Had a great day today , until 20 minutes ago. Had a call from a mates wife to let me know he died this morning.
Not sure what to think , he just wished me happy birthday last night . We knew each other since our late teens , and served together.

Really sorry to hear that Marty, you've got enough going on already...

Thanks deeknow ...... not sure how i feel to be honest . Makes you think .... here today .....
But , yes it was nice that we were i touch .

Its a sobering thought, that after each of my Birthdays, more and more of my old workmates and school chums which I fondly remember, are passing away year by year.
My old World from my past is slowly disappearing around me, leaving me behind!

...its getting lonelier!

"its getting lonelier!" it is , thats 3 this year .... but the "pin" moves on .

I don't dwell into it, spose its handy to close myself away, .. Memory and dedications are the better part, ..... strange I had more feeling for an animal than any human, guess its real life , may sound cold , but I turn it around and biggest thing is I can follow and remember the names in my brain case, they will never get forgotten.

You dont sound cold at all Ian ....Ive had a day of memories and lots of laughs , Im pretty sure Charlie was around enjoying it as well , in fact Im sure he was.
Hes in good hands now , but Im going to miss him.

Look at it this way, your memorial posting can never go away .. Charlie , from me from Marty .. Your in the electronic ears forever.

Do you know what!.... .....

Its a fantastic, mid-September day, with a clear blue sky, and a lovely warm Sun beaming down on me, and as I rode to Sainsbury's Supermarket on my trusty motor-bike to get some tasty food-shopping for Dinner, with a massive grin beaming from ear to ear, and everyone who saw me, and caught my eye, smiled back at me with an equally big smile!

"Smiling" is catching!.... ...!

A truly wonderful feeling, and a wonderful day to be alive!... ...!

Paul.... ...!

P.S...my glass (or three) of Cabernet Sauvignon is making my grin even wider!.... ...!
