It seems we're not getting any changes on AB 'til after xmas so I've set up a grotto for us. Sorry it's a bit like a scene from Great Expectations but I've sprayed a few cobwebs silver & blown the dust off me doileys so please come in & sit down.
What do all the biddies/grumps want to find in their wrinkly stockings this year then? Do you like all this festivity or will you be the grumpy gran/grandpa from hell this year?
Please feel free to take a present out of the bran tub as you leave by the way. Contents may be unidentifiable....oops sorry...be varied.

Now this really did bring back memories - Just found the advert for Murray Mints. Cliff Adams, the jingle composer, was my uncle and he wrote 99% of all the early TV advertising jingles as well as forming The Stargazers and then Sing Something Simple with the Cliff Adams' Singers. He was the one and only millionnaire in our family - a lovely man. Died several years ago now.

my, it said in the paper this morning there will be a million centenarians in Japan in 2050. I'd join them, but I suppose it means living in Tokyo, on raw fish and threatened whales. Also, they have a Respect for the Aged Day, a national holiday on the third Monday in September. That sounds only fair.

I am now forcing myself to go and get some breakfast. Yes, I know, it's nearly midday, but it's taken this long to summons up the energy.

[netibiza]

Oh for goodness sake, it was a lovely piccy of a broken chair. My life is full of gremlins. I blame the war.

[netibiza]

The above mistakes are a good example of why we should be able to cancel our own postings (Ed take note)
