What are you doing today??

And and another thing if i had stayed behind and unwrapped the rest of it i would have run off when i saw what would have resembled road kill I was far too young for that malarky

   x

First job drop Janet at work, then paper shop, tea and toast, then roofer coming back at 9 to measure up the garage roof next door, he's keen but i doubt he will get the job, I have an estimate already for a steel box profile job . Dunno yet ?
then a bit more tree work and general tidy up,
Couple of cars to shift about, job to price then back to base to regroup,

Nowt today before 3 solid weeks. Might even have to work on Sundays

I see Cam has been spending his money.it looks okay lol.It is his lamp and his choice for the shade. Only been waiting a long time to be able to use it. 
Trust him to beak it

Got a phone call out of the blue this morning from a local painter. He wants me to help him as and when I can. Told him it would only be part time as I have my own customers and more importantly, some days I have to do the school runs. "Doesn't matter" he said, come and go as you please, just let me know the day before". this suits me down to the ground. 75% of the work is within a 10 min drive of home. AND, he said , if I only work from 09:30 to 14:30 ( i.e. 5 hrs, he would put 100 euro into my hand ). FFS, thats more than what I charge myself!! sounds too good to be true but we'll see anyhow.

HMRC

Why would he want to pay tax in the UK if he don't want to pay it in Ireland...

4 hours work is enough for me. My body gets tired and then the mind goes. Strange really, I can drink for 4 hours easy.   My daughter turned up to drag my van out of the pit with her flash big Audi, permanent 4 wheel drive apparently. Piece of piss. Guess the Range Rover is ill again. Heap of shite. Second one he has had, you think people would learn.   Noticed the van was leaking after I pulled it out, diesel leak-off pipes, again. Replaced them about a year ago so feck knows. Tightened up fan belt too while I had the engine cover off, screeching noise cured.  Cut some marine ply and done some sanding. Amount earned today? Zero probably. Same as usual. 

Today 4 0ld gits head for the Lake District, we will do lunch in the Bluebird cafe by Coniston then if it isnt raining we will hire a boat and sail around the lake, a jolly time will be had by all,
We are off in the 4.4 TD Range Rover that wont break down because you get what you pay for 

Have not decided if to visit the market yet. Need to buy a prissy for Macie.I was cold last night and could not get warm. Found out daughter had left the patio door open on the side we never use and I did not know as the blinds were closed.

guaranteed some calamity will happen

Just waiting for them to show up, I shall ask if they had put their creams on and taken the medication, and i bet as we leave the street one will say "are we there yet" and all burst out laughing,

Waiting for them to turn up, they are driving to Reg first but live in the Lake District......Irish probably

Lemmings.

It's not us jumping off the Brexit cliff...

It is! Ye are the back half of the horse doing the jumping. where the head goes, the tail must follow.

So i turned 3 corners and Richard says "Are we there yet" that isnt the funny bit, because we know each other inside out we knew it was coming, that is the funny bit  ,
So laughter all the way, as i pulled up in the car park they all jump out and run off thinking you paid then, I caught up with them in the cafe, there all giggeling thinking i have just been fleeced,
we sat down and had lunch, i mentioned Richards sports jacket and took the piss, Geof joined in when he should have kept quiet because he had a white V neck jumper on and looked like he was batting at lords, thats how it went, off to the boat house with Richard crying he donsnt want to go on a boat around the lake, we beat him up and forced him in to it, I asked can we have life jackts, the lad said its compulsary, Richard the rebel said i dont want one, so the lad said your not going then, Richard said good i dont want to anyway, so he got ruffed up again, the lad was killing himself laughing as we forced Richard into his jacket and marched him to the boat, i had already clocked the XL on the front but waited until we set sail, then he got the you fat bastardo chant, he sulked and looked the other way for 10 minutes,
George said can i drive, i said you dont drive a boat you skipper it, he said feck off out of the way or your over board, so we had a scrap and the boat was all over the place, Geof was screaming carefull i said this is about where Campbell bought it, that made it worse, Geof look ed terrified which made us do it all the more,  what a scream we had today,
Richard found the button for the heated seats in the back and cranked his up, Geof turned his the wrong was and froze his arse off , talk about school kids, whats this do whats that do,  one of those days you remember  Fab fab day,

Pissed myself at that Reg! Life's too short to be serious pal!

Sounds like you had a great day Reg x

I'm blessed with never doing serious, something i did learn at school, feck them and feck it
