I've had one or two near misses, but I'm still here. Yay!

I'm doing alright, Mick. I had a big birthday a while back and I
am now eligible for a 60+ London Oyster photocard - free travel on
the buses, tube and DLR. Yippeeee! I try to avoid public transport
though as I'm fed up with pregnant ladies offering me their seats.
My youngest daughter has just had another baby, so that's five
grandkids I have now and my missus has put in for early retirement
so that we can move out of London. Hopefully not to a retirement
village by the sea.
How are you doing, Mick?

60s not big Steve. Believe me ;-)

Hi there, good to see (read) you. My only forays into public transport
are occasional joyrides on the railways. I lost faith in buses when, with
my knee at its height of not-walking-very-farness, I waited three hours
for a bus that never came and had to get a taxi home at a cost of 25 of
your English pounds. Bummer.

Five grandkids seems far too many to me but from what I've seen, you
grandparent types seem to love the idea. So congrats. Not that you did
anything.

How am I? You've probably read that I had a new knee fitted last year so
in many respects I'm way better than I was. I was horrified to learn from
my GP that asbestos *had* got me after all, but it's not going to kill
me, just slow me down a bit.

Other than that life, goes on. We moved 4.5 years ago into a bungalow
that needed 'doing' 100%. Figured it would take me a couple of years. And
I'm still at it. Didn't expect the knee to go as bad, as quickly as it
did. But I'm down to just the one bedroom left to makeover and there's no
panic on that. Or so I'm told. ;-)

I'm still cleaning windows and riding my motorbike, but not at the same
time.

If (when?) you move out of London, you should try Hampshire. Some nice
pubs down here and a couple of old farts to get pissed with.

That was neat

Reminds me of my mom, also a geezer

She said to me on leaving that I should have been a doctor

That was in response to the constipation advice

Then she said something

Ти могла бути тим що хотіла бути

Then she asked me what I really wanted to be

I said a bookie

Which is kinda true

I can text/plain but I can't do that.
