In the spirit of "what happened today" I was just stroking the cut on the top of my head and I remembered that on Tuesday night I went to the loo in a local pub and on the way out of said loo, I smacked my balding head off the doorframe and cut it. In a typically British manner I scuttled out of the pub and shyly felt the top of my head for damage.
It's 2024, I'm only 6'1", is it too much to ask to raise the height of a doorway?
Since I started balding about 6 years ago I've become HUGELY more susceptible to feeling cold i.e. most people have a big furry hat fitted to their head, nowadays I just have a large vent and am cold for 75% of the year.
Secondly I've become much more likely to bash my head. Happens several times per year. Perhaps because hair acts as an early warning trigger to retract ones scalp before whacking it off the door frame. Perhaps because hair used to soften the blow and make the blow glancing and less impactful.
Hairy types will scoff, but one day you will understand.
Oh and on Wednesday I met with my IFA who says my wife and I are now just about wealthy enough to retire if we want to and "should" have enough money to last us until we are 100, if our investments (ISAs and Pensions) grow at 6% each year. So we will keep working for a bit more to ensure we are all cushty, and assuming our investments are still on the up, we are good to retire.
