… you forget things! In the early hours of today, I was tidying up the flat (I don’t know why at such a time) when I glanced at my birthday cards which are still up and noticed that I hadn’t received one from the mother-in-law. I thought to myself, ‘it’s not like her to forget…
Well, now that my ‘birth’ day has come to an end, I plan to do the following 3 things today: 1. get up 2. survive 3. go back to bed A sincere ‘thank you‘ to all my friends and family, who wished me well. Looking to the year ahead, I will strive to continue being…
… Well, that’s what Facebook tells me anyway – so it must be true! Happy Birthday to me then. I’m another year older, and ‘maybe’ wiser! All offers of birthday cake(s), kindly accepted and appreciated, thanks. Right, I’m off to the pub then! Ciao, Max x My ‘View from the Bottom’ Live Healthy, Laugh Often,…
Tomorrow, I turn another year older – although, I’m not sure another year wiser! Having just found a ‘further’ grey hair on my head (as opposed to anywhere else on my body), I soon may end up needing more of the ‘precious’ stuff, than I like to think! Enjoy the photo, Max. ‘View from the…
Friday night, Alex and I went to see ‘Confessions’, a Japanese drama at the cinema. Although there was a lot of death, it was actually a pretty good film. Anyway, after our wild night out, when we got home I went straight to bed as I was tired. I woke yesterday morning my eyes bleary,…
It wouldn’t be right if my first blog of the year wasn’t about Uncle Billy, who amazingly turns 98 this year! A lot has happened with Uncle B since my last post about him, but it’s all been good. I suppose I should start with the most recent events in his life and work backwards,…

This afternoon, Alex and I were getting dressed (I know, we’re lazy) to go and meet one of our friends Luke for lunch, who was down in London from Manchester. Alex was ‘messing about’ as he sometimes does (whilst getting ready) and being as sensible as I am (?), I told him to ‘act your…
I was resting earlier when I had cause to check my emails, I had been avoiding them! You may recall I recently blogged about an email from a lady (Mrs. Rose Manase), who I originally thought was my auntie. She had informed me that I had come into money… Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?…
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour and catch the trade winds in your sails… explore, dream, discover! This has been a… Mark Twain, ‘View from the Bottom’.…
Last wednesday, I was due to post another blog on my day spent with Uncle Billy. Well, the day didn’t turn out as expected. Uncle Billy became ill and we had an unfortunate experience at the hospital that day too. This is how Wednesday gone turned out… It was the Friday before last Wednesday that…
I was sitting in Caffe Nero’s earlier drinking my medium latte (I forget now what they call this size?), when I received an email notification on my mobile telephone with the subject heading of ‘Hello My Dear How Are You And Your Family’! My first thought was, ‘oh’, an email off my Auntie Mary, then…
