You're an example for us all John. Life is meant to be lived, and you surely are. Keep it up mate.
Can't wait 'till I can get started.
Cheers,
Sheba.

I'm impressed. My wish for you "happy birthday and hope the following year is as full of joy and wonder as this one has been". Live life to the max, live like you are being chased by a crocodile.

You certainly have been a great example to us all John. I marvel at your adventures and am amazed how you keep on keeping on with such a positive attitude. Certainly look forward to seeing what you get up to in the next 12months.

Nearly there John - you certainly don't look your age - a positive attitude helps with that. Are you going to do the Cradle Mountain walk with us over here? Hope so - also Coles Bay at Freycinet - over the Hazards to Wineglass Bay - beautiful walk. Also want to do the flying fox near St Helens - fun, fun!!!!

Best wishes John! You are proof that Peter Pan is not a myth, just a pseudonym for Yeoeleven!

Wow. You don't look even near that 75, John!
My best wishes for net 75 years of equally good spirits and positive attitude to life... This certainly keeps you looking much younger :)
