Here’s to squeezing all manner of joy out of 2025, my friend. Looking very much forward to another year of Crossed Channels with you; and thank you for the photographic reminder that, whatever the coming year may bring, at least I won’t have to listen to James again! 😆
I too am fascinated by becoming an elder. A small positive that offsets the negatives of an ageing bod. There’s a great little podcast in Sydney called Suddenly Senior, by two radio DJs who were popular and cool 2-3 decades ago and are now like, whoah, what just happened? We are senior! They interview others from the era to reflect on ageing and outlook.
The other change I notice is living a less selfish, less hedonistic life, as responsibilities to our own elders increase. All the best you and of course Ruth. Slàinte!
I also meant to say: thanks for reading to the end, or at least getting to the end. Your comment indicates you found yourself there one way or another. It was a long one for sure! Slàinte
Thanks so much for that Denise (and of course lovely to hear from you anyway). I would like to believe I'm living a less selfish life as I age; I also think one is mean to be somewhat self-centred when younger (survival instincts engrained in us) and then hopefully passing on those "if i knew then what i know now" life lessons to the young 'uns! As for hedonistic, I would love to still live that now and then. But we are pretty low hanging fruit as we age...
What's the name of the podcast? Sounds interesting. Slàinte Mhath.
Thanks for sharing, Tony. Blessings to you and your family in the new year.
