Its that time of the year, fingers and ankles start nagging with arthritus however it appears they have company 
Both knees are giving me some jip now 
This getting old is not for me.

Getting old isn't good - but the other option doesn't appeal either

All the sprogs have gone back to school, mixed up their cold and other bugs and taken a different set home.  Parent catches them, heroically goes into work, air con passes it around and bang - the back to school sickness wave hits!!  Towards the end of September.  You can predict it ...     Happens in January too.
