A sobering thought
Just roughed out a new Last Will and Testament, sad to say that my life can be disposed of in only 285 words.
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

A guy I used to work with (whose over 90 now) finished off each day with the words "That's another step nearer the grave then".

Re: A sobering thought
Despite living for so long with Her Ladyship I am still sane, though that blasted labrador is tipping me over the edge.

Re: A sobering thought
Mine was recently summed up in two by the missus, the second of which was 'off'.
Don't take it personally......

Re: A sobering thought
A couple of weeks ago a mate who lives in London came up to to my area to spend the day clearing out his brother's flat, his elderly and not functioning unable to care for himself brother having been moved into a care home by the local social services.
I collected my mate from the airport and we went to clear out the flat. It was not a happy scene. We went through everything and ended up with four cartons of stuff worth saving which we then took to the care home. The point is, I watched a man's life and possessions reduced to four small cartons. It was a sad day and gave me much to reflect on.

Re: A sobering thought
Looking around the house, at things I would miss if I no longer had them, very little it seems.

Re: A sobering thought
Lady M moaning about lack of income, but I reckon her blasted labrador has cost around £3,000 so far, and it's only a year old. But she won't tolerate a word said against it. I'd be happier living in a tent, on my own.
