Fair play to her mate

Wow! That's pretty old to have a pilot's license.

I instantly had a mental image of her wearing Biggles scarf and goggles whilst standing on the ridge of the roof flapping her arms!

My mother in law is 83, my other half is 45 and recently she was worried her mum was getting absent minded/forgetful/confused so they got this doc to run a series of tests with her present(prob for dementia/Alzheimers onset)....
By her own admission her mum scored better than her!
Watch "Countdown", keeps the brain going numbers and letters, nice lady in a short skirt too...
Gotta keep mentally and physically active, and be sensible about it, injuries and breaks can be a major disaster the older you get...
