Mornin' All
by FunkyFarmer @ 2007-10-18 - 09:14:15

'Mornin' me ducks.

It's a brilliant day here today. Just the right sort of day to take some pics but unfortunately exterior house painting calls. I started the job about a week ago but it turned out to be one job too far. My days spent up a rickety ladder have passed. Luckily a couple of builder mates of mine are at a loose end until they start a new job on Monday.

I thought that retirement was sposed to be a time of rest and reflection?
Not around here it ain't lol Since I packed in work a year ago now. A lot has happened. The most scary of course was my heart attack but with that over I seem to be busier that ever I was as a wage slave.

To date projects have included, installing oil fired central heating, putting in an LPG gas range (supplied by Boots, would you believe! the second lowest price for the same item was from Sainsbury's )Luckily my son is a Corgi registered fitter and he checked things out and certificated the work. All this between helping out on the farm with harvest, drilling, spraying ect.

The message here is if you are near retiring, don't bother. It is far less exhausting staying at work LOL

I'm off now cos this is getting boring. Now where did I put that paint brush? Oh here it is I'm sitting on it!!!

I wish t'old man could apply himself like you do, he's always complaining about being bored...i'd better add that he does keep the garden in tip top condition though!

I alway knew that werk was a four letter word. lol Guess what? I went and bought the Sandtex paint from Focus. When I got back home I realised it's magnolia !!

Never mind a change is as good as a rest

Don't mock magnolia...I've still got some left in the living room and loos :)) Just never got around to changing it in the living room and it's a good background for my paintings so we've left it...

Trouble is it is true isn't it Funks so much to do and no time to do it when you are retired. I have a friend retired recently, I see less of him now.
