Knee pads are always top of the list Gnube, especially if you're a groveller
like me. :-)) I never leave home without 'em. I use a big cushion at home
because no one sees me at home, but out in wild world, I put knee pads on.
Knee pads, glasses, a hat to keep me head warm, arse hanging out the back of
the jeans, old steel toe capped boots on and a thermos flask, and I wonder
why younger women aren't attracted to me.

I've been having some problems recently with my jeans slipping down
when I bend over and stand up, and they need rehoisting. One day last
week they fell right down, exposing my undies - I hasten to add that I
was at home indoors so no old ladies swooning at the sight!

This seems to have something to do with the fact with my middle-age
spread in my midriff makes the body-to-jeans interface into a negative
slope, and the jeans tend towards gravity.

I've now solved the problem though - a decent pair of trouser braces.

Boiler suits start looking like a very attractive proposition; think
of all the adjusting/re-hoisting time you'd save over whatever time
you have left! ;O)

A younger person won't see why that's something you'd think about, but
it makes more and more total sense around the half century mark! ;O)

Only half the items to hang out to dry on wash day too - hmm maybe a
smart black one for Best and Sundays too! ;O)

Take Care,
