My uncle, just turned 103

Postby Paphitis » Sun May 24, 2020 6:20 pm

Yeh just had a moving chat with my uncle (Dad's brother). One of 9 siblings. Only 2 remain alive. The oldest, now 103, and the youngest (which I also spoke to).

I feel for the isolation these wonderful people are experiencing.

I need to get to Cyprus as soon as possible.

It seems that longevity is a feature on my dad's side of the Family. My YiaYia died at 103. My uncle looks as though he is going to beat her. he can still walk to kafeneio and live a fairly good life. Glad they are now open again in Cyprus.

Haha! maybe....I hope so!

Now here is an interesting question. I wonder what the Cyprus form would be like when we are over 100 and still here! :lol:

I imagine you’ll be running some super-gay browser under Windows 24, and a 167” screen... :?

Probably right about Windows 24 or higher, or some other OS that has taken over. Things never remain stationary.

As for running browsers, I think I imagine myself probably being in Cyprus or Greece in retirement after my kids take over everything and run it responsibly.

Probably Greece if I can help it. I just feel like it's the most amazing little place in the world.

So coooooool. 8)

I feel like I am 2/3 the way already there.

I guess that was the easy part.

The remaining 1/3 the way might be a bit of a hill to climb however! :D

Some post-Saturday night mornings I feel like I've exceeded that record. :(
