Hi Alan, Thanks. It's not so much worry about approaching forty as shock! Physical health worries me regarding my job as I get older. Though my father never has worked in a factory, he's spent his life in physical work and he's still going in his seventies though at a slower pace now. My mother lost her health to nursing others - lifting a patient and has had to live with pain for the past 25 years. Watching parents grow older is scary.
Sounds like you're having a nightmare with the noise where you live. I live on a main road and cars slowly start whizzing through around 4am. >From 730am until around 830 there's barely a second of silence in the traffic.
