Mr Eggy was embarrassed last week when he took our car into the dealership where we bought it to get a new tyre. When he went to collect her after having a wander round Tesco, they told him they’d washed and hoovered it “as it was filthy”. Oops! It was TBF, it hadn’t been cleaned after being in Cornwall for two weeks last month. That was him told! 😛Good morning. 4.9
Nasty grey wet morning.
Had a successful day yesterday: finished the long section of footings (altho' 5 metres of wider deeper digging remains), came in to a particularly aromatic chicken and vegetable stew, mucked out Peachy and, finding myself with a bit more energy in the tank, washed the car. It was getting embarrassing to be seen with - not just mud but large spreading areas of algae. The bloke who wrote "How green was my valley" should have written a follow up "How green was my motor car".
@eggyg Enjoy the pasties!
Have a good day everyone.
Ooh so exciting. I remember the day Mr Eggy put his three month notice in, it wasn’t a surprise to them as he’d told them weeks before, it was exciting/nerve racking in equal measures. Are we doing the right thing? Can we afford it? I only needed to put a months notice in ( I was just a pleb) and that was a great day too. 6.5 years and we’ve mostly enjoyed every day, ( first year was tough, health wise for Mr Eggy) can’t imagine ever been a wage slave again. Yes, belts may need to be tightened at times, you have boring days ( like today) but the freedom is the best thing ever. Do what you want when you want. We do count ourselves to be very fortunate that we were able to retire at 57 and able to enjoy our lives now when we can. There was times in the first year when we thought Mr Eggy wouldn’t pull through, but here he is all fixed ( sort of) and building greenhouses! If he stayed at work who knows?A nice round 5.0 this morning for me. Liking this new sensor already!
Well, did the deed yesterday and resigned from work to start my retirement from next March. Scary stuff as it is very definitely the end of an era but the start of a new chapter. Australian holiday all booked from mid March to kick off our new era, exciting times!
In the meantime back to work today as normal.
@MikeyBikey - hope you’re ok and haven’t picked up the lurgy!
Have a good day everyone!
