I might have carried stuff a bit too enthusiastically I think. It is very easily done. I still move quickly when I am active. You just forget that although you are feeling energetic at the time you may pay a price for it later. You feel better and you think I don&#8217;t need to make two trips to the car and then your doomed. It is a very fine line between that and loosing upper body strength at times. When we came out of the two years lockdown although I could walk OK I felt quite weak in my core and I still am. That makes your back worse too of course.

There seem to be less and less opportunity&#8217;s for me personally with regard to live music as time has passed. That&#8217;s a shame. I have tried getting involved with a few things of course, but its <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Slim_Pickens\">slim picking&#8217;s<\/a> right now.  Plus to much time for introspection brings up some very odd and disturbing mental landscapes. I now know why people get old weird and crazy if left to long to their own devices.
