On this day 92 years ago, Russian speed-skater Lidia Selikhova was born and so too was John Kelly, a Lancashire Cricketer. Both died in the 70’s …aged 50’Something.
Why is this significant I hear you ask?
Well on this day 92 years ago, my MIL was also born. She is feisty, opinionated, quite deaf and very.. very…very short, but also very much alive and kicking.
She lives in an aged care facility and she still can’t accept that she’s not a good candidate for knee, shoulder AND spinal surgeries….
She can’t quite work out why they took her drivers license off her 5 or 6 years ago…and she gets super ‘cross’ if she misses her weekly visit to the hairdresser (OR if they forget to give her salt for her meals). She has a memory like an elephant (for most things) and never leaves her room without baubles and beads that would put a Christmas tree to shame.
What a legend …Happy Birthday Ninny… for what it’s worth I reckon you’ll easily do the ‘century’!!
