When cycling.

Baked beans I think are lovely grub

I have them every day.

I have them with my breakfast

And my dinner come what may.

I always keep lots in the house

I can never have enough.

They give me lots of energy

When the going gets really tough

And when the storms are blowing hard

The ducks all go quack quack

With all those baked beans in tum

I know the wind is at my back.

What I learned in Dietitians' school:

Beans, beans,

Good for the heart

The more you eat

The more you.... pass wind.

As in Up Pompei - we couldn't quite find a word to rhyme...

No need for electric bikes, eh Don? Just make all cyclists eat beans for a bit of extra propulsion!! You've been quite quiet, Don, hope all is well with the two of you? xx

I'm glad you're ok, but I do wish you wouldn't be so morbid! 😘😘 xx

Donald_1931 in reply to leo60

I don’t see that as morbid it’s just a natural progression at my age. It’s about the only thing that one can be certain about these days. I’m in no hurry to go, but go I eventually will. 😘😘xx

I know 😊 Morbid wasn’t the word I wanted to use really, but I didn’t know what to write ! What you have just written is spot on, but not for me to say! 😘 I do hope you won’t rush Don, it’s lovely having you around 🤗😘🤗😊 xx

My husband's Aunt who died in her late 90s would say to anyone who asked how she was, 'Well, I woke up again this morning, so I guess I must be ok.' She always said it with a giggle, but I know that she would have understood your feelings very well, Don.Old age brings with it the certain knowledge that we are not immortal.

On the brighter side, it makes me feel happier spending money these days as I've worked out that my best possible life expectancy (taking aside all my current medical conditions) would be another 30 yrs whilst my husband is looking at 20. But given our medical conditions, we're likely to go quite a bit sooner than that, so although it's not exactly 'spend, spend, spend' we've stopped worrying about the future so much and are making sure we enjoy each day (when we're not at the doctors etc)!

Sometimes 'enjoying each day' simply means having a quiet, relaxing one. Other times, we may enjoy an outing. Since 'lockdown' and 'shielding' even a stroll to the local shop feels like an 'outing'!

Are you getting out at all these days, Don? I know your camper has gone, but do you still have a car? I can't remember. If not, a scooter? I wouldn't be without mine now. The pavements are pretty awful around here and I spend my journey humming, 'Good vibrations...' as I jolt over the bumps, but it's wonderful to have some independence back.

I've been fortunate to get a place on the Pulmonary Rehab, starting today. It takes me 20 mins to get there on my scooter, but I'm really looking forward to the trip (not literally!).

I hope you're still seeing friends and acquaintances, Don. I find that even a quick chat with someone at the shop can brighten my day. We all need human contact - the lock down's proved that, for sure.

I've missed you lately. It's a shame we don't all live near each other. We could have a right good rave up, couldn't we?
