At yor age Harry, donāt you think itās about time you threw in the towel, 
and settled down to your rocking chair sipping malt whisky? 
You will have to tell your familly to stop wearing you out. 
A lot of the women reckon they can multi-task Norm, but Harry is way ahead of them.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave, not too good at the cooker can manage to boil a couple of eggs en-route to conjuring
up a salad, but that is just about my limit, Ohā and I make a canny cuppa, should I ever have
to fend for myself Iām afraid I would need the help of meals on wheels, or a housekeeper.
thanks harry, long retired.
I can cook a bit like you Harry, just the routine things. Have had spells on my own could get bacon & beans etc, but lived at the local snack van or the Lazy Trout Cafe half the time.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Donāt think my old woman would let me near the frying pan Dave, I would more than likely
burn the place down, so she draws the line at letting become too technical in the kitchen.
thanks harry, long retired.

hiya,
Dave thereās an old Geordie saying which I learned early on my arrival in this part of the
world over 40 years ago and it goes something like upstairs for thinking, downstairs for
dancing, and I have never danced a step in my life, another example of putting this into
practice was when she āletā me decorate the living room, āwhat a messā and she let me
know it but has never allowed me near a paint brush since that āattemptā it cost me Ā£60
for a decorator to come and do it properly and she still knows somebody whoāll do it for
the same money, that was the best investment I ever made, do you know my Old Girl
loves telling her friends Iām the worst ādo it yourselferā there ever was, praise indeed.I
know of one occasion she likes to talk about was when she bought a new toilet paper
thingy that needed fixing to the wall, well first tug on the paper it fell off and she even
thinks she upsets me when telling her buddies about my failings she usually ends with itās
not funny she must detect Iām ā ā ā ā ā ā ā myself laughing while keeping a straight face.
thanks harry, long retired.
Canāt do much DIY myself either, which is annoying, because quite a few of the jobs I could have done myselfā¦if I hadnāt had an accident. Never mind Iām still breathing.
Cheers Dave.
Yes a nice colourful well tended garden looks great. Our garden is kept tidy and there are some nice flowers around the place.
Keeps the place looking cheerful.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Like Iāve said on previous posts my garden is completely gravelled but the weeds
still show through and I paid extra for a special membrane to be laid below the
gravel to prevent weeds, but they still get through if I had my way Iād concrete
the lot and if it was bigger turn it into a go-cart track the neighbours would be
over the moon if I did that.

Another bright idea bit the dust? So Iā m off on the train to Euston ,then Kings Cross to Darlington, then a short hop to Richmond, sorry Harry canāt do your washer on your tap, no tools with me!
hiya,
Ahā well another case of just canāt get the staff and thatās the lamest excuse
Iāve ever heard āgot no tools with meā thereās enough pockets in a wedding
suit to carry enough gear to washer a bleedin tap, anyway Iāve done it,
have a nice stay in Gods country both of you and remember to carry your
passports, youāll find great difficulty getting into Richmond without them.
thanks harry, long retired.
It will be rich man in Richmond Harry, when Norm arrives.
Cheers Dave.

The wedding went down well, it was a posh do, today I took my wife for a meal at The Turf Hotel pub, it ws the best meal I have tasted for a long long time. Ordered a roast lamb dinner ( large) I had Steak & ale pie, saute potatoās in cheese with four veg, broccolli, red cabbage, swede,and carrots (small), god knows what the large one was like! 
Every mouthful was a explosion of taste, I told the waitress to tell the cook that they must have magical hands. How is your meal Anne, grand she said, I like this better than the posh wedding meal, so did I was my reply.

hiya,
Took the Missus out for a meal the first establishment we entered did childrenās
meals chicken nuggets and that sort of thing I asked for a half portion of the
menu (my wife can eat normal portions) but Iām restricted with my intake and
a half portion is normally more than I can eat, Oh yes the chef will put you a
half portion out but it will be at full portion price, two drinks were quickly put
away and we moved to another pub where we had two Sunday lunch type meals
my wifeās normal meal cost Ā£4.50 including a drink my meal (which was more
than I could eat cost Ā£2.25 with a glass of Cola I could have had beer for a total
cost of Ā£3.00, and some pubs wonder why they are losing customers, the first
one I tried has certainly seen the last of me.
thanks harry, long retired.
No Norman I canāt, but we can on yours!
