Its actually fascinating seeing how sharp in the mind some of these 90 plus and centenerians are .. the body may be going south and giving up .. i watched a bit of an interview of an old afrikaans lady who started a  girls school   yonks ago .. and now they were honouring her ..   wheelchaorbound made no difs to her  sharp articulate , bright .. of  course my   all time favourite  is the old queen Mum ..  all those gins and her homeopathic  medicine kit  did the trick , and of course her zest for life ..   she  made 101 and outlived poor  princess Margaret .. but  then Margaret  hammered herself compensating for her lost love by aprtying excessiviely ...  and yes i remember Flo and Sid  their 50th anniversary  .. got a pic of the two together  .. of course we had the Rabbit in the hat .. John had amongst his Royal doulton samples a  4 piece tea set  with gold edging and   50  on it in gold as well ..  that  was a treat ...

Of course Rhona. You're right. That's realy wonderfull. Pity only a few get tha far. I go devorced afer 7 or 8 years. Would've been married for 22 years this year already. But this way it's better. Got the right woman on my side now. If I had stayed together wih myfirst wife, one of us would be in jail by now...  image21

Something nice .. In the papers  .. the  guy  who  won the  St Lukes Million rand  draw  has asked to remain anonomous and has  donated  his  entire  winnings  back to St Lukes  .. Ok  either he  has a  very good  heart  or  he is   very wealthy  or a combination of the  two .. who  cares ?/ St Lukes  does  sterling  work  caring for the  terminally  ill ..
