Just back from great Aunt Sylvias 103rd Birthday Party. Lots of the extended family there plus a few of her co stars from the programme. Apparently the children now come once a month for visits, and the Christmas programme has already been filmed. Channel 4 sent her some huge balloons in the shape of the 103. We had quite a lot of jokes about their next reality TV series. Sylvia thought she would not like the food in the Jungle, but several were up for a Pensioners Love Island, so long as it is in a nice warm place. One of the men was chatting with my Aunty Shirley. As he said, its a Retirement village, not an old peoples home. Life in the old dogs yet.
How wonderful to hear of auntie Sylvia’s birthday celebrations @fidgetbones - she’s got a fabulous attitude. I know my 4yr old granddaughter always perks me up. Little ones are so innocent and unaware of life’s ups and downs.
That's great, Fidget. Perhaps it's not so bad being over 28...
@Pat E when you look in - I've put some Madeira pics on the "Jigsaw Planet" site. And - for anyone who might be interested - lots of photos on the "Camera Talk" thread here.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Have woken up with a bit of a sore throat and the first signs of a blocked nose, so am going to give First Defence a go. Busy couple of weeks ahead, and I could do without a cold 😳
Chicklet’s now back at Uni, leaving a few cupcakes 🧁 to remind us she was here 😋
