I’ll be 70 in a couple of weeks, still got my hair and most of my teeth, still work but partially retired, I do a three day week. I cleaned out my shed yesterday and threw away a lot of stuff I won’t be needing anymore but kept my football boots just in case a team is short a combative midfielder with a poor first touch.

Keep yourself handy Everton play with one of those midfielders every week but he’s on his way soon—-hopefully!

Aldi, but most supermarkets sell them.

Mrs H just started making her own 'healthy verson' with alt flour and a few dates mixed in with the figs. Pretty tasty.
Over in Trumpland they are refered to as Fig Newtons, brand name like kleenex.
