Routine.

When you get old and feeble

Routine is your best friend

It tells you what you have to do

From beginning to the end

Once you break the sequence

Confusion then can reign

Needing lots of extra work

For your poor befuddled brain

So never call it boring

Repetitive it may be

But it shows you have all your chairs at home

For other folk to see.

(Of course, none of us has reached that stage yet!) πŸ™„

Excellent Don. I’m not at that stage at all. Now where did I put that chair? XxxπŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜πŸŒˆ

I noticed that in the 'related posts' someone else had written a poem on the same subject 3 years ago so I thought I'd have a shufty. I found it was me who had become 'hidden'. I had left for using 'inappropriate language'.

So I haven't changed a bit in 3 years! I really must get myself a life.

Stay safe and hope your cough isn’t being too bothersome. XxxπŸ˜€πŸ’•πŸŒˆ

Thanks Carole, yes I’m back in control of my breathing again. Time for short run with my friends in my isolated campervan before I totally lose it I think.πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ˜˜xx

A kind relative washed my bedding for me and must have used a strong washing powder or fabric softener. The fumes nearly knocked me out during the night. I should have stuck to my routine!😣 Better now. 😘x

Glad you're feeling better Don. I too can't use the scented laundry stuff. Bio D make natural unscented laundry liquid and fabric conditioner which are ok for me.

Thanks HH, my wife always used Ariel and I carried on with it without giving it much thought. The last time I had trouble was with a new bedroom carpet which gave off fumes. That resulted in a 999 call and a week in hospital, I’ve learnt how to deal with difficulties like that since. Stick to the routines is best. πŸ˜€

I get this all the time when windows are open.(from next door-- it comes into my house) I find it very upsetting. Breathing affected and very stressing. It has got worse over years. Do be careful that it doesnt affect you more?

I just have to say that your poems relate to how many of us feel Don. The contents are quite amazing and I love them!

There are a few of us who have had our posts taken down and out knuckles rapped. I was sorry today to miss Skis post about Dominic C before it’s removal. So glad you are not Hidden, Don. As for routine I am not a creature of routine and prefer a bit of spontaneity. Today I got spontaneous with a high pressure hose. Not very successfully. First I cleaned the car which worked well, then I cleaned some of the paving stones. I just seemed to be moving the dirt around. Then I had to reclean the car because I splashed it with dirt from the paving. I Only got about half of it done and ended up covered in dirt too. What a mess! Perhaps I’ll follow your advice and stick to a routine tomorrow......

One thing about a routine, it makes time fly especially fitting in the regular rests between jobs, however small. Part of my routine is do an online jigsaw or two, then a puzzle or two, then conscience butts in and says do a bit of housework! Look at all that ironing - oh, its far too hot for ironing....x

β€’ in reply toLyd12

My cleaning lady taught me that there is no need to iron these days and I don't. Drying flat or drip drying works for most things and for me a few creases here and there are acceptable. πŸ˜‰x

Routine is the most efficient way of getting all those morning jobs done in less than an hour without forgetting one.
