Starting to realise that stuff I have owned from new is getting really old. I’ve got a power drill that is 30 years old now. Seen me though several houses and still works.

Ha ha. Its a Black and Decker, fuck me it was well made in its time. I'm quite sentimentally attached to it now, won't ever throw it away.

I’ve 20 years on you. I go to bed and wake up feeling like I’ve been run over by a truck then kicked the fuck out of by one of these cage fighters you youngsters like. The body struggles to get out of a bed the mind would quite happily never leave.

 

In other words, fuck off.

I hate to say it but in my medical experience that’s probably something terminal. A crick in your neck in your 20s is a really bad sign. Really sorry for you. Make the most of what little time you have left. Be strong.

Looking at pension statements then thinking about a nice camper van. But one with a bit more comfort and a solid bathroom.

 

ideally one that can dispose of a pound of mashed up Dundee cake without a trace.

I was lucky enough to go to Dave Grohl's show in London on Monday night. The theatre was tiny and the seats have left my back in fucking agony. It's Friday morning and I'm still finding it difficult to move properly.

Put your preconceptions aside and do a little yoga, it is a game changer.

 

There are loads of videos on youtube you can do at home without a soul watching.

 

Twenty minutes here and there and you'll notice a world of difference.
