Introduction Hello: I am Willy. I used BLOGGER/and Blogspot earlier, already in 2007. Then came WORDPRESS and, then all the various social media sites. I used TWITTER a lot and since 2010 FACEBOOK. NOW: 2022 heyho....I am BACK at BLOGGER and BLOGSPOT, thanking good old GOOGLE for keeping that going, and trust GOOGLE: it has IMPROVED tremendously. So I can safely say: WELCOME BACK WILLY, ☚ after a long absence of definitely about 10 years. WOW, and I am still alive!
Interests Growing old gracefully means, needs for a special WAY OF LIFE. Coping with daily stress whilst staying FIT, and maintaining a weight HEALTHY for me, at my age as an OCTOGENARIAN is the ONLY important issue, whilst at the same time my INTERESTS also keep me busy. Note: I have many, and for reference: these are listed on my Facebook page: willyholmesspoelder.
Favorite Movies Because I am so old, and have not visited a cinema for at least 25 years, and because I also do not watch movies online through for instance Netflix type websites I can safely say: everything before 1991 I have SEEN. And because I live *off the grid* in rural Southern Turkey, in the ancient historical valley KAYAKOY, I am *dependent * on satellite TV, mostly GERMAN channels. These are FANTASTIC and provide me with more than enough movies, old and recent ones. Besides: Germany has great actors, and TV productions. Rarely a dull moment 24/7.
Favorite Music When it comes to MUSIC: I have a huge collection myself, stored on external USB, from DUTCH barrel-organ, tear-jerkers to GREEK, CHINESE, world-famous CLASSICAL music, singers, Opera's, GREGORIAN, carols, Xmas songs musicals, and what not. The latter: I dislike rap, and what the current youngsters prefer, but that is normal, eh? I hated my parents music, let alone what grandparents preferred.
Favorite Books Now about books, I used to have a REAL LIBRARY, however when I relocated to Turkey, and having moved prior to that a few times too: packing unpacking, well: I do have a few left of course mostly either for display or lots of reference books, and working manuals (unique/priceless), acquired whilst studying and practising HOLISTIC HEALTH medicine . Bottomline: I am a great supporter of AMAZON & KOBO, buying ebooks that I read on either an 8" SAMSUNG tablet or phone. Absolutely marvelous. After electricity, and the World Wide Web probably the best technological invention to keep me happy for decades.

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?

????? None. Ah, one: I hope everyone who finds my blogs LIKES my profile picture, taken on my 80t birthday, celebrated during the ghastly COVID pandemic & my incarceration as a 65+ oldie. I am not that photogenic, however for once in my life: I did come out *not that bad*. Note: I do practise LONGEVITY, and looking well is a nice part of that practise.
