An update. I feel so fortunate. Back at home with the family, had a very long and frank discussion with Mrs Rents. She'll continue supporting me as long as I don't drink, which is obviously fair enoug

Had a couple a nights away in Keswick, got back yesterday morning. As is often the case I usually wake up at daft o’clock when I’m not at home in my own bed. Preoccupied with thoughts of today’s match

Last night I was sitting in the lounge minding my own business after the kids were put to bed.  I had the big light on.  Wor lass walked into the room and turned the big light off, fuck knows why.   S

My old man had a Beige Allegro, quite possibly the shittest car ever made. 
 

As if that’s not bad enough, when the first one fell to bits, he got another :lol:

In the above photo it isn’t cornering, that’s just how shit the suspension ( amongst numerous other things) was.

We had one of these at one stage :smile:

At least your Allegro had 4 wheels

We have a junior in the office and he's a bit of an introvert.  I have tried over the last few weeks to chat to him more, just about owt really rather than graft.

Anyways, due to technology advances etc juniors nowadays don't do about 90% of what I had to do!  I was running to the chemist to get photos developed, running to print shops to get drawings copied, going to the post office etc.  But now with emails, smart phones etc, they don't have to do that.  I am not pining for the old days, but I believe that made me confident in getting around the office to speak to people and ask questions etc.  I also feel it made me earn my stripes.

My current office the microwave is fucking RANK.  So I bought a new one.  It arrived yesterday. So this morning, I put it on his desk with a note to swap it out for the old one.

FUCK ME

It's caused a right uproar.  Admin lass, sorry 'office and finance manager'  (She answers the phone, opens the post and books meetings in), said I should have done it.  Young bairn comes in, asks what he needs to do with the microwave.  I explain he looks confused.  Fuck me.  DO WHAT YOUR'E ASKED YOU TIKTOK FANNY!

'Hmmm, that young lad seems a bit quiet over there. I know what'll bring him out of his shell, I'll carry a massive microwave over to his desk and get him to lift it from there to the canteen'.

So, had confirmation from MoD that DNA comparison is positive, we've found my Great Uncle Gordon, remains recovery site shown below in red circle (now a major hospital). Next will be his interment service, full military honours etc. Likely next year 110 years to the day after he was killed.

I have been to Hill 70 memorial!  

I still find it a bit overwhelming when driving through the Somme region etc where you're driving past cemetery after cemetery.  RIP Great Uncle Gordon.

We'll be going to his ceremony, battle of Loos doesn't get much coverage but had 61,000 casualties.

How's retirement treating you, TP? 

 

I bumped into a bloke I used to work with recently and he looked younger and healthier than he did the last time I saw him (about 7 years ago). 

 

Anyway, I hope it's working out. 👍

It's nice not having to think about work, but don't actually feel that retired tbh, have shitloads of outdoor "projects" I want to do but weather's been so shit it's all a non starter just now. So a bit bored/frustrated at the mo tbh. (Us old folks feel the cold)

 

Bring on the sunshine and I'll maybe feel it a bit more 😃
