Oh yes - my wife can;t get about much and doesn;t walk well- but she still acts like a young person in that way

so it annoy me when I come across (as happened a short while ago) when old people wander up the aisle in ASDA side by side and force me to stand still pressed up by the shelves
and then walk past and don;t even say "Thank you" never mind moving out of the way a bit
the ones that did it today actually gave me a dirty look - for reasons that are beyond me
This never seems to happen with younger people - even ones with kids behave better than some old people

anyway - rant over - better not take my blood pressure for a while!!

Can't say I agree there. My favourite "pet hate" is young(?) mothers with buggies, walking two abreast along the pavement, forcing other people to walk on the grass or road to pass them. But, as always, it is not ALL young people. 🙂

Evening all.
It’s been a very trying day .
My diverticulitis has been playing me up since 4am this morning. Normally it calms down by mid morning at the latest, not today.
Trying to race my dinghy this morning, while being cold, with stomach cramps did not make me a happy boy. 😀. It seemed to calm down this afternoon until I had something to eat. Then the cramps returned with a vengeance.
It starting to get a bit better now but I don’t think I am going to risk wine tonight. 😂

My group of close friends range from 67 to 71, but we classify ourselves as young old people. We are still very active going to gigs, and travelling around regularly, and still reasonably fit.
I do get annoyed and frustrated with old people dithering around and just stopping in the middle of the pavement or the aisles in the shops for no apparent reason. Maybe I'm being unreasonable and at some point in the future that could be me. I hope not though.

Possibly cognitive decline, can't remember what they had to do next.
Wait until you are an octogenarian!

This wedding in June is getting to worry me more and more
it is my wife's son's - or as I am starting to think of it - his soon-to-be-wife's

She had invited my wife to the dress fitting - on the basis that she could look for a mother-of-the-groom type dress at the same time and they could choose together and stuff
but she does have a bit of a mother-in-law complex at time

anyway - it is soon - and detail were sent today and it turns out that they have to leave at 8:30
and she knows my wife can;t get up early becuase of illnesses and medications and stuff
and the shop ONLY does bride dresses - but she can;t remember the name of the shop
and her Mum suddenly didn;t get her dress from there - as both of them had told us - but from anotehr unknown shop down the road
and there is no-one that can pick my wife up (she knows I can;t drive at the moment)

and some other stuff

sounds like she just doesn't want her at the fitting


the way it is going I am going to be have a day in June where I have to spend the whole day stopping her crying, looking after the kids so they don;t get in the way, trying to cheer her up, and all that

I hope the hotel has some decent wine - and whiskey!!!!


why are wedding so damn complicated - our was dead simple and worked out fine
