THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY.

I find it hard to believe that today (December 30th) marks my being on this earth for three quarters of a century.

I have had a lovely quiet day.  Still a bit under the weather and didn't feel like going out for a meal.  We started the day watering the garden as we didn't get the forecast showers yesterday.  I also picked a few beans, cucumbers and a courgette plus some flowers for a vase I arranged yesterday,


The yellow beans have been doing well for a while and the others are just starting so there should be plenty for some time to come.

I have had a lovely day - a lot of it spent talking on the phone I had a long conversation with a cousin from the Welsh Borders as well as former workmates going  back 50 years.  I have also had lots of emails and cards.

    Happy 75 years, I am 72 and also find it hard to believe that I am that age. Mentally I am still dashing about until I actually try to, lol
    Still I look around at others and think myself lucky.
    Hope you soon feel your old self again.
