A child you held in your arms as a 1 week old baby is on the TV running in the European Championship Athletics.
Happened about 1 hour ago, when Elidh Child ran in the finals of the womens 400m hurdles.
Old? Right now I feel ancient!

I noticed that I am getting old, too, as I became uncle for the 10th time this week.
It's even funny when you tell those young kids about the times before "The Wall came down". My 5 year old nethew asked me if it did hurt anybody.
