2 BIG birthdays for us this week.

The aunty turned 95 on Wednesday while a long term family friend turned 100 yesterday.
Strange isn't it...... no body (normally) wants to pop their clogs but I am not sure I want to reach even 95 never mind 100 with all the relative health problems.

My Uncle was 89, approaching his 90th, wanted to celebrate with a "do". He booked a local pub (The Stanley) and invited all his nephews and nieces, cousins and neighbours and paid for overnight accommodation for us traveling up from Kent. But on the morning of the party, we got a call that he had been admitted to hospital. We found out later that his medicines had caused a bleed in his stomach.

Anyway, he told everybody to carry on and meet as planned. So we all had a very good time, but poor Arthur spent the time in Whiston Hospital.

He recovered and lived another happy 5 years, but the deteriation towards the end was pretty rapid.

Congratulations to your aunty and the family friend .

I can always remember that I use to say I didn't want to be old or get to 50 when I was a child now I would love to be 50 again
