Well boyz n gurls, somehow we have arrived at 73 years bloody young!! :bugga:

How the hell has that happened??  So many of pals & acquaintances has passed, I feel well blessed, no illnesses or defects to speak of, many busted bones over the years, & I've been on hearing-aids for the last year, ( aren't  they are wonderful  ) going on 20 st, but not overweight you understand, just 2ft too short, & if that hole in the front of my face healed-up, I be all slim again!!
Recently put a new 80mm insulated roof on the portacabin by myself, that was fun!

The boss & I  go to the the gym 4 times a week & we feel better for it, keeping really busy in retirement & not enough hours in the days, doing all sorts of stuff & loving it.
Re the 73 bit above, I NEVER grew up & still act the twat all the time. :boogie:
I DO have to grow old, I DO NOT have to grow up.

I think that's the secret, keep yourself busy in what interests you & bit of regular exercise.  :cheers:

Keep doing what your doing mate & Never grow up (that's for boring Old farts)
The quality of restoration work you pump out is amazing & would put any youngster to shame  :onya: :clapping:

The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

@lawrie I was told if you haven't grown up by the time your 50 you don't have to  :whistling:
So you are living life to the full and not worrying about the number .
Hope you have many more years you are an example to us all.
Hope your family gave you a big party and you have a great time .
