''Locking'' hands

Morning àll - cue music to Dixon of Dock Green!! Showing my age again! For the làst 2 or 3 months my right thumb has occasionally twisted round ìnto mý palm and ì have to physically reposition it with my othèr hand. Then the left one stàrted doing it. It's not painful as such but in the same way as restless legs aren't pàinful just another bloody annoyance! Early doors today and all fingers suddenly twisted in and lòcked and that was painful. Has anyoñè elsè had anything similàr or am I as usual blaming MSA when its completely innocent. Humphh! When did you last see the words MSA and 'completely innocent' in the same sentence!!! Perhaps one day - we should consider ourselves as trailblazers rather than victims.

I'm getting very excited coz the artist is starting work soon on Barney 's portrait. Ìts a prezzie for Den for our golden wedding anniversary ìn June. Lordy lordy where did the years go. We've actually been together since 1968 and increasingly we find ourselves saying to, foŕ instance, one of the carers, d'ya remember xyz and getting the response I wasn't born then. Oh well we're young àt heart. I've done it again, wandered off topic and started whittering on. I'm going ........ well I'll just show you the photo that barney's portrait is being done from. That sounds grammatically awful but you know what I mean!!! Keep smiling folks I'm convinced it frightens the grim reaper away or at least makes the bugger work for his living. If we're still laughing he must think there àre easier targets around! OK, OK Im going ... hugs all round xxx
