It seems like I have to return to the theme of clutter every year at about this time. 77 blogs already, one for every year of my life. It’s a never ending story. Clutter gets everywhere. Most of all inside my head.
GP’s give a clutter of pills, so that nobody need go away empty handed. Some to take before eating; some after food; some before bedtime; some twice a day; some with no alcohol, which is great at Christmas !
Next, there are all the things lying around the house that you have forgotten you have. Gadgets that didn’t do the job; stuff you got just in case and then never needed; clothes you’ve grown out of; things that might come in useful one day. Broken things you never got round to mending.
There is always more. The advances in technology that leave you behind. Functionality that you didn’t ask for and never use. Cables for your last computer that don’t fit the new version.
More and more rules for everything and complicated forms to fill in. A feast for civil servants jobs and for administrators WFH🤡
Why have one bin for your household rubbish when you can have ten?
My New Years resolution for 2025 :———
🤡LET’S GET BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE🤡

with a simple heart, and all mixed up you ‘Dear John’ write your joyous words on clutter! Maybe I am a bit sharp today! However I just say ”WHAT a LOad Of Clap TRAP’ , it gives me cause to smile and admire your 77-all the sevens of years on this globe, and in this world? Have you left me and others with a thought or two for each other, or are we all in a cluttered world? where we cannot respond to a heart warmth truth?
We are all of us men/women/children and oldies full of our selevs! Do we we have time for others? I just wonder- I hope not and your utterings are not just babble, But a stream of truths waiting for us all to consider? What one may ask?
WELL thats up to the Long Lost LONNIE Party ‘LLLP’ and the modern day leaders of our society to provide us not with a refuse/rubbish colletion, but words of wisdom for us all!!!
I am looking and listening, to todays tv programmes in general, and the concerns with OLD AGE. I watched last night and the night before ‘nt witness’. the thread of the plot mentally escaped me, and in the end the accuse culprit asked those with the accusations of murder, to prove it,
As entertainment enchanting, however as reality and the story line, it was drama, however I interpretated boardering on the supernatural thoughts, and in conclusion after the show ended, i felt oldage was being seriously questioned and reality in modern life as an ‘OLDIE’ with the inference of alzhmiers, dementia, and memory loss..
I just wonder what is the average age of the UK adult population, and there again is the most popular tv audiance those in old age and the alzhmiers and denemtia over 70 years.
Are the broadcasters trying to educate us into the popoular? or alledges beliefs of mental illnesses in old age.
Dear John was this a problem in the extracare schemes during your days of employment. regards. David
tv programme ‘SILENT WITNESS’
happiness, happiness, one of our daughter is having a treat right now on a caribean cruise, water events and sandy beaches lots of sunside. Our hearts are just enjoying her escapades in the warm weather, lightening our souls in this winter weather of ours just now in the UK. Smiles all round. I am waiting for the LLLP to investigate once again the high jinks of the political events in parliament, as we gather our thoughts and look forward to a good ‘spring time’ with lots of lambs wagging their tails! and the political Tails -tales of westminister.
now then ‘OLD age’? what is it? I was glued to channel 5 programme ” will you get dementia” and the logical resason for dementia. There was no definition =Postitively= as I could understand of what exactly in medical terms is dementia? In my ignorance I interpretated it as ‘GROWING OLDER’ with ailments that may affect ones mind ? No specific ailment/allergy but a general slowing down of ones bodily mental and physical atributes and skills as one enters OLD AGE= Specifically the research team looked at patients over 60’65 years of age, or ladies in the menopause! Again to my mind growing older.
There is no clear or precise definition of DEMENTIA: However they did quote the ALZHMIERS SOCITY, and the effects of again growing old with ‘alzhmiers’
I must be patient and considerate for those around me in my retirement village,in which I live and dwell, WE have as a body of people an average age of arond 80 to 83 years, so while we converse, chatter and dine together , socialising we are all should I say a few marbles short, or 9pence to the shilling. ‘GOD Presevre us, and help us, as we help each other.
