I’m sure you’re balance problems have nothing to do with your enthusiastic support for a well known Scottish Industry .:laugh:.
Nah.......not in my case. I don't drink. :laugh:

And how much junk and crap do you have in various places including man drawers Dave. Pot. Kettle. Black. :laugh:
Truthfully
Very little.
I have a man version of a knicker drawer plus one for socks eg long, ankle, cycling etc.
A wardrobe for shirts.....from when I wore dress shirts/ties every day. BUT.....there is room to move in any of my spaces.
And.....it must be bad if MrsD has got her sister to perform the clearout.
I will report back with what has been chucked out.

Your balance problem may have nothng to do with the virus. Passage of time does not help. I have also lost confidence on step ladders but nothing to do with the virus.
I had the opposite problem with my wife. She was too keen to throw things out without looking at them carefully enough.:sad:
Def the virus.......if you google it, its a standard side effect.
Its how I knew I had a problem. I fell off the bike......simply lost balance and fell sideways.
Then I fell over twice while on the golf course.
Even walking in the house I could simply lose it and fall or stagger.
I am slowly improving though.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

If Mr WD tried to do that to me he would lose his B***s :laugh:

Crap in his drawers, the early morning heat has affected your thinking.
You appear to have been thinking of someone else.

I have not had the virus so far as I know and the side effects you mention could be ascribed to me. Never been near the golf course but any sloping surface has to be negotiated carefully with the aid of a stick.

I fell in the living room yesterday playing with the cat! :laugh:

Just back an 18 mile bimble in the sun. Nice out now and the larks were singing their heads off. Saw a red squirrel squashed on the road though :sad:

Lunch now.....just a sandwich.

One lesson learned. Do not go to the dump early on a Monday. There was a queue waiting to get in and due to spacing it took ages.
The Torygraph apparently had a feature on Mull last Saturday and recommended the best place to stay was the Mishnish in Portree among other gaffs.
Generated more amusement than annoyance.
I have met this before in my distillery days when the distillery was placed on the wrong island according to the Scotch Whisky Association. Based in London they did not regard this as of any importance as surely it must be just a short walk away.
Scotland is some little place near Carlisle and everywhere is within easy walking distance.
The Jane MacDonald Cruising programme also got comments as the Mishnish Hotel changed colour several times during the progamme among other howlers.:wacko:
