My spare time

One of my proudest achievements was to solve a problem that causes me great discomfort and has for years discouraged me from bathing. The harsh, cold and hard feeling of a moulded plastic bathtub behind my back.

One becomes thinner and bonier as age catches up with oneself and despite enviable musculature making many a man wish he had the biceps I had in my youth, time takes its toll and scapula and vertebrae become bony escarpments poking through the skin. I decided enough was enough and after the wife cajolled me into accompanying her on a shopping trip to find a new bed, the answer to my problems was thrust right under my nose (as I sleep on my front, I tested the beds' comfort lying chest down, otherwise it would not have been an accurate diagnosis of the correct mattress type).

Anyhow, I digress. The inspiration came when my body came into contact with a new fangled memory foam mattress (a product devised by NASA would you know, responsible for some wonderful inventions). The way the molecules moved and shaped themselves to my body's contours was perfect. I ordered 3 mattresses and after delivery, was able to construct a fantastic new bath that moulded to my body, and coated in a thick waterproof rubber coating, solved the problems of discomfort for life! Now I can lie and ponder what my next invention could be whilst watching the irredescent colours of the bubbles from the bubblebath float around the room.
