Lovely sunny day, just been to Morrisons, very quiet.

Waiting for video call from daughters and family holidaying in Greece somewhere.

Youngest is 38 today, wow, time flies.
The box says "ask" So, how are we all doing.

I'm trying to figure out why I should suddenly be waking up with aches in several places. Is it the mattress, is it the bed, is it too many/not enough pillows? Apart from that, everything is going OK, in this quiet sunny day.

[SparklyKid]

I often wake with various aches, I put it down to getting old, only 75 mind you.

I'm sitting here, looking out of the window at my wife, who is busy deadheading pot plants. She sometimes wonders why she bothers (we are both 80), but she says that, if she didn't 'bother', the house would 'look like a tip'. I suppose she's right. But that's the sort of thing that occupies old people. Keep up with the old ways.

[SparklyKid]

We are not old people. We are wise experienced folk. Nothing wrong with deadheading, I did ours yesterday.

Usually the old ways are the best ways.

dannyk13, you're right! We knew where we were, and what we were doing when we were learning 'the old ways'.
