Getting on
Good morning and welcome to the world of increasing senility. As I struggle to pull my socks on, I try to remember just when it was my knee joints started to crack. Going into the kitchen I boil a kettle to make a cup of tea and then wonder why it is I'm trying to put, not just the milk back in the fridge, but also the electric kettle, and puzzle for a moment as to why it doesn't fit. Ain't live grand!
Finally, realising the futility of my efforts, I turn on the TV to find what I knew I would. Today's version of Armageddon accompanied by forecasts of economic implosion. It crosses what's left of my mind, that the nightmare I had woken from this particular morning, which featured zombies working in cornish tin mines was preferable. Strange that!
Unfortunately I will have to venture out to the supermarket today as my supply of pork pies is running low. The view from the front window is not too encouraging - damp and dank. Let's hope the car starts. She's getting on a bit, like me, and the cold and the damp get to her as well. Now, what's that that has suddenly illuminated the eastern sky? Could it be the sun, bringing with it a hint of warmth to loosen my old joints? Let's go and see. Bye for now.
