Old Age Can Be A Bummer.

Has a child I spent many a day annoying teachers at my schools.
One of my favourites was writing so small that I knew they would struggle to read.

Now in my later years I feel that nature is getting its own back on me.
I buy a item like today I bought a wireless mouse from Tesco's.
I then get the booklet out that came with the mouse and the writing was unreadable .

The reason for this was because the writing was so bloody small, I mean who do they expect to read all the information.

Longfellow, I too find the writing in any instructions very small, whether it's medicines or gadgets. I keep handy a magnifying glass for these situations.

Re: Old Age Can Be A Bummer.

I can't read the small print on anything now. I've had two Optician appointments cancelled and I know I definitely need stronger lens now.

Looks like I may have to wait another 6 months now
