I've not long got back from taking my elderly neighbour to the hopsital to visit his wife. She had a fall today & broke her hip. They've been having a bad run of late with ill health issues. They're both 83 & you wouldn't wana meet a nicer couple, i known them for 15 years & they're like second parents to me.
Now why is it that they seem to be dealt a shite hand when the old miserable basket over the road that moans at everything is fighting fit

She moans at the local kids for trivial things & no matter what is never happy.
Life sometimes really sucks & it allways seems to be the nice ones that get f%$Łed over
If you haven't done so already, tell them you're privileged to have them as neighbours. That should bless them.
It's amazingly difficult to grow old gracefully. I don't know how so many people manage it.
Goodonyer Pete.
