"ONE of your Ex's"......my mind is truly boggled

Maybe he means one of his ex girlfriends.

"ONE of your Ex's"......my mind is truly boggled

To be accurate - I have never been married before
all the ex's were based on unmarried states - of various levels of time committent

so until I married my wife about 7 years ago I had never been married

she has 2 previous husbands
which works well because, as far as I can tell, comparing well to them is an easy bar to clear!!!

but one of the women I used to "be in a relationship with" emigrated some years ago to that general area!

Morning all.
It's stopped raining at last and there is some blue sky showing through.
I might be able to get out on the bike for a while without getting soaked.

Stay safe peeps

Bright and sunny this morning ☀️. Running club lunch to attend then a bit of diy if I feel up to it. Just looked at February's energy report and it was worse on average with regards to solar generation than January.
Had a wander around the locale to check the areas where I'd scattered wild flower seeds and can see signs of growth 👍

What do you think he means?

I think he is a genuinely nice guy and I am not getting drawn into that
Edit
I have met him and know he is a nice guy.

Looking bright but cold in Coventry this morning . We will be off to Leamington in a bit to go sailing . Tbh I might not bother to sail as there is so little wind , the thing is sailing in very little wind is harder on your body then when it’s windy as you have to stay still in the boat a lot of the time in positions that are not comfortable. We will still go as mrs exlaser is on duty and I will chat/drink coffee/drink wine 😀
Have a good day everyone.

Morning folks Walked the beach yesterday when it stopped raining and met some fellow beach cleaners! A while ago i had dragged up an assortment of fishing **** and left it on the edge of the golf course hoping the maintenance crew would shift it. Anyhow it had been there for ages so was pleased to see the Caithness Beach Cleans group [facebook] had loaded it as they had a ATV and trailer. I was unaware of this group so signed up for future clean ups

Morning all. Another cold start to the day.
Yesterday was 'interesting' to say the least. I will condense things.
My sons birthday and his wife (as a present) took him to Bakewell, Derbyshire. She took him for a meal in a swanky restaurant and, unknown to him there were 7 of us waiting to greet him. I confess, it was quite emotional.
Bakewell itself........
It was mind blowing. A cold, wet day and it was absolutely heaving. Parking was near impossible. Shops were rammed.
Prices were astronomical but people were queuing to pay the money.
Can I give few examples.
1. The restaurant. Very good but eg fish n chips....19 quid.
2. The family wanted to go to this cafe claiming to sell 'original' Bakewell tarts. Just small tart was over 8 quid (people were queuing to get in.
3. A sweet shop shelling all old style sweets eg sherbert lemons and flying saucers etc. eg liquorice sticks.....4 for £4.50. It was a big shop and people were queuing on the street to get in. One lady I saw bought 2 large bags of assorted sweets.....I kid you not...£123.50 (not a typo, that is correct).

I got told off because I looked around and said "look at those fukcing prices".

We have a sweetie shop up the town that's a bit like that. Not quite as expensive though I don't think.
