Was very concerned at the problem with threads convinced now that handing a pen without a top to allow trials then saying thankyou helps me. A guy I met recently through a friend is 84 he has been a jeweller watchmaker from a young age this requires extraordinary dexterity he was describing how he used to turn watch balance staffs etc while he was admiring a cast pen and having difficulty screwing it back together unsuccessfully finally he resorted to some force so I reached over and said I will do that leaving out the for you bit trying to give him room to squirm. Felt a bit mongrel but even he has trouble so they sometimes get the best of us all.Turning 81 today on fathers day over here I wondered when this coordination becomes difficult.
I was showing him pens to illustrate encapsulation he has offered me his jewellers lathe located elsewhere from his home and watch parts he has in cartons. I am glad you have fluency in French living there it must improve both settling in and everyday contacts.
