Time flies, and it flies so quickly there is hardly a chance to take a breath and reflect on what has happened. So it is now live a shared life with my beautiful wife Sparkling, perhaps she knew all along I was meant to and it has been near on 4 years of bliss. Mind we did have 20 odd years of an in-between not knowing what, where or when. The years have rolled on and this year I'll reach another significant birthday.
My job has changed and is like all jobs nowadays, very, very demanding. Sparkling says I should just retire and take it easy. We can survive, just about I would add. With the cost of living crisis and the absolute drain flush of successive Tory governments Britain marches on to a land of poverty where only the very wealthy matter. Moving way off subject it is a beautiful day. I stare out the window and see the morning sun on my neighbour's tree while birds flitter from branch to branch, in a casual just woken up mood. The moment before your first coffee is devoured and caffeine hasn't kicked in.
My wife laughs a me a lot. It seems to be something to do with the way I react to things. It's not always intentional, infact most of the time it's not intentional. But she finds me entertaining. Maybe she'll keep me around for the fun factor. I'm getting fat, and fatter with each year and don't like the effect it is having on my health or ability to move around. I want to feel healthier, be able to run to the bus stop if I'm a little late. When I get a chance I do run about, or walk. But it has to be in the nature of what I'm doing. Maybe the problem is I like food but my metabolism doesn't burn up the calories fast enough. If it did I'd be skinny and could even eat more. Things are so different. I have responsibilities. I'm a Pops to the most beautiful of grandchildren. And I always loose at football. And practically any other game I play. They like to pick on me my grandchildren. Squirt water from water pistols, give me a bash once in a while, make me pay for their sweet supplies from the shop. I suppose it is good to have a use, or be used, and be very happy about it.
