Happy 90th Birthday Dad!

My dad is 90 on Sunday and he is fitter than most people 20 or 30 years younger, despite having COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). He's never smoked - the COPD came from years of crawling around in attic spaces full of asbestos for his job as a self employed electrician. ☹️

Dad has always looked after himself. His mantras are 'a little of what you fancy does you good' and 'everything in moderation.' 😀

When he was shielding during lockdown, he created an obstacle course in his back garden. Up and over beer crates, and up and down steps -everyday, he does 10-20 laps of his obstacle course!
He's also created a home gym in his garage where he does 20 minutes of weights a day and has my old treadmill in his kitchen which he uses to walk when it's raining.

In the last year he's repaired and painted his decking, replaced his fence and helped my nephew build a shed! Not to mentioned cooking for himself (something he never did when my mum was alive), looking after the garden and keeping a large 3 bedroomed house reasonably clean and tidy. He's pretty awesome really!

Dad was born in the Ostrich pub on Bristol harborside, so that's where we are going for lunch to celebrate his birthday.

If I've got half his energy and discipline at 90, I will be a very happy woman!

Have a good one Dad!

What about you... What do you do to keep young?
