Thank you.<br /><br />Dick: You have been one of my post-60 inspirations for a little while.<br /><br />Now, bus passes. The documentation issued with my bus pass says:<br /><br /><EM> "Free bus travel in Herefordshire and on journeys starting and finishing in Herefordshire at all times.<br /><br />Free bus travel in other parts of England (but not before 09.30 or after 23.00 hours on Mondays to Fridays). <br /><br />Free bus travel on cross boundary journeys between Herefordshire and places in Wales at all times." </EM>So. Dick and Bunty's Mum seem both to be partly right. Unlimited local travel but also fairly open-ended travel further afield - but in England only. I reckon it's a good deal, even though I can't tour Wales or Scotland for free!mmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602566764008799383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739213725958456619.post-1444176482003649862009-05-27T16:22:29.056+01:002009-05-27T16:22:29.056+01:00Not so, Dick!

Don't believe the horror stories about the menopause though. On balance, mine was a cinch. No hot flushes. Nothing. It gets better, I promise.<br /><br />Zhoen: Sometimes I watch the cat and my heart hurts knowing it isn't for all that much longer.

Marie says, 'yes, I do. I feel absolutely marvelous. It’s clear now that I was born to be sixty. And to be honest, I can’t wait to be seventy.'”<br /><br />This is from a wonderful book I read last year - <I>No, I Don't Want to Join a Book Club</I> by Virginia Ironside. Marie lives with a cat named Pouncer. You can read a bit about it, if you wish, on my book blog in an entry in November 2008<br /><br />http://blogdelivre.blogspot.com<br /><br />happy, happy years, MaryJanicehttp://blogdelivre.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739213725958456619.post-44333218373508424222009-05-25T11:37:31.171+01:002009-05-25T11:37:31.171+01:00Happy Birthday!
