Especially shoes.
We all \'wear\' our clothes in unique manner. By \'wear\' I mean the wrinkle and creases we cause to repeatedly develop in our garments. For we are all a different shape.
The old clothes we wear become a part of our outward personna as much as the smile lines, wrinkles and the way we limp along.

Dear Andy - New cloths = going out = being respectable = behaving oneself = oh god again! Old clothes = home = cozy = I like me a little = fireplace = books = music = a nice lunch = no worries mate.

I went to Specsavers last week in Wells City, a place near where I live, to order two new pairs of glasses. Whilst I was walking through the town I saw this old fella sat on bare, and cold paving slabs in front of a locked door, which looked just as flaky as the old fella. He was only wearing a top jumper and a pair of jogging bottoms, which looked as though they were as old as him. He must have been 70 at least. So. off I trotted to the nearest charity shop and bought him a pair of shoes, his were ridden with holes, which I thought would fit him, they did, a couple T-shirts and a woolly jumper, and a jacket all for under £20.
I then checked into Greggs and bought him 2 filled rolls, a few cakes, and a large cup of coffee which he looked dire for. When I greeted him with his ageing wrinkled up face and stinking which nearly knocked me out, I think he may have wet himself, but never the less I handed him his gifts. He suddenly burst into tears and kept repeating \"Thank you, I love you, thank I love you so much, I thank the Lord for you. As I waved goodbye to him and walked away up I thought to myself about how priceless his heart really is. I couldn\'t stay to have a chat with him because my bus was arriving very soon. Humans need to understand just because of a pensioner being homeless and parked up begging on the street doesn\'t mean they not to be treated as humans, too. I have reflected upon him since, and although I am powerless to help any more than I did I hope he eventually finds help from someone somewhere somehow. It\'s a miserable world when we get to see this happening on our Streets, especially when the generations who are older than us who suffer every second of every minute of every hour, day and months. I hope the next time anyone who reads this and gets the chance, then even if it\'s a quid pulled from your flowing over with money pockets and make a gesture of reassurance that at least in the least of all things he, or she has been thought about. God bless that old fella I had the grace to meet. Old cloths are gold dust to the homeless.

A fine write Gold. Ohhh we\'re wise then, I reckon: \'Everyone instructed unto the kingdom of God brings forth from their treasure things old and new\'. I read that the newer treasures are on top, and the older treasures are down below. We was \'ere in 1066, so have centuries of treasure - I hope!

Agree wholeheartedly - comfort comes from clothing that has warmed the heart. Joan Sutherland\'s voice is so haunting and thank you for sharing that number dear Goldi.

Love chet, hate acrostics.
Wonderful toothless fluffy trumpet and in later years a wonderfully worn voice and phrasing.
The late stuff was really him at his best which is not how things usually work out for musicians. But there again he didnt fade away, took a dive out of a window to an abrupt end.

You\'re never to old to learn a bad new trick. My 5\" screen phone is too flippin small to want to spend too much time squinting at it and laptop too big.

My mum is 62 and on her phone more than me! They had to keep waving that no mobile phone sign to her in the theatre!
Every occasion needs a selfie, especially with her favourite daughter!
The older generation eh?

Andy,
Good Morning!
I enjoyed the video and the poem!
I must admit, I’m an owner of one of those “mobiles”! I will also admit that I don’t own a computer! If I didn’t have this device that I’m using right now, I wouldn’t be able to send you this message! For my purposes, I find having this device to be very convenient because it is small enough to fit anywhere! I do travel quite a bit.
To each his/her own...
I guess!
I hope you’re getting a lot of R & R this week!
Have a wonderful day!
I’ll be indoors today. The temperature outdoors is -17C!
My love to Joyce and to you!

nowt so strange as folk... maybe it said more about your expectations... tho I would probably agree... Did you know there is no reason whatsoever to be told or expected not to use your mobile in a GP practice or hospital waiting area.... if anyone says turn it off or it interferes with this or that, tell them to go take a hike....we used to let anyone use their mobile at our old surgery & clinics.....rant over.. nice poem...

Love the SAX Uncle Andy : always COOL : perhaps too cool for classical : but it has apperaed once or twice on the Proms ! BRIAN refuses to have a MOBILE : He calls it the FOBILE MOAN of the Mobile Phone (spoonerism ?). I do need one in case Im called in if one of my Clients is in Emergency. Im ON CALL 6am to Midnight ! Teens live on their Phones & Tablets (not paracetamol !) but i do see more 50+ using mobiles in PUBLIC. Your Poem is a Gem : reporting Society Today !
Blessings & Love for YOU & JOYCE :

A fine write Gold - Modern oldies?! Title reminded me of a long word (ooh). Zacharias, John Baptist\'s father, could not speak a while, after seeing an angel in the Temple - Psychophonosthenia. \'Soul-sound-less\'. Psycho-phonos-thenia. Bit early in the day for these long words! Too early for an unwatered scotch?
