into.
The sporty section seems to be a bit slack recently, but as one thread fades into the basement, another one pops up in it’s place.
Anything to do with Trump has taken on a life of its own…
Alternatively post your daily ramblings in the good morning thread, or post your favourite photos in “Photos to share”
Have a good look round and see what takes your fancy, I look forward to reading you…

Happy belated Birthday Carly…
