Losing my strength?

Post by marisca »

I'm suffering terrible withdrawal symptoms from sailing. Normally I and the boat would be working up to a series of events in May. This year the boat is still in its shed, polished and anti-fouled but with a cover waiting for the relaxation that has to come sometime. So I thought I would try and simulate nda sensations emotions of sailing and how better than to stand under a cold shower and tear up £50 notes? But, blow me, I can't even do that successfully. These new plastic notes will not tear or am I losing my strength?
Any others of the pensioners on here noticed how healthy their bank balance is this month? It's only been 5 weeks and at this rate there may be serious questions asked by my dearly beloved. Pity it's my age demographic with the sword of Damocles dangling.

You may not go for this - and to a degree, I'd understand it - but rather than beating yourself up in the shower, what about I give you my address and you could just post the offending notes for me to look after? I could then make some of paper and post them back to you and I think your whole showering experience, not to mention your sense of self worth will be restored to previously enjoyed levels...?
