I know I tend to neglect to climb up to my attic too often...
You see at my age there are days when you feel you would need a good dose of oil for your gears, since every movement produces worrying creaking and pangs.
But today I decided to come up here to try to tidy all this mess and also because there is always an unexpected find, when I rummage among all the stuff I have collected for years.

My nephew Frimpong Bear whom maybe you know, has invited me to get rid of all these old and dusty items once and for all and transform the attic into an astronomic observatory ( you know, I live in a very secluded part of Bearshire and there is not any light pollution here at night), but I cannot make up my mind.

So I’m trying to clean a little around here, and then, as soon as the attic will have a more presentable look, I’ll go to relax downstairs with a well deserved cup of tea.

My friend Stevie (one of my neighbours) had half promised to come to help me today, but then he decided instead to head off to the Lake District.
Ah..... men!
