JockoT's Journal, 03 Jul 18

Woke up this morning as a 70 year old and I must say, apart from the stiff knees, I feel no different from how I did at 40. I still have the same outlook on life, the same sense of humour, the same love of loud music, the same fancy for the ladies, and the same sense of fun.
I enjoy my video games, driving, playing guitar, drinking, nice food, and getting out and about. The benefit is, now I am retired, I have more time to enjoy all these pastimes.
I remember, back in the very early 1970’s, when the DVLA took over the issuing of driving licences, I received my first driving licence that expired on 03/07/2018 (prior to then the local administration issued 3 year licences – the little red book). When I saw that expiry date it was just that. A meaningless date, so far into the future it was of no significance. It is not such a meaningless date now!
Just the free TV licence at 75 to look forward to now.

Happy Birthday to you!! You have a great attitude matey, and I can really understand how a date in the next millennium would seem almost fantasy. Now you are living that fantasy. I hope your day is wonderful. xXx

Happy birthday Jocko, I'm the same as I was at 21, except for the knees . . .

Thanks, everyone. The benefits of getting older are at 21 you fancy every woman from 16 to 25. At 70 you fancy every woman from 16 to 75!

Happy Birthday - and don't forget the extra 25p pension when you hit 80.

I know what you mean about the driving licence. I need to renew mine next year. When I got it it seemed like the date was eons away. Not so now. I still feel young, fit and active. Long may we both feel like that.

When I renewed my driving licence, I took a two hour driver assessment with a local driving school. I had always promised myself I would do that, to confirm I still "had it". I passed with flying colours. The instructor said it was a relaxing and enjoyable interlude to his day.

That's great news about your driving, Jocko. I take it there will be a few drams consumed this evening?

I haven't had a whisky in the house for months, but I was given a malt as a present. It would be ungrateful not to open it!

Enjoy Jocko 🥃😉

Just noticed that the small print on my whisky says "Suitable for Vegetarians". Does this mean it counts as one of my five a day?
