That's when I'll be eighty-nine,
and able to say that
it suits me just fine.

Three months and eight days to go in fact!
The children, grandchildren, and even the great-grandchildren are already making plans, so I'm told. How's that for forward thinking?
Five of us arrived in Perth WA in 1957 and with the passage of time we now number 19. If my then wife was still alive it would be 20!
Thankyou for your comment, it is much appreciated.
Best wishes from W A
