Handwriting gets worse with age!? Thank God for computers as mine's barely legible now!!

I forgot to say I used to love porridge too (yes I overdosed on oats and have barely touched them for 10 years, I also loved flapjack). It's also a smell I love love love when it has golden syrup in it - people make it in the microwave at work, mmm...

It doesn't help that I have Benign Essential Tremors since I was yonger than 12 (my paternal grandfather had them so did a paternal uncle) and it trulyy DOES get worse as you age. Filling out medical forms is a PITA, mostly I write "see list" and give them a copy of my entire medical file I keep on the computer.

I overdosed on oats decades ago but I do like them now.
