Painter mans done, came round this morning, checked his work, packed up his stuff and picked up his cheque, just waiting for the scaffolding man to remove the scaffolding from round the front, I'm a happy bunny, he's done a good job, the sound you can hear is my wallet crying in the corner. ^_^:laugh:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning all :hello:

Got to wash the caravan first thing, then take it back to the storage yard.
Bit of gardening to do if the weather brightens up a bit.
MrsD gets her first full State Pension payout tomorrow and she's promised to treat me to lunch at SQs. :okay:



I get my first full month as well although I don't get the full pension

Watch out @Dirk, here I come! :hello:

A quick shower and breakfast, then I am on my way to Devon - yay!

The forecast is looking good down there for my visit.

Now that I have my pension I am no longer going to be a freeloader on these visits so I got my sister to do a big Aldi shop for me. I have £35 worth of shopping to contribute to the household while I am down, and might buy a few more things next week if supplies run low.

Catch up later! :okay:

Have fun on the trains, or the stations at least.

At Leeds now and Devon train due in at 13:11.

Blimey, an ancient and deafening old diesel engine just went past. The sort I used to see 50+ years ago. Deltic? :whistle:

Ha - so much for great journey... The train is only 4 carriages and every seat is taken, even First Class. Passengers standing everywhere. I am sitting on the floor next to a stinky toilet, but that doesn't work!

Oh dear, an elderly woman who is busting now needs to be taken through the crowd to the toilet at the other end of the train.

I won't dare drink much!

Shortage of crews to operate the trains.
You should get a seat once past Sheffield.
