Fascinating posts everone ..words can be powerful for the good. Lovely poem granny. Sorry about your failing lungs chris...must be scary at times. My present end of life plan is just to leave one skipful of junk for wife and kids to throw. I suppose following on from cost of funerals posts not to be a financial burden to family come the day.

An interesting post Fish, it is always good to find that other people have the same thoughts as myself on our mortality. I am of an age where it is doubtful if I have many years left but I decide from time to time to have a sort out of my affairs only to find later that I haven't got round to it yet. Maybe I should write a note to my family apologising for anything I have not done - in anticipation of my going before I get everything sorted out. Thanks for the poem posted by Granny it was very evocative, I have retraced the steps I took with my children then with my grandchildren and now I am taking out my great gandkids to the same places

I just check the obituaries in the Globe and if I'm not in them I go out for a pint.
Just enjoy life and get the most out of it you can, you only get one go at it. Hang on in there Chris, see you at the next meet.
I'm 73 today so I do know a bit about knocking on. Roll on.

This has cheered us up a bit.

Happy Birthday Bandy, with best wishes for a great year ahead.
