I just keep on hearing about people that are busy and overworked. Not me. I am bored. A 12 yo son, with the usual problems, but doing fine overall. I work freelance, and it's going well at the moment. An okay-ish relationship with dp. Health ok. I loved my twenties, there was always a new adventure to embark on and so much I wanted! Now I don't seem to want much anymore. I wrote a book 2 years ago, and that gave an amazing sense of achievement. I went on an 6 months course to be a better speaker (1 day a month) and that was great for my social life, and gave me a great sense of achievement. Now I can't think of anything I would like to do next? What do you do? What's your big adventure? What have you started learning after 40?

I've signed up to trek the Great Wall of China for charity. To get out and "do something" for a worthwhile cause and to motivate myself to be fitter and generally less fat!

I did my surf bronze at 40. I'm not very fit and had never been on a surf board until I did the course. I passed😃.
My oldest son has been involved with nippers so I set myself a challenge to help the surf club.
