Doctor this morning talking through the results of my annual medical, All good and the best bit was as he shook my hand to say good bye he said "I'll see you next year",
It's official I am going to be alive for at least another year

That's awesome news Shaun
Yay, another year to pull your leg
I got distracted on the stairs this afternoon, couldn't for the life of me remember if I was going up or coming down

Maybe I should consider getting off the stairs now. . . .

Speaking of distraction, you know when you pick something up to take it somewhere and, on route, you see something that needs doing, so you stop and do it, then you carry on for a minute or two and then wonder where that thing you had in your hand is 'cos it isn't in your hand now........ yes, you put it down somewhere.
BUT WHERE??
When you do 'find' (stumble across) it a couple of days later.....WHY THERE??
Getting old can be very time consuming

Last week I walked into the lounge to get my glasses. Walked back to the hobby room, sat down and tried to put the tv remote on my nose.

Your nose is too small...

That's like looking for your glasses while one is wearing them.
I've looked for my mobile phone a couple of times while I've been talking on it. . . .

Suits.... Do you remember the 70s and 80s when suits came in all sorts of tasteful patterned cloths and were loose single or double breasted, covered the bum in length. Now? Any cloth or colour so long as its thin and black, single breasted but doesn't actually button up, waist length (if that), with sleeves that stop well short of the wrist. Matched with plain white shirts with cut away collars that fail to cover the sides of the tie's knot.
Down south this is the dress of the out of London estate agent - no one in London wears suits any more.
Yes, l used to be a well suited and booted city man and loved my suits, especially when l arrived home and could take them off! But why is it that current day garb is so cheap and shrunken looking. Sorry, this post was prompted by a TV advert with an estate agent
