I am a bit late placing this onto my website due to the fact I just don't get much time now that I have retired!
This is not a myth but a fact which can be quickly worked out like this. I used to work a 30 hour week. Now that I have retired Gail and I have Bryony Wednesday and Thursdays - these are both equivalent to 2 x 8 hour shifts - 16 hours.
Now add on Fridays with the Twins starting at 7am and by the time we get back home it is 7pm - that's 12 hours. Total now 28 hours. I have previously mentioned we also have the twins round either Mondays or Tuesdays - OK Chris is also with them but that takes us well over the 30 hours I used to work. On top of all that I used to only go out to the Working Men's Club on Tuesdays, Community Centre on Wednesdays and the Quiz on Thursdays twice in a four week period, Now it is every week 4/4. It is easy to see already why I have less time than before to do things like managing this web site, Photography, reading and so on.
So What have I been doing with all this extra spare time (ha ha) - A quick check of my Calendar shows Various Dental appointments During November. I now have a Gold Crown in place of my upper left incisor, Gail has a new set of dentures.
Various trips to the Vets with Annie. She is now on heart tablets for life. Friday 15 November and we were at an 18th birthday party at the Community Centre. Saturday 23 November - Open the Box at the Community Centre. Saturday 30 November was a trip to Bath Christmas Market with the Community Centre. On our way we stopped off at a Carvery in Worcester for an 'All you can eat Breakfast'. That was absolutely fantastic - so much so that our organizer Niel immediately booked us in for another one as we go down to Weston Super Mare at the end of December for our mini break at a Hotel to let in the New Year. Just slightly touching December (I will summarize December next month) on Tuesday 3 December Gail, Nicola, Rebecca and myself made our usual trip to Porthcawl to see Mary. On top of all this Our First of Many Christmas meals was held at the Whitehouse on Thursday 28 November, Gail, Carol, John, Pete, Karen and myself.
Megan went from crawling to running in the space of a week, Basically just got up and walked across the room and within a few days you would have thought she had been walking for months. All 3 granddaughters are copying words and I don't think it will be long now before they are all talking. Rebecca has found out that her baby due in April will be a boy and has been busy preparing, decorating the 'nursery' and getting various items such as pushchairs, clothes and so on.
