hi folks, thought i would just pop down a few of my thoughts, well as everyone does or tries, im just getting on with life taking it as it comes. ive loads of jobs round the house that i couldnt do before for 1 reason or another, so a couple of weeks ago i thought there are things that wont wait any longer, trees shooting up beside my boundary fence,fence needs painting,car needs work for mot,then the mot, then blow me, we had a problem with the water supply pipe to the outhouse, the garage roof needs re felting. So i decided whilst waiting for some more reconstruction treatment, i had best get stuck in.
with the help of my eldest we have got my old banger on the road for another 12 months, ive got 1 of the trees and roots out ( a beast of a job they came up against the outbuilding), painted 1 side of the fence, managed to isolate the water leak, so ive been busy, but still got things that are half done, waiting for me to get back to them.
my birthday yesterday ( all the fives fifty five ) all my grown up kids came to call, helped me felt the garage, had a good natter, lots of pressies, then off to a wedding reception for an hour, today has been a brill day as well with family, i took the wife out for a meal with some of my birthday money, so friends we dont live the high life, but thanks to my family and friends it has been a special time for me.
i may be a knacker, but im not dead yet.
to everyone out there best wishes and warmest regards from ski
