That's fantastic Keith no doubt you'll be tired at the end of the day I'm only 51 and feel knackered after the grand kids visit for a few hours :lol: I'm sure he will be better for the experience and opportunity all the best :trophy: :beer:

Good on you, it will have it's moments I am sure, but when the rewards come although sometimes few and far between they make it worthwhile.

Well done. 73 is only a number and i am sure you will create lasting memories and make a positive change to a young mans life. It is these acts of not only kindness but love that makes me smile.

good on you

I thought you where going to tell us about messing with little blue tablets too much :lol:
My friend who just passed away yesterday, worked with autistic youths.
He would sit and play the acoustic guitar.
They would often chill out and relax from it.

1st day back at school today :argh: he was a bit worried at the start but seemed to have pretty switched on teachers, so he has a safe spot to go to erfect: when he needs it. He came home telling us he had 2 new friends shyte it takes me 3 years to make new friends which is a worry, who's gonna fall off the perch 1st.
Also told him that he could have his friends here or he could go to their places provided we all new what was going on and had their names/addresses/phone numbers (devious old sod, there are some yummy mummies there ] )

So tonight he's passed out @ 9pm :clap:

See what tomorrow brings. Alls well so far layful:

I have great memories of playing back yard cricket with my grandfather, he was in his late 70's early 80,s at the time. He bowled legspin, auto WC and slips, (fence) and any shot into the ox heart tomato's was out !

I often spent a lot of time with him , he lived about 400 m away and my dad was a.sales rep, home 1 week a month and weekends.

All 3 of us would airside by side fishing for blackfish (luderick) every other weekend....happy days.

Good onya excavator, 73 is the new 60! :heart:
