The excitement of old age

Here is a hurtful reminder of the passage of time. Courtesy of same daughter.   Not sure what I've done to deserve all this.

    That did make me laugh, but I hope they were all OK.

    I saw that on FB and was just waiting for it all to go wrong! A bit risky...

      It had to go wrong, didn't it? But at least they had a go!

    You learn as long as you live. (Swedish proverb.) Or perhaps not?? Ouch!

      I wonder whether it was a bet? Or a sponsored something in aid of a very good cause?

    I'm wondering why they thought it might be a good idea.

    I suppose the see-saw was there, like Everest. But you wouldn't catch me doing that, Patsy.

    Facebook tells me it's your birthday today, so I hope you are having a good one. Missing your posts too. Hope all is well.

      Silly me, it did say tomorrow, which means I'm in time to wish you a very happy birthday all over again.

    "But you wouldn't catch me doing that, Patsy." But you ride a horse!
    On a separate issue I didn't think of you as a Facebook person although I have no idea why I thought that.

      Graham, I'm a Facebook Troll; not the same thing at all. I actually dislike FB, but it's good for keeping an eye on my family. I wouldn't have had you down as one, either!
