Hello, Dodgy and Sn!pe. Sn!pe said there was signs of life here,
and here you are! It's all a bit quiet though, innit.

Ayup, both. Are you ready for the hurly-burly of another new year?

I'm hoping for something less fraught, to be honest. 2017 wasn't sooooo
bad but it coulda bin better.

Actually considering we're (me, anyway) are talking about my creaking
nearly 70 year old frame, and it's history, maybe not so bad really.

Here's to TKR. ;-)

Yeah, me too. We'll have to rename him "Metalenes".

Metalenee: Singular, so far. Still 'Dodgy' where the other one is
concerned.

All done and dusted, thanks. Had it done back in July and it's bloody
marvellous. Walking, previously, was, at best painful, at worst flippin
agony. All in the past now. Till it goes pear shaped. ;-)

Both knees were set to be done but I'm walking so well with a new right
knee that my left knee has stopped hurting too. All the pressure has been
relieved and I walk like a human being again.

Left one will need doing at some time but the surgeon is reluctant to fix
what doesn't appear broke. I'm happy with that, for now.

Pear shaped? I'm under no illusions about the possibility of 'issues'
down the line but for now, I'll just enjoy feeling 'young' again.

Good for you, Mick. But are you still cleaning windows? :-)

Yes. I've still got a smallish 'book' that gets me out of the house most
mornings. Only mornings though. But not if the weather is in any way
questionable, like this morning.

I've stocked up on boooze and still have too much flipping festive
food. I didn't think I could put on so much weight so fast.

It's a so'n'so, ain't it? I've gone up a waist size and started
using braces. Otherwise my belt, which starts the day at the
Equator, always ends up slipping to the Tropic of Capricorn.

Braces are a good idea, I've not thought og wearing them before.
If only it was only a waist size I'd gone up... Gonna start that
diet, soonish.

I have two other things swinging around at the Tropic of Capricorn.

Plan? Ha! I just do what I'm told. It was a good un. Noisy, too
much food and not quite enough booze. I hope yours was just as good
:-)
I'm not sure when I last spoke to you, it's been a good few years.

Good enough, I guess. We don't do much, having no kids to share it with.
We just pull the occasional cracker and binge watch another episode of
Line Of Duty on the iPlayer. Sad, but hey, it got us though the day. ;-)

Indeed. Too long really I suppose. I'm always hanging around on here
hoping for a glimpse of an old face. As me and the Wading Bird have
discussed, nowt else works like usenet so we hang around hoping it will
return to its former glory.

I've got some spare time at the moment, so out of curiousity I
thought I'd check it out again. <sigh>.
