The problem with blogging about annual events such as National Grandparents Day is: how do you avoid repetition?
This year it's today, October 3rd. Last year was October 4th. We are getting younger. Or perhaps ageing more slowly. I believe it's always on the first Sunday in October. The same as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the premier European horse race, the peak of the flat racing season. At Longchamp today. 3:05 BST.
Anyway, here's what my grandkids can do for me today:
- read your grandfather's blog
- comment on some posts in your grandfather's blog (you have a choice of 303)
- check out your grandfather's Twitter feed @usedtobecroque1 and send me a tweet
- post links to your grandfather's blog on your TikTok accounts
- wear a @usedtobecroque1 T shirt
- make a "I love my Grandpa" web site
- take your mum and dad breakfast in bed
Not much to ask really; I'm always asking my grandchildren for birthday and Christmas lists so I thought I'd preempt their requests for today. Just in case.
October 3rd is also National Boyfriend Day in the USA. I don't have one of those - unless I take Tony as a boy and a friend - so I'll stick with checking my blog for grandson comments. Expect there will probably be none.ðŸ˜
Oh and best wishes to grandparents everywhere - those I know and those I don't.
