Interestingly I cannot remember the date I go married to the ex wife.  I know it was May 88. But I cannot remember the date.

It was on the inside of my wedding ring, but I have given that to my eldest , so no chance now - not that I want to remember it anyway.

Congrats, Phil ..... to Von for putting up with you for so long :P

Seriously, congratulations to you both and here's to many more.

My almost-ex and I only managed 25 years.

Congratulations Phil and Von.  =D> =D> =D> <:-P

Whilst writing up into a 2022 diary yesterday, it was pointed out to me that it's our 38th anniversary in January, how does that happen???

Thanks again, chums.... :)

Where DOES the sodding time go ? ;D

We don't have many photo's of ourselves, around the home. Cats, dogs and gee-gees....dozens of them. ;D

There's one of the wedding photo's, where I look like I'm  around fourteen.

Both of us have favourite photo's (separate) with the superstar,
Red Rum.

I feel VERY old today.

Cheers - The Ancient One.

When your young time seems to drag and you cant wait to get older, suddenly you are an adult.
Then your on a downward rollercoaster going faster and faster as there are no breaks you can apply. So:-

HANG ON AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

You don't know when its going to end so make the most of it.

Today I learned that there were no tanks, radios, or amphibious landing formations at Balaclava.

Imagine how those would have improved matters.

Who's that at the back of the Russians ... could that be a nun? ... or is it just a lady wearing a tea towel?

The tea towel ?

Is Lord Voldemort hiding under that ?

I think we should be told.
