At 83 it is starting to feel like my life is on a old fashioned 8mm recording tape on a loop . I’m sitting up in bed writing this and thinking was I really a Curley haired little boy once in a totally different world? On Sunday Christmas Day most of our family will be here to celebrate which is always wonderful. From grandchildren Maisie Mark and a young giant Harry aged 2-14-and 23 respectively .Also sons and daughters wives and me at 83. Mind you it ain’t over yet I have far too much to do before the fat lady sings. Just started writing a book of short stories to be published in 2023 , there are paintings to do ,songs to write , places to travel to and so much more. So to all of you keep on trucking and have a lovely Christmas.Klaas
