Well, my Nanna was still taking cruises and flying internationally in her 90s. 😱

When I'm in my 90s I plan to be living in the spare room at my daughter's house being spoon fed, wearing a nappy and dribbling uncontrollably.  Just like she used to do a long time ago.  Ah revenge, sweet revenge!!!

Sleeping like a baby isn't as comfortable as it sounds.

I’d take quality of life over quantity of years given the choice. In spite of living with a heart condition for many years Nanna was able to enjoy quite an active life (including many domestic and overseas trips through the years) up until her last 6 months. She slipped away the day after her 95th birthday. But that’s over 10 years ago now!

 

Anyway, that really doesn’t have anything to do with the price of passports. 🤷‍♂️

Waking up crying in the middle of the night is bad enough, buy the nappy rash is a killer.

Yep, whatever we do we mustn't let the thread divert to another topic.  😁

At the time there was warnings of long delays - it took 1 week 😳

I just renewed my passport, and & was told it may take up to 6 weeks, like you it took just 1 week to arrive.

That’s better than being told it will take one week and it not arriving for six! 😱

Under promise and over deliver, a very good way to make people happy.

I do that daily.
