I’m extremely proud to proclaim that, in my Grandchildren’s house anyway, I am now the undisputed World Champion Javelin and Discus Thrower.
Fair enough, it’s on X-Box, but a Champion is a Champion no matter what way you look at it!

Also, I’m a pretty good handler of both Sonic Racing and Mario Karts on the WII [...]

The one thing which really came over to me on whilst on my John O’Groats to Lands End Cycle Ride was that there are so many retired and ‘more senior people’ getting on tgheir bikes and enjoying life to the full.
Our culture seems to be changing, maybe it’s modern medicine keeping us going longer than [...]

I may have mentioned this before, but some while ago I was browsing around a local Book Shop and I noticed the book entitled ‘PC’s for Seniors’.
I thought that sounded interesting and upon opening a few pages expecting to find some variations on ways to look at PC problems, found it to be no more [...]

The photograph on the right is my serious look. Why? well, because I’m obiovuly doing something wrong.
In the last six months, three people have guessed my age at being over 70, I know, hard to believe isn’t it!
The first was when we entertained the Pakistan Cricket Team at Canterbury last year. In my job as [...]

You know how it is, you’ve worked umpteen weeks at break neck speed and at long last get a few days off where you can go to visit the family and do your own thing a bit.
Having family who live very close to Southampton, I thought I would reserve a day for just having a [...]

Before I carry on I should say that being a Senior isn’t always much fun. In the last two month’s I have been asked by the girl in the Optician if I was over 70 and whilst having a tour of Dover Castle War Tunnels, the Guide picked me out from 30 people and asked [...]

and how I can’t master it!

They said that the new Digital TV System is great, it will revolutionise home entertainment and take us firmly into the 21st. Century.
Well I have to say that much of that statement is true; we have a huge range of Channels to choose from, far better pictures, better sound, the [...]

The inevitability of getting older

It’s my birthday today. It’s that day of the year when the figure on the right hand side of your age increases by one and you have to scroll further up the online registration for something or other to find your birth year.
It’s also a day when you get the inevitable [...]

With the Cricket Season over, I haven’t a friendly Groundsman around to cut my hair for me through the winter months. In Summer, it’s a quick stroll up to the Lawn Mower Shed and either Simon or someone else has an electric Hair Shaver.

Above - nearly 50 years of degeneration !
I had to go down [...]

The Lane in which I live is in an area known as ‘Lightning Valley’. Apparently, from the whole area, we get hit the most and also get the most amount of Power Cuts.

Last Thursday I was happily sitting in my Shed Office doing some Website work and I could sense and hear a rather spectacular [...]
