Ed's wife thought, Oh heck what now?!"
But Ed overheard and they had a big row
Why's he coming round while I'm not here
To me that sounds really queer

I can't pick a specific time, lots of highs and lows over the decades.  Lots of joy with young grandchildren in my 60s, and retirement brings its own rewards.  Happy to take each day at a time now, still active, and still here!

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 03:34:58 PMI'd go back to my 40s, I was fit as a fiddle no knee problems and no heart problems. Still married but kind of leading my own life most of the time, he was working shifts driving buses so hardly ever home. I was working part time, looking after the house, and had 2 Old English Sheepdogs that took up a good bit of my time, I was teaching 8 classes a week of Line dancing in the evenings, and on a Saturday Night several of us went to a Linedance with a live band, usually Dundee, Edinburgh, or Glasgow very occasionally there was one in Perth. AND, AND, I still had my Raven Hair, lots of it, much thicker back then, it broke my heart when I went platinum.
It was a good time and I enjoyed it.  :busted:



Great action shot there, Raven!

I was happiest when my children were small and we lived right near a beach in Borneo .
We used to go down to the sea on Sundays and barbecue it was lovely .

An accident with a Mandoline Slicer. !!!

Dangerous things .. I would be to scared to use them..
A good old fashioned  (cheese) grater/ slicer for me ..
 

It was Scrumps, I've lost part of my nail so looks awful.  The thing went in the bin, I'll stick to a knife and cheese grater in future. :grin:

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 06:46:19 PMWhat do GP surgeries actually do these days, anyone know  ?  no blood tests, no foot care, no ear syringing etc.. most appointments seem to be with nurse practitioners or physios or you're fobbed off to a pharmacist.  :cowboy:
I do so agree with you, Alex.
Even worse,  ENT said they can't see me till around June  2027!!

I told my GP just this morning,   that this is why nothing ever gets diagnosed and sorted.  
It's quicker for them just to write you a prescription and send you packing within your ten minutes.
