And can anyone tell me why, after just a few months, I have caught myself
groaning loudly while I bend to pick up a tool from the floor. Why has this
just suddenly began to make a difference in bending over properly. I'm
starting to sound like a tennis player. :-))

Nice to see I'm amongst friends - I'm a '56 kid as well

A relatively rare bunch I think, not remotely sure why, just not that
many of us I've noticed, and females of that year rarest of all
(probably lying about it of course! ;O)

Actually I don't have a problem with the groaning whilst bending down.
The bit I can't quite come to terms with is that over the last couple
of years my feet seem to have got further away - only they look about
the same distance as they were before! Something odd going on
somewhere.....

To quote an old script, "you need leg lag - leg lag? Yes, leg lag! -
Neddy, get the Land Rover out and measure his legs!"

I don't know where the creaks and grinds come from, but they sure do
pop up more often lately! BTW, you got to know about this; those super
duper expensive knee guards from Screwfix are a seriously good
investment at 47 or there abouts! ;O) OK they may be the worst part of
£30 but new knees are dearer and harder to fit - what a revelation
they were on the first outing - it was like being a kid again! ;O)


Take Care,
