lauradi7dwDavid Attenborough turned 100 this week. When he was 90, Ardman animation did a series of tribute videos. They've popped up on social media due to this birthday
Also 100 this week was Arthur's Aunt Harriet (his mother's sister). There was a party in the dining room of the retirement apartment building she lives in. Relatives came from near and far (the farthest was her elder granddaughter, who lives in India). It was the first time my grandchildren had been on planes. I was with them on the southbound plane, and they did pretty well. They weren't the youngest attendees - two of the family babies have been born in the last six months. Not everybody gets to be 100 with mind sharp and body mostly OK. And wear a sparkly gold outfit surrounded by people who love her.
