If we could choose to knock a few years off the age we are now  - would you?

How many years would you choose to go back,  when do you think you were at your prime,  or perhaps had the most fun?

I would be happy to go back even 10 years,  as then I didn't have all the aches and pains I've acquired lately!

If you could go back again,  would you do anything differently? 
 I am not sure I would change much, because I believe the choices we made, created lessons to learn from.

Hah.      But you've just given me an idea  . . . .

I haven't done that as when the next one came up the doctors had started taking blood again. The trouble with that is they don't get nearly as much practice as the hospital and you can sometimes end up with it being painful later. At least mine was.

Years ago, after the GP's stopped taking blood,  we got sent to a clinic in town,  but ages ago  even that stopped doing it too.   
So then we got sent to Isebrook hospital at Wellingborough,  or KGH even.
It's Isebrook that can't fit me in until early August,  but Nene Park  (Irthlingborough),   was not until late August.
I think its terrible now.

I tend to agree Granny,   55 is no great age nowadays is it.  

Morning Scrumps,  it's raining here too.  

GP wants me to have some blood tests.   Just tried to book,  and they can't do them until August!!!
Isn't it a disgrace nowadays.

It is raining .. Just thought I would say..

My favourite flower (vase) is a pineapple jam jar..
Many, many years ago an elderly lady neighbour died.. and in her junk shed was this jam jar..
It must have been sold in its thousands way back.. Embossed pineapple markings..
 Just an old jam jar with daises sitting inside looks so pretty.. And my old neighbour Peggy comes to mind..
