OBSERVATIONS MADE DURING

THE CUTTING OF TOE NAILS 

 

The strangest thing it seems to me,

and I wonder why it happens to be,

that as I get older I shrink in height

and yet when I bend and flex my knee

my feet seem further away from me.

    Very true write Michael, trying to put socks on can be hard as well, luckily in this hot weather no socks are needed with sandals.

      Cheers Orchi - here's a tip - I've found it helps if you remove your armour first

        Trouble gets worse when the belly gets in the way - not that I've got a belly - well not a big one !!

        Thanks MICHAEL ~ For the Barrington & The Bunions ! I'm still growing and (so far) i can still touch my TOES ~ cut my TOE NAILS and massage my FEET with e-cream ! I miss ANGELA she is a qualified REFLEXOLOGIST (30 seconds to escape from a straight-jacket handcuffed !) Thanks for the warning ! Yours BRIAN ~ Please check my OCTOPUSSY ~ Thanks B

          I find the easiest way to get down there is to stand upright, place foot on chair and the proceed to trim, massage or whatever else takes your fancy. I must add though that I find feet to be one of the most unattractive parts of the human anatomy but at least they stop us from falling down.

          What a snip! My belly has been an object in the way of such activity for some time.

                I actually like the Barrington cartoons!😊

                • Michael Edwards
