The Incredible Shrinking Old Man


Architectural Minimalism

Yesterday I had my annual check up at our Doctor's Surgery.  Help I've shrunk!

 I'm not sure whether it was the recent spinal surgery, just getting older or both but, which ever way you look at me, I'm not as tall as I was.

I used to be a 5 feet ten inches tall practicing architect and now retired, I'm only 5 feet eight and one quarter.  For those more decimal in their outlook, that is a whopping  reduction of some 44 millimetres.  Where did they go and where will this all end?  I don't want to become a 'knee high to a grasshopper octogenarian'!  You shouldn't look down on the elderly its 'ageist'.
