The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

We went to see our Daughter this morning, as I said earlier they are all coming to ours tomorrow, and she gave us our card which contained a photograph of her 12 week scan.
We are going to be Granparents for the first time. It is due at athe start of July. MrsP is ecstatic. 😁😁
Dinner is now on the go and should be ready around 5pm.

Congratulations. It's a wonderful thing being a Granddad.

Is that The Wolverine on the right?

He eats like he is, that's for sure.

Which one - just out of interest as I sort of know the place
or used to anyway!

The Residence in Seel Street, a lovely place that we use often.

Well Christmas Dinner has been done

just the two of us but SWMBO has done most of the stuff
(or so she says - I seem to remember a lot of chopping and other things but it is great that she feel swell enough to do things)

and dinner wat the best I have had for many year which is certainly down to her knwoing more about "studd"

and I am now officialyy pissed

and I am nt the only one
which means we have had a good talk about the stuff we were not saying before and needed to ne said

She knows me and knows that I am rubbish at saying what I need to say



so - Christmas has been good and we has helped a lot

The daughter-in-law was wonderful and talked a about her family and stuff while she was here

and I heard a small bit of it was the grand son was yattering at me about his game on his "pad" (its Android!!!)




so it looks like family things are getting better


and - believ it od not - I have spell cheked this
I might be drunk

Wow, all sounds very deep
