20th March, 2023.
Yes: I think I’m officially getting old.
I’ve got a painkilling gel for me knees: one that’s not as powerful as the co-codamol I’ve got, but equally, not one that makes me sleepy.
So … ?
I went to smear some on my knee, this morning.
I’m glad I was a little slow.
I realised I’d picked up the toothpaste … before I put it on my joints.
That could’ve been entertaining …

It’s strange how time flies, sometimes.
Radio 4’s Today programme is reminding me it’s been twenty years since the start of the US Invasion of Iraq.
To the day.
That’s possibly going to be argued about for years: and something I felt was possibly — very possibly — unneeded … and possibly illegal.
It’s also, possibly something that’s given Vladimir Putin ideas.
Although I don’t see the US encouraging its allies to invade Russia: after the latter invaded a smaller neighbour.
At any rate?
It’s something I didn’t like then … and don’t like now.
But … ?
That still reminds me of a joke that was doing the rounds at the time.
Uday Hussein goes out to buy his father, Saddam, a gift.
And gave it to his father in a carrier.
When he handed it over to his father?
He said “The shop had run out of boxes, so they put it in a bag, Dad.”
I didn’t say it was a good joke, now did I … ?
