Good Day

Whilst I might not have 'bounced' out of bed I felt good, despite the weather.

The day was full of good intentions;
Cut down on the coffee - Three cups before 08:00
Nothing from the hot plate - Steak pie for lunch
Leave work at 3:30pm - Left at 3:45pm
Two and a half hour run at the gym - No run at all

But I did go to visit a good friend; Ted Turvey is 95 Years Old today, a remarkable man. He and I are the only two General Service Engineers in the Falmouth Branch The Royal Naval Association. He was a Mechanician, I an Artificer, he served twenty two years, from 1935 to 1957, a career that saw him serve on a variety of ships. Ted's age might mean his sight is failing and he has trouble getting around but he is as sharp as a razor. As he said; "It's me hair thats gone, not me marbles". Two hours in his company sharing a glass or two of something was an absolute pleasure.
