Things I've learned from being a Granddad

Read books that you enjoy...

Do whatever you want whenever you want...

Play with simple things...

Look for affection when you need it...

Get serious once in a while...

Forget about diets...

Show some affection

Get angry once in a while...

Change your look...

Be happy, above all,
regardless what your challenges may be.

THE MELDREW FACTOR


Victor Meldrew
I think there's a bit of the Meldrew in all of us, well in me anyway. It's probably why I identify so easily with his character in the TV series One Foot in the Grave.

For those of you who need me to 'draw you a picture' us Meldrews' are frustrated and discontented with society. We're between 40 and 60,we're fed-up with politics, and the government in general. We aren't very positive about the future, and have particular worries about public services. Another fear is our financial future, as pensions funds seem to be dwindling. We're sick of all the talk about global warming, we're tired of reality television and we're fed up with watching sanitized news broadcasts.

Oh, you too? Well welcome to the club!
