February 2023

Ok its cold, but not as much as January

After a year of health issues, hopefully all behind me and looking forward to a year of planning moving forward etc etc etc.

The garden continues with its yearly update, a new raised decking area. Lots of Pots etc.

As you get older small things begin to annoy you, why do they make life so difficult when it doesn't have to be. Small issue with Bank Account and have to visit branch, I just need need to change a telephone number why do I need on an account I have held for 50 years, 3 forms of identification plus more..... arghhhhhhhhh

Also why do some need to take control over things that don't need control. If it works fine leave it.....

At 72 you begin to appreciate life, in life's dawn the end is in sight and whilst hate counting it does seems the numbers are not on my side anymore.

Things that annoy me are number....

1. Putin, leave the world alone and the world will leave you alone.

2. The ridiculous statements that made, "taking the world by storm" oh come on, no its not.

3. Moaning on social media, and achieving nothing. If only they spent half the time speaking to the right person, maybe just maybe

4. High cost of living, life doesn't change was like in the 80's 70's 60's and 50's even. Times where different, no mobile contracts, no Netflix, Amazon to subscribe too. Not easy then.

5. The size of Mars bars, I still remember buying at 2 and a half pennies, before became 6p... Was a brick then, now a couple of bites.

Could go on and on, but as you get older you do appreciate life more, appreciate others more and the fact time is not on your side....
