You mustn’t know Arthur Itis like I know Arthur Itis. Would exchange him for Susie any day . JS.
Des I either have elastic shoe laces which stay permanently fastened or slip on shoes. As to socks depends if the wife is in a good mood if I wear or not. Never wear socks in the summer . So only have to worry about 6 months of the year.
Just think of John in Oz he”s never worn long pants for 40 odd years forever young.
Cheers JS.

Re: The message
Many years ago working in a large department store there was a nurse, cannot remember if I knew her socially or sexually but no matter.
She told me that during the colder weather many of the seniors who came into the store would collapse.
On inspection by the Ambos the problem was uncovered, too much clothing in the warm store overheated them.
Something I do not suffer from.
Yes I do know Athur and his mate rhitis, he visits my fingers on many a fay during the cold weather.
Not a finger on my hands that at some time wee not cut open working in galleys and shore side kitchens.
Arthurs mater Sci attica used to visit but I stuffed him up, push ups he does not like, but Arturism is far worse than Rhumatitis.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: The message
I haven’t reached that stage yet . It’s hard enough lifting the bread and marmalade to my mouth in the morning , since the wife refused to do it. She says any argument on the subject and I can put my socks on myself. JS

Re: The message
This morning I decided on a major regime change. In future I will only buy canned beer, as today (recycling collection day) the glass recycling box was so heavy to hump outside due to being full of small beer bottles; cans are light and go in wheelie reycling bin
