I started thinking of myself as old a couple of years ago.
I'm still doing the same things at more or less the same energy level as 15-20 years ago, so others say they don't see me as old. They are always surprised to know I'm 76 ..but they are probably only being kind.
I haven't got to the stage yet of asking people at bus stops if they know how old I am.
Well that means I have had 8 bonus years. I am still fairly fit but I have definitely slowed down a bit over the last year or two. I have a York exercise bike/ski machine in the garage which I use every day.
You have two more bonus years Scot. Use them wisely. After 85 it's all a slippery slope.... Although there are some in their 90s that defy the odds. It's funny how we age differently. Genes or luck, who knows.

Mart I think of you as a thirty-something. I wonder if there is a test for psychological age vs physical age.

Y'know, now you have mentioned it, I don't really think of anyone on here as "old". If age is ever mentioned, it always give me a little jolt of surprise!
