Aging

I'm getting old. Helping my son and his wife move into our house and deposit the remainder of their lives at Grandma's has wrecked my back and pretty much everything else as well.
Manual labour, I'm out of condition, and unused to physical activity. It wasn't always like that. I have moved house or rather council flat in a taxi... I have moved in my own van, but these days I get people to do it for me. I don't even pack these days.
Of course I have too much stuff... It's hard to travel light. It's always fun when we do move when people come into into my study, you can see them adding a few hundred pounds to the bill as they look at all my books.
