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.

Just caught up Lady V and I'm not surprised your Pa is who he is because of who you are. Genetics are great but having a role model like Pa is huge and a real gift.
Just a quick post to say 2016 will be Vs year A new year and a new life
Your exercise program is a reminder for me. I have been stalling and putting off my exercise time. I will put my exercise clothes on this morning and see what happens. I am off this week. Thanks for the reminder
You have already come so far! 2016 is the year things get sorted out. We are starting this year free of abuse.
Exercise is a wonderful way to channel stress and anxiety. Good for you!

V, I love hearing about your family. You come from good people. No surprise!!! Stick with the exercise! It will change your life physically and mentally. There is no doubt you already know this as you are diligent when it comes to research. Glad to see your spirit has been up lately.

This one is one of my favourites and says what I shall be doing starting next year.
Wawning by Jenny Joseph
WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
---------------------------------- One thing you don't know about me is that I write stories and poetry, although WH didn't like it. Sometime I will post poem of my own.
In the meanwhile the above is my new years resolution.
One day at a time

I hope the tax numbers add up in your favor V.
We have to do more than just put the clothes on Mutatio!
