Although we're getting on a bit, we're not ashamed to say that me and my good lady, well, we get it every day. We try different positions when we're both upstairs in bed if we're not lying down you'll find us writhing round instead. There's tubes of stuff in drawers next to us on the bedside table and manuals that we've bought (oh, plus the internet, when we're able). When needs arise we get it, boy, we get it while it's hot, it comes from out of nowhere and we're upstairs like a shot. The word is out, and local swinging groups call to invite us but then find what we are on about is rheumatoid arthritis!

So about my love letter surprising you. What kind of letter were you expecting I'd write and to which God? (Just curious)

When we were young we used to giggle about the moans and groans of the elderly, thinking we would never be that way as we aged. The joke was on us. I have now turned into my mother whose constant lower backache never went away. I did have compassion and gave her back rubs. I encouraged my youngest daughter to become therapeutic massage therapist. Now I get a wonderful massage once a week for caring for my granddaughter! I loved the humor in your poem Viv. : )
