Sunday 8.10 am
As daylight breached the fruitless trees, I repelled the snow burdened park in venture of beverage and fresh attire. Bedraggled, I staggered towards the Tavern situated in an adjacent district. Tired but relieved, I conquered their icy steps to hanker their juice, but the inn door shut on contact, with a hoarse voice advising me from an upper window to 'get lost (or words to that effect). Agitated, I rotated at speed to haplessly slip on their neglected upper platform, plummetted and dislocated my shoulder, then roared for compassion. Doors, windows and blinds compressed in unison and playing children vacated their squalid playground without hesitation on their ancestors firm advice. An excruciating pain invaded my arm as I rolled around in the snow (as if that helps). With my one remaining capable arm I reviewed the situation............

Memory Problems
Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techiniques - visualization, association - it made a huge difference for me."
"That's great! What was the name of the clinic?"
Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that red flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife. . ."Rose, what was the name of that clinic?"
