The remore has been found!
W found it on the sofa on what she is a-lying on having thoroughyl searched it and not found it afore!!!
I am still trying to work out how it took 3 hours this a.m. for me to get W up (and myself), a spot of brekker for us both and the lists written then me out the gate and on the road!
It is said that when you retire, what used to take a few seconds then takes at least a minute. What you did in a few minutes becomes an hour's task, An hour's work becomes a whole morning or afternoon. And so on.
Which accounts for why we, mostly I cos I had the biggest holidays, managed to fit out the entire house and tile two walls of the last bathroom, plant at least 135 trees, sort out a chicken run and put up a big and quite complex hen house, Help with slabbing around the pool and a path with at least three sets of steps up to the house, so this about 80 metres long, put up a shed, maintain the land the bits W couldn't handle in the time taken between Feb 2008 and April 2015, this being in school hols but not all of them.
Since then, when I retired, I have supervised the building of a patio, decked a terrace, put up a polytunnel and still not made any progress in that last pesky bathroom. And for most of this time I have been over here 6 months of the year.
I have a feeling I CBA a lot and take things too easy cos "we have plenty of time".
What is chilling is thinking of all the motor vehicle projects I had since long before 2015 back in blighty and have yet to touch thanks to various DIY projects the W wanted and as above thinking I have all the time in the world.
Do I have it in me to get up early, get on wiv stuff and work in the evenings too like I used to? Hmm!
Anyway Dins ain't gonna cook itself!!
