I made it, now a pensioner, bus pass state pension all mine.... All those years of paying National Insurance I get my rewards, not a benefit as some say, they are mine I did pay for them..... Time to sit back relax chill nah...... All those years being able but not able to afford it now find I'm not able but can afford it..... Remember life is as it is, not in any particular order, things come and go and pass you by, you just have to savour the moment you don't always get a 2nd chance....
Thankyou to those that found the time to say Happy Birthday, and thankyou to those that sang Happy birthday while at the Panto on Saturday.....
Memories, arn't they an odd thing, over the years people have come and gone but some stick in your mind, with me its my first Dr. Dr Richards I rememember him as he first started as a doctor, still when i book an appointment for the Dr. I will ask for Dr Richards. Wonder where he is now.....
What are your first memories. I can remember my Nan taking me to see the Queen as she passed by and also the London smogs, not being able to see across the road. At least we dont have those any more.
The brain is an amazing thing just how does it do it..... I always thing its so sad that one day all those memories are lost or are they loaded into the cloud for maybe someone else.....
To all those that have been part of my life or touched my life I would says thanks, with your help the map of life has got me here and who knows where next...... More sun sea sangria I hope.
Ok.... Now for the next 65

So to end a little verse..... Hope you all reach 65 with just a little of the luck I had.
My forgetter's getting better But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke.
For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering If I really should be 'there' And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer!
Often times I walk into a room, Say "what am I here for?" I wrack my brain, but all in vain A zero, is my score.
At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone, Say "Hi" and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, "who was that?"
Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke.
