Thank you Mahhty, it really is true that some things are meant to be. WhyUs I will check in on you and your Xmas, back to work today and my new regime for exercise PP. I have my 10 days of New York.

Looks like Aged Pa has hit a chord with everyone on the board, he truly is a loving man. He had two younger brothers and they were very alike and all happily married. Aged Pa was the oldest and very influential in his family, of the three couples, my mum and dad survive. Fav cousin still visits and youngest cousin visits pa regularly and they go for a 'beer' although pa only drinks shandy these days. Glam sis visits twice a week and clever nephew when he can. They are much loved.

My life was filled with loving men, pa, grandpa G and grandpa S and uncles and two cousins. All of them mechanical engineers. Clever nephew is also at uni studying engineering. We are all very pale and blonde!

Crazy loco.

PP aged pa was stationed in Malta during the war and was on a boat that was bombed, he survived by wriggling through a port hole. One day when clever nephew was young, aged pa and nephew were in a paddling pool making wet bum print patterns on the patio.

Julie I wish you could see how aged pa is so tender with ma, taking her to the toilet and showering her. She forgets today but remembers days gone by, in vivid detail. She loves chocolate and pudding, especially chocolate pudding.
