Today Genny said we need shopping, uh oh! I thought what fun. 10am saw us bumbling along in the roller skate to Banbury, we did our usual thing when we arrived, Genny going her way and me setting off for the Canal arranging to meet a couple of hours later.
I took my usual constitutional before taking residence at my favoured table at the canal side cafe. A large cappuccino in hand observing the comings and goings of the patrons and the canal boats.
Whats so special about today? Well not a lot really except the sun was so warm the sky so blue even the birds weren't coughing, I had a smile on my face the bones didn't ache so much even had a little spring in my step.

Piccy Problems
I have discovered a problem with some of the Photo slideshows not working properly I am working on it and hope I can get everything back to normal.
It's been a long time
It has been a long time, many days and weeks have passed since my last post.
I have been trying to set up a new webpage and blog, it's been a long process which is ongoing the site is almost complete but I have not yet put it online.
Since I retired far from having time on my hands, GTB and I have been kept busy with family, shuttling between Odessa and around the UK. A poor excuse for not blogging you could say, well maybe so sorry.
Good news I am officially now a grandfather. My daughter has given me two little guys 21months and 7months, both doing well growing up fast. Of course I am a grandfather by proxy, our daughters have 3 boys, fantastic guys, two have left school one of which is at maritime university in Odessa the other is taking time out before going to Uni later on. The youngest of the three is still at school doing very well, he has shot up over the last year, I had quite a shock when I heard him talking to Genny a few months ago his voice had broken I thought it was his elder brother, it's amazing how quickly time flies the older you get.
So what else has happened? well sadly I had to part with my beloved Chrysler 300c it had become impractical, we no longer need such a vehicle for ourselves, so it was with a heavy heart I traded it it for a tiny little roller skate of a car which serves our purposes admirably.
Photographically I have been busy, a lot more selective in my images, also I upgraded Lightroom and made a c*** up of the transfer from version 2 to 3 now I have to rebuild my library's not a major hassle, fortunately everything is backed up onto 2 external drives, I want to get another 2tb hard drive for storage, when they are available with a thunderbolt port at a reasonable price. I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro sometime next year that would be a good time to start I think.
