Thing is there are all sorts of ‘gluttony’. In our case it’s that we are gluttons for punishment… or it seems so. Take today for example. The wife and I were up at 5:00 and can look forward to a day of work. The wife earning a crust… me trying to spend it and keep … More Days of our lives.
There are times I seriously worry myself and what’ll become of me cos the mind is slowly disappearing… drip… drip… drip. 🙂 My mother is an example of what old age might be like for me… ok… older age but I think I’m on my way there at some speed!

In addition nobody from the family was at the wife’s MBA Graduation Ceremony to watch her get her degree because the kids were in school… and I was taking the oldies to the … More Yet another 'one of those days'.

It was 40 years ago today… and inevitable that when the anniversary of its release should come around that renewed interest should be raised about The Beatles eighth and possibly best known album. It contains a mass of well played and well loved songs ranging from the haunting “She’s leaving Home” to the weird, wonderful … More It was 40 years ago today…
Not a lot to say today or yesterday… oldies are leaving this morning… busy… back later 🙂
