I've got cows close by, which normally brings out the little perishers, but not so far!

I remember a similar thing with at least one organisation when I was sorting out my Dad's accounts after his death, years ago. It was blatantly obvious that they were just following a script which had no option for "account holder is dead". At the time it upset and enraged me, and I may have spoken harshly to the apparatchik on the other end of the line...... And of course, my condolences too, Peter. |

Just seen your sad news, Peter, I hope Mum had reached a ripe old age, I will pray for you both.
Kind regards, Bob. |

Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts. She passed on Monday evening, after a long illness, so it was probably for the best. She made it to 90 years; not a bad race even if the last few laps were difficult.

Had somewhat mixed feelings this week as it was announced in the Times that 74 is now the age at which one is regarded as "old" - much later than was the case when I was a lad, of course - and it means that I'm not "old"....at least for almost another 5 months...........
Then today it was stated that as IQ has been increasing steadily over the last decades, although apparently the rate of increase has reduced lately for the younger generations. Whether this is because of the reliance on the ubiquitous smartphones, I couldn't possibly comment Anyway, off to Oulton tomorrow, where Paul D of this parish has apparently achieved a late entry - because a lot of CSCC regulars are at Spa, a few of the races are a little undersubscribed - although Swinging Sixties is full with reserves.......... Fingers crossed it'll stay dry. |

I'm not that far behind you but don't feel old yet - or at least I didn't until another customer stepped forward to pick something up for me in the supermarket the other day! |
