    As I sit here on Thursday 5th December 2024 I realise I am now 66 and 3/365 years old. The quiet of the room listening to the clock tick away second by second makes me realise how precious time really is and how fast it’s going!

    And my 3/365 of another year of my life is probably wrong. I wasn’t really that good at fractions at school, although algebra really screwed me up….I mean …a+b=c, find the value of a…..who cares!…. Apart from helping me getting Maths ‘O’ level in 1975, I cannot recall a time when I have ever since pondered the value of ‘a’, in Mathematics terms!

  • It’s the arrival!

    It’s here…just what I’ve been waiting for!…I’m 66 years old….which means in the UK I’m classed as an ‘Old Age Pensioner ‘

    Now I’m not one to shirk my new found era nor my responsibilities. As a child and through my younger growing up years to teenageship, the ‘older’ folk around me, retired neighbours and older family relations looked..well…really old.

    I’m not one to be at all trendy nor have the stature or complexion of a younger person but remembering back to folk of my age now when I was younger..wow…they just looked so old, craggy looking and down beat. Is that due to the pressures of those days, lack of choice against today’s availability of better products and choice to help us think, feel and be younger in our daily outlook?

    I say this as I don’t think I’m that really old craggy looking down beat person that I saw in older folk when I was younger.

    Or could it be that time just seems to fly by so much as each year really seems to have speeded up it’s overtaken my true age and I’m only really 50, as I sure don’t feel 66, yet!

  • December birthday… pah

    It’s my parents fault!…. Why so close to Christmas?…. It’s like having two birthdays in one month then nothing through the rest of the year. Not that I ever expect anything in my life, yet my bro n sis have their birthdays in the Summer months! Although must say I guess it’s probably worse for a birthday on 25th December or even 29th February or even 1st April, so I just be thankful and greatful for being here in the first place to experience my journey on ‘my’ conveyor belt of life!
