What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Relatives have just left

What a Christmas and New Year - I hope yours was as good as mine.

Okay, hope yours was better, as "relaxing" is not a word to describe mine. my descriptions would be "host", "driver", "cook", "entertainer", "game inventor" etc, etc.

Anyway, Saturday was a free day so started with a coffee, please don't mind my 2 months of leg hair growth 😒


After coffee and before the day got to hot for wigs (muggy 31 degrees), I decided to visit the beach and catch a few sun rays.


Once home, wife was getting out of bed and inspecting the garden that hadn't been worked on for a bit, passing instructions on what I needed to do (bit of lawn edging, a bit of digging etc). Eventually I had to do a bit of watering. I love watering, but so often I get soaked, and in this heat, who doesn't like that.
