      Yes, we called them geysers as well.

      I remember the outside loos as well. They always had the gaps at the top and bottom of the door - but they had wooden seats that didn't get too cold even in the winter.

          Like I said earlier, I do think it's about attitude to a large extent, but being slightly serious (and perhaps depressing, sorry), just for a moment...

          When you realise you're attending more funerals than you used to. And when you realise that while the funerals you used to attend were mainly for your grandparentsand there generation, increasingly they are for the next generation, or your own.

          Anyway, sorry about that depressing observation. Let's chin up:)

            When you think about the fact that you owned or still own some really great vehicles and some of them you can still fix yourself...did anyone say distributor cap?

            Getting old is about having more great experiences than the pup sitting next to you:)

            I'm going skydiving in the spring. Want to do it while my body is still"young" enough:heehee:

                    Just keep telling yourself ( as your legs are danging over the edge at the back door ) that its statistically safer to jump out of a perfectly good plane than it is to stay in it and land back at the airstrip.

                        Don't think I'll be taking any pics. I don't think I'm capable of focusing while screaming:heehee:

                            Nobody will hear your screams when you are 10,000ft up.

                                Thanks to @Hannah's Rose Garden , I have decided that I am not bothered about ageing. We are still loved by some :biggrin:.
