I grew up with those too, but from 1961 when we got our first television :grin: I had a fright a while ago as on a programme called 'Windmill' (I think) a few years ago, there were apparently 33 episodes filmed which were shown 33 times. They showed a clip 'of the remaining ones...' Who's nicked or destroyed the others then????? Bloody BBC, used to be full of self-important tw@ts who were a law unto themselves I remember :(

Why is age such a problem for us. Up to 20 we look forward to each new decade, from 30 onward it just seems to give us negative thoughts. Take note, of course there are negatives, but we also don't seem to recognise the positives - WE CHANGE!

I am two years and four months off my 7th decade, and looking forward to it.

Though I have written on the subject through my Qigong teaching so perhaps I take a different view of it to most.

So much more to do. Can't say I'd be any different if I lived my life over again as I know I'd make the same mistakes all over again. It's bad enough now, trying to put wrongs right and getting it wrong all over again :(

According to the Navajo, you only start to enjoy and appreciate life when you're 80. Keep on going, Doc!

When the business it set up to run itself it is easy, all I have to do is build stuff which I enjoy. It is self financing.

I am having a bad time of it at the moment because I decided to move - never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
