MMMMM....about babies......I went through this saga for nearly 6 months. I am possibly the oldest member here....me or Willy would be in a close race for that honour ...

Well David at least you probably still have a 6 still at the start of your age.  69 is in the past as an age for me but often in my mind and spirit when the call to attention comes!

If I had know your wife was away I could have flown down to Perth as Cathay Pacific had some very cheap special offers from Hong Kong. Just think two old codgers sitting in their twilight years watching the kangaroos and koalas with a cold beer in hand....! 

Its not something worth contemplating yet is it?

Willy The Londoner:
Just wait for the next bombshell Chris. That is when your step-son is at marrying age and has a child of his own.   After three months the wife will more than likely hand over the bringing up of the child to her husbands mother. And that includes the step father when you are around your 70's.

You may get lucky and find that there is an available Aunt to do that job otherwise your home and routine could be turned up side down at an age where you crave for a more stable life.

My wife has been constant in the life of our nephews upbringing since he was three months old. Now a year later, after having gone through teething and now well past taking those first tottering steps, we are getting into the stage where a word may come out very soon but at present it is an audible sound that turns into chuckling anow he has found the safe and by pressing multiple buttons he gets the siren to go off on!!!

It looks like this and other little capers will go on now until he is into his third year when he will go to kindergarten school.

Then complete freedom....!  You must be joking my wife has a son and daughter that is fast approaching marital age. So who knows what the next two years will bring!!!   

They say having children keeps you your.  But for me having others children has put years on me.

Maybe soon I will be calling out to scottish-rob.  'Beam me up Scotty'

OK, now Willy...you're scaring me! First, he thinks, as with the culture...he will stay and support us. I'm more of thinking...he and his family can come and visit often. Otherwise I will need a little fishing hideaway in the mountains for spiritual help with patience! I am kind of excited to teach him and his mother to fly fish, although trout will become tiresome. First lesson...no heads or eyeballs on my plate! ;D

I looked forward to teaching my wife to fish in China.  One look at the river and streams and I changed my mind.  Every waterway I've seen in China is brown.

When my wife buys fish in the market I inspect it closely to see if something has been carved off like a second head or some kind or carcinoma that has been protruding from the skin.

brett:
Ha ha ha the stream near my apartment is pretty bad, and doesn't smell so good either. It doesn't seem to discourage the frogs singing about the beauty of the place though.

Was shopping in Carrefour today browsing the bottom shelf of the foreign foods section (looking for tins that weren't dented - but that's another story). Anyway I stood up and realised I'd been crouching next to a live catfish. It must have jumped out of the fish tank.

Coming to live in China is a crazy idea.
