Produktbeschreibung
When you get to a certain age, you do a lot of thinking, maybe too much, but definitely a lot. The other thing you do a lot of is forgetting... so at the end of the day you are not sure whether your last thought is a new thought or reincarnation of the one you had earlier that day. A few years ago, after an active life, the author started to slow down a bit physically but the mind was still sharp and active, so as well as the daily newspaper puzzles that he completed every morning, he started picking up a pen and notebook and writing his thoughts down. This book is a compilation of these thoughts and opinions that have gradually accumulated over the years, seeing him out of his eighties and into his nineties. They represent his take on situations, events and happenings and he hopes the reader will find them thought-provoking, insightful and all being well humorous.
Autorenporträt
Tom Pallant was born in 1928 in the mining village of Langwith on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. Entering the industry as a draughtsman, he later joined the newly formed NCB as a mechanical engineer until his retirement. He and his wife Barbara were happily married for 60 years until she passed away in 2010. They had two sons Paul and Simon; he sadly lost Paul to cancer in 2013. He re-married at 83 to Cynthia, but she passed on soon afterwards. Now, in his 92nd year and in excellent health, he is living independently in a contemplative and relaxed style.
