DOES A Bath A Day Keep The "Cobwebs" Away?

[Arthur Little]

Hmm ... there can be few among us who aren't familiar with the old adage, "An apple a day, *keeps the doctor away". Matter of fact, I'm munching one as I type.

Actually, though, how much truth there is in *that, of course, is ... ... ANYONE'S guess. Ask Doc Alan.

But in an interview with 'The Times' newspaper, Tim Loughton, the MP for East Worthing & Shoreham - and Tory backbencher - extols the virtues of steeping for an hour in a warm bubblebath first thing each morning ... providing you don't doze off in the process!

According to Mr Loughton, his morning ritual cleanses the body, while clearing the mind.

Hence my analogous mention of "cobwebs" which, in the context, serves a dual purpose.

Oops... thanks for the reminder Arthur.

I do like to have a bath or shower at least once a month, whether needed or not.

Tbh, ... I'm inclined to agree; (whenever time permits my taking one) I find a luxurious, lo~ng soak ooo much more relaxing.

Sadly there is no bath provided in my lovely little OAP bungy, BUT I do have a nice fold-away seat, should I start feeling a little tired while taking my shower.

Aww ... 's a shame, Graham. Seems to be the modern trend, in order to minimise the risk of older people emerging from a bathtub and slipping in the process.

BUT I do have a nice fold-away seat, should I start feeling a little tired while taking my shower.

Ahh well ... ... at least that's some compensation, I suppose.

Yes... maybe useful in the future, when I become a 'proper' old dodderer.
