Hi there
When I went swimming the other day just as I was about to enter the pool I was splashed by a 96 year old lady.
This "youngster" goes swimming 2/3 times a week the same as I do so I see her regularly.
Isn't great that at 96 years old she still keeps herself fit. Sure she only "potters about" now but even so it must be good for her.
Hey but not only that she still has fun. I hope that when I'm 96 I will still be able to go swimming and that I will still have fun splashing other people.
I'm busy writing more articles about my internet business. If interested look me up under whoisjohnbeaumont.
Thought for today: Are you still enjoying life? Are you having fun or is stress ruining your life? Hey lighten up and go splash someone.

Poor Owen
Hi friends
At present we are having a new bathroon installed and as there is a lot of mess etc I have put Owen (the mad English Spaniel) into kennels.
The trouble is there have been a few problems so I have kept putting Owen's release date back!!
Hope he will forgive me..
I haven't posted a blog for a few weeks as I have been on holiday. In fact the bathroom was going to be done whilst we were away but as usual "the best laid plans of mice and men" went astray.
The main reason was that my step-daughter Jill sudenly went into hospital with DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which was very serious although fortunately she is now on the mend. As her husband Tim was doing the bathroom for us this caused problems. That's putting it mildly!
Any rate it is looking good so it will be great when it's finished.
I'm still working hard on my internet business which is now going well. I've joined The Six Figure Mentors Group which is really excellent.
I'll be posting an update about it as soon as my nice new website is ready to go, so keep your eyes peeled.
Well I must get ready to go off for my swim. As I'm not taking Owen for walks at the moment I'm putting on weight.
Thought for today: Are you appreciating your friends and family? It is quite frightening how they could suddenly be taken from us
Joke for today:- Success is relative. The more success the more relatives!!
On this day:- 5th October

Traditions
Hi ,
A friend of mine has unfortunately just died and whilst talking to a mutual friend the subject of traditions at funerals came up.
I think it is a shame that some traditions are falling by the wayside.
For example I was always taught that when a neighbour dies we should draw the curtains as the funeral cortege passes.
In fact I did this after we first moved into our home and a neighbour who I never had the chance to meet died. I was very surprised that ,whilst "the other old school neighbours did the same, none of the younger ones did.
I realise it may be just a small point but I believe such small courtesies are the "oil" of civilisation.
In fact I was quite touched when at my mother's funeral a few years ago a complete stranger stood at the side of the road with his hat in his hand as the funeral procession passed.
There are several other traditions which I would like to see kept. Policemen and members of the armed forces always used to salute as a coffin passed by even for a total stranger.
Certainly we should all pause as a funeral goes passed us.
In fact I get annoyed if I see cars passing on a dual carriageway. For goodness sake can't we wait for a few minutes?
I'm all for progress but we shouldn't "throw the baby out with the bathwater"
Enough of my rant.
My internet business is going well now. I've a few more articles under my belt too.
Thought for today. Have you been courteous to the people you have met?
Joke for today:- Death is hereditary
On this day-
2nd September
In 1945 Japan formally surrendered. Interestingly the war started for the U.K. on the 3rd September (but 1939) Strange coincidence I hadn't noticed before. Ended on the 2nd and started on the 3rd
In 1973 Tolkein died.
In 1942 the Germans destroyed the Warsaw Ghetto killing 50,000 Jews

What is the point of Facebook?
Hi
I have been musing about Facebook and trying to come to ascertain what purpose it serves.
Yes I know it is very popular and it has been very successful (particularly for the owners!!) but why do we use it?
Originally I assume the purpose was to enable friends/relations to keep in touch.
Obviously by posting information oncce then all your contacts can know what you are up to (assuming you want them to know!) and this is very useful. It saves time trying to tell everyone individually.
However look what is happening now.
I'm sure, like me, you are getting lots of requests to be "friends" with people you have never before even heard of.
It is being increasing used as a marketing tool and that is fine by me providing people are open about it.
However to see that Bill Blogs is going to McDonalds for a burger is hardly interesting let alone earth shattering!
If Facebook is to continue in the long term and not be a five minute wonder then people will have to start posting more interesting information.
The other main purpose appears to be to "help" people playing games. Get a life!!
Well I suppose that answers my question. What is the point of Facebook?
To give people pleasure.
I suppose that is probably the best reason ever.
Thought for today:- Are you enjoying life? If not why not? You had better wake up as you don't know how many days you may have left to enjoy your life.
Joke for today:- Life is an open door. It can be closed at any time so don't complain about the draft.

I nearly fell off my chair
Hi,
Last night I was watching a new (at least I think it is new--it was to me anyrate) programme on the BBC called Trackers.
Basically this is a programme where they trace people for you but they also have a financial expert who traces the people to whom amounts of money are owed.
Apparently there are billions of unclaimed money floating around in financial institutions.
At the end of this programme they had invited some people to a gathering in London where they disclosed to them money to which they were entitled.
These people didn't know why they had been asked to attend.
After disclosing some smaller amounts to some people they finished by calling three siblings together.
Imagine my surprise when I recognised them. In factI nearly fell off my chair.(Actually I was sitting on the settee but that doesn't sound so good---"I nearly fell off my settee!")
Anyrate I digress. These siblings are cousins of Sue (my better half) and it had been found that there long deceased parents Bill & Audrey who I had known had a savings plan set up for their children.
This plan had been fogotten about but the financial expert had found it and they now had a share of £25000.
Wow. Great for them. Must remember to give them a ring!! Only joking but I bet they find some "friends" they didn't know they had!!
Thought for today> Do you still keep in touch with you relations?
Joke for today:- Success is relative. The more success the more relatives!
On this day:-
In 30bc Mark Anthony committed suicide at the court of Cleopatra
In 1901 the vacuum cleaner was patented by a Scotsman Hubert Booth
In 1963 a direct telephone line between the Kremlin and the White House became operational

Great Webinar
Listened to a great webinar last night.
All about how to build a six figure income on the internet.
Fortunately I have incorporated most of the advice into my internet business but it still gave me new ideas.
Surprising how we can learn something new every day.
I suppose that is what can keep us young.
The most interesting thing is how building a successful internet marketing business is simple.
Note that I said simple not easy!
The basic principle is simple but putting it into practice is more difficult.
See my website if you would like more information. www.whoisjohnbeaumont.com
Thought for today: What did you learn new today?
Joke for today:- A bear walks into a pub and takes a bite outof the bar. Get out screams the barman we don't serve druggies here. I'm not a druggie replies the puzzled bear. Oh no? says the barman what about the "bar bit you ate"?
On this day 29th August:-
In 1877 Brigham Young the Mormon leader died.
In 1958 Michael Jackson was born
In 1885 the first motorcycle was patented
In 1949 Richard Gere was born

Found the Family Mansion
Yep true
Sue and I found The Wilderness. What's The Wilderness?
It is the mansion which my great grandfather 5 times removed lived in and I believe built back in the 1720's. If he didn't have it built at least he extended it. I'm seeking more information on this.
From searching family history we found that this gentleman Sir John Pratt was Lord Chief Justice of England from 1718 until 1725 and interim Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1721.
He bought The Wilderness in Seal Kent.
It is a magnificant building now owned by a blind school and we were shown part of it by the director of education who happened to be there.
It has one of the best Georgian staircases in the country.
Afterwards we went to see the local church where there are plaques on the wall in memory of family members as well as stained glass windows provided by them.
Nearby was the family vault.
It was very interesting realising that my forefathers walked in the same spot as me all those years ago.
Thought for today: Do you appreciate what your ancestors did for you?
Joke for today:- What do you get if you cross an owl with a skunk?
Something that smells but doesn't give a hoot!
On this day:- In 79AD Mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed Pompeii
In 1724 George Stubbs the great horse painter was born
