The middle aged thread

I bought a new pair of slippers for myself this Christmas, they’re great (Draper of Glastonbury).

That’s what I did for many years, as I become more middle aged I have become tidier.

Living in a house with stairs for the first time in a long time, I have come to realise that my super convenient, backless numbers are actually trying to kill me. I need to find my Harris Tweed slippers but fucked if I know which box they are in.

Move to a bungalow as part of old age prepping.

Mention once that you need new slippers and you will get a pair every Birthday. It’s not that people have run out of ideas, they just stopped making any effort.

Time for that stairlift.

We have already worked out where a wheelchair lift could be installed.

When we renovated the house we ensured doorways were wheelchair friendly.

Taking a breather between putting on one sock and the other.

I got a fine pair of Nordic slipper socks to go with my onesie for Christmas. Yes I need a few minutes each to put socks on. The onesie takes about 20 minutes due to stiff joints.

The taste of Green Shield stamps

Now you’re talking.

These. They were of odd dims too I recall.

Quick yank with a crowbar = pocket money for a week.

Well, not sure about all that, but do recall queuing in the Guildford branch with my mum while we we waited to exchange a book for a new plastic dustbin.
What fun we used to have.

Well, not sure about all that
