Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go. Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car.

Pops say's ten percent of his destroyers crew the HMS Wrangler

Actually, an extra surge in sales is imminent, due to the lamentable actions of a few North American oddities in the blogging world.
Have a lovely day, Vest
