Staying Alive
Last month, I booked an appointment with the dentist.
What's surprising about that? Well, about three years ago, I decided that as I don't like dentists, and as my teeth — those that are left of them — are in reasonable condition, and as I wasn't planning to live much longer, I'd give up seeing the dentist. I thought, next time I get toothache, that'll be time for an early bath.

I'm getting old.
I've decided to give up my car, mainly for environmental and political reasons, but also for economy, so these days I'm largely dependent on bicycles for transport. In an environment with a lot of wet and windy weather especially in winter, I find that bad weather is a deterrent to cycling. Also, as I age, my balance is getting noticeably worse — I regularly fall. Thus far, it doesn't seem to affect me on a moving bicycle, but I particularly often fall when getting on and off bicycles.
