Do you remember when..............

10.30pm? Mossfarr you night owl!

I've been known to stagger, exhausted to my bed at 6pm.

Mind you, I do get up very early.

I'm glad to say I can still do a lot of the above things others now find hard but I can't:

Eat wheat without a great deal of discomfort.
Drink alcohol - ditto - I did so love Baileys.
Get out of a swimming pool by just hoisting myself up by the arms.
Sing like I used to.
See like I used to.
Run like mad just for the sheer fun of it.
Stay up all night painting.

But I have done all these things in the past so I'm grateful.

I didn't have to use hair coloring.

As Doodle says, but any kind of stockings would do me!

Thread a needle, even with one of those little wire things, without having to keep squinting and wetting the thread and still keep missing.

Get out of a low car.

Going out for a night on the town - in High Heels!

Wearing a bikini on holiday.

Staying up late without longing for my bed after 10.30pm.

Reading without having to search for my reading glasses.

Get out of the bath.
Do up a bra without twiddling it around - if you know what I mean.
Sleep all night without getting up to visit the loo.

Unscrew screw-top bottles

Put on fine stockings instead of support socks ?

climb the stairs without a break on the landing.

All of those, and I could also run for a bus

Go shopping without being out of puff after 5 minutes.

Sit on a low chair without worrying how/if you would be able to get up again.

You could sleep all night , without having to go to the loo !

You were painfree.

Cut any toenails!

Cut your little toenail ?

Climb on a chair to reach a high shelf. Step down from a high step without holding on, put on pants without sitting down.

Open those dratted bottles like bleach with a squeeze while pushing down and turning technique.

Get up from the floor without a crane?
