That's great - keep up the good work

Me to. I retired at 62. 10 good years (apart from the grief I get off welshie).

Happy 10th anniversary to you and me @Dave7

Pleasing turn out for my Indoor Games group. People played dominoes, Scrabble, Cribbage and Canasta.

The crib game was me reminding a couple of lapsed players the rules and scoring.

Canasta myself and Mrs P introducing a friend to a new game.

A good do.

I've been retired for 10 years this month. It's been a super 10 years

I've been retired for 5 years. 2.5 of those I was on dialysis. Now I just spend time on my own pottering around

Today's downside is No.3 son has phoned. He and his partner want to come and see us tonight. This is HIGHLY unusual.

I may either have to stump up a significant loan or become a granddad. One I can cope with............

Can't think of any other reason for the impending visit.......

So basically what you are saying in a roundabout way, when you get round to it, not to make a big issue of it, but just saying like is..........
you are a kept woman
