My hearing is excellent, I have all my own teeth, my glasses aren’t a problem, my mind is still pretty alert. And I’ve climbed two of the Mourne Mountains this year. What’s this old age everyone keeps talking about?
Here’s a little more on my plundering and pillage plans…
Steph ~ you go look and bring me back a trophy Sea Stallion! 🙄
Nick ~ Just you wait….!
Inside many older persons are knees wondering what the heck happened.
I know mine are, jogging is not possible, but the bike gets dusted down every so often.
Oh, and Steph. Say hello to the Viking toyboys for me. I probably know some of the pillagers
Will
My knees turned into my grandmothers, my hips will not allow me cycle, so I need badges to attract the Toyboys! 🙄
I hope Steph brings me back a Viking! 😉
I’m back with a passion.
Sorry for the delay GM but the JCB got clamped in O’Connell street and seeing as we didn’t win he lotto plan C will have to come into operation.
Got a bit sidetracked last night at a headbanging party..on my kneed giving it loads of fresh air guitar.
Hang on I see loads of ships on the horizon…jaysus its a viking invasion. Hang on I’ll get my very bi-focal binoculars (in keeping with todays serious theme)
There a woman at the helm…I’ve seen that face before
Run up the white flag GM were surrendering!
How did you manage to untie yourself?
hehehe of all the things iv ever lost I miss my mind the most 🙂
No idea – but I could have written it – except for the dentures.
From the book, A Gentleman Publisher’s Commonplace Book, which includes that quote, here’s some more…
A journalist from a smart American magazine interviewing Elizabeth Longford: `And in your long married life, Lady Longford, have you ever contemplated divorce?’ Elizabeth Longford: `Murder often, divorce never.’

Mike ~ You need to control your passions! 🙄
Lette ~ Losing one’s mind selectively at times is not a bad thing.
Judy ~ Hang on to those teeth!
Dave ~ Thanks for the answer and all the further info.
So true! Now where have I left my cup of tea? Did I even make tea? Perhaps it was coffee…. Who’s blog am I on???? Do you serve tea?
Geri
Tea, what tea? I poured whisky!
What’s a blog?
Some thing funny has happened…I wa ssure the title today was Another Sunset now it’s Sunset of Life
I reckon I’m around mid afternoon meself 75% gone..in more ways than one.
Inside this old chap’s a twenty year old still looking/searching… all I can find is a bit of a spare tyre.
How about this poor guy?
A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, “I must have taken Leif off my census.”
Steph
That sounds like a wonderful day. The photos are fab!
Hugs to Jaimie.
Nancy
That is a good one!
Bring Back Brian Boru I say
Anyway back to the football
Mike do you remember Brian Boru? I didn’t think you were that old 🙄
Thanks, GM
Yeah, it was a good day alright.
We had a fantastic sail followed by (a liquid) lunch behind the island, watching the thousands of nesting sea birds.
A day to treasure, for sure.
Ah but young at heart
Mike
Being ‘young’ at heart is the important bit!
and forever young at heart GM
I hope the postman comes today…wonder what he will bring/
Mike are you expecting a letter?
Hope so
Got some pollish also to shine up something
Mike
Did you get new shoes?
GM
eh not that I know of…. must be for something else
Any ideas?
No idea. Then again I lost my marbles years ago.
Eh? What was that, Grannymar… can’t hear you
Ah! Now I’ve found my glasses, I can see
Lovely photo, GM
What did you say you’d lost? 😉
Primal ~ I hope you didn’t leave the marbles where I will fall over them!
Steph ~ I thought you would be in bed all day today after all that exercise and excitement yesterday. 🙄
I’m taking to the water today, GM…
going to meet the Vikings in Dublin Bay.
I’ll see if I can bring you back a Norse Toyboy!
