I often long for the 'old' days when I could happily wear winter clothes and enjoy doing so.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-28865663174810542142016-09-04T12:06:19.027+08:002016-09-04T12:06:19.027+08:00The armchair has been turned over and shaken as mu...The armchair has been turned over and shaken as much as possible but no house keys. That is as big a mystery as how the car keys fell out of his top pocket.<br />Your mother's words are so profound and so true. Phil puts up with my faults as I put up with his and after all these years we recognise them more as part of ourselves than anything really bad.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-28307193647713056802016-09-04T12:04:33.853+08:002016-09-04T12:04:33.853+08:00We are too old to get upset by small things now. ...We are too old to get upset by small things now.

I lost a favourite watch once and searched high and low for it, even checked the pocket of my jeans where I sometimes put it. The watch was gone. Next day, I heard a clunking in the washing machine and there was my watch merrily going through the entire long was cycle. Pre-wash, wash, three rinse and spins. still in the jeans pocket, but the left pocket which I hadn't checked as I usually never put things in there. Of course it was useless after that.<br />As for pockets in clothes, this is why I still wear my 25 year old ugly, faded, ski jacket It has five pockets, two of which are large enough to hold a sandwich and a book.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-9498096914911775062016-09-03T06:37:28.071+08:002016-09-03T06:37:28.071+08:00How intensely frustrating.

We searched the friends car, we went back and searched the place we had been. Nothing, nada, zip.<br />A fortnight later the keys appeared. Under the cushion in the chair he sits in. He hadn't taken them with him.<br />And of course you love him. My mama told me it isn't that we think the people we love are perfect - we just prefer their faults to other people's virtues. (And have a fault or six of our own).Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-12749154480467495552016-09-03T06:05:07.053+08:002016-09-03T06:05:07.053+08:00Getting upset about it only leads to karma messing...Getting upset about it only leads to karma messing you up ...

On the bright side, no identifier means not having to have locks all changed. ...
