Not that fit

One false knee, arthritis in the other plus my left ankle.
Plenty of painkillers and alcohol sorts that.
Still manage to get my steps in most days but did about four hours in the garden on Monday and couldn’t move on Tuesday
We are not going on our next cruise until mid October which is ages away.
Not 2025, but a later year, a similar cruise is likely to be our next family trip, when this old codger has to dig into his pension to pay for us, our daughter and grand-daughters. And you know how that hurts. You'll hear the cries of pain from there.screwy wrote: 23 Apr 2023, 11:27Well I gave in and pre booked Arvia in May 25, only cos it was the cheapest 14 night Med.
I am only a poor retired civil servant after all. Pension rise was a poor 10.1%! How’s a man supposed to live.
It will be the only cruise that year,time to reign in.

My late husband’s civil service pension paid to me is the same plus my local government pension and old age pension - all 10.1%. Sounds better than it is but with no increase in personal tax allowance and cost of living rises the increases will soon be absorbed. However I’m grateful for what I get and at 75 I’m doing my best to spend it - life’s too short !!!
