I’m on my second apple juice! Missus fell in the front garden whilst I was in the backyard, she’s unsteady on her feet at the best of times, She’d been lying on the lawn unable to get up as I couldn’t hear her calling, the next door neighbour heard her calling & came to help her.
She’s busted her lip & nose & got an egg on her forehead from the fall, she’ll be black & blue tomorrow.
She doesn’t want to go to A&E, so I’ve cleaned her up & she’s watching TV as I type.
Cheers blue_estate, I was going to go upstairs to the mancave to drive some trains on TSW6, but I’m wife sitting, It’s hard work as my missus hearing is pants & the volume of the telly is turned up to 10.
Wekend up to press.
I’m actually back in room now showered and on bed at 10pm😳…
Jeez I MUST be getting old after all, this was the time we used to gan out ffs.
Nah, had a busy day playing tourists, boat trips, guided tours etc, walks, and ended with a day in a scenic riverside bar on the Polish beer.
Good weekend.
So we have an early flight back to Newcastle tomorrow,… so for once we are being sensible…(for a change.)
Just treated myself to a 60’’ Toshiba to watch the football on, fitted on wall above fireplace. …World Cup next year etc.
Wife complains tv is too big…women just don’t understand.
She says it’s like being at the cinema, so told her I’m buying her one of those old style trays to wear round her neck so she can serve me ice cream at half time.
She didn’t appreciate it.
My wife now has hearing aids , me , do you want a cup of tea , her , yes I had a good day at work , me , the cats at the door , her , home & away starts at 6.30 ,
Though my girl apparently said yesterday do you want a couple of biscuits with your cup of tea to me , me , I’ll be going up for a shower in a min when I’ve seen football scores
It’s part of growing old , we do have a laugh about it all
My missus is exactly the same, Our TV’s in the living room & conservatory are small by today’s standards, 43” & that was a struggle to get them as she was saying they’re too big.
What I think would be well within the scope of modern tech would be to have 2 pairs of headphones connected at the same time, so if you are both watching but one of you needs a bit of a sound boost, you have control.
It might be an option now, but it isn’t on anything I own.
We have got a high sense, forty two inch, smart tv, one of the best things we ever bought. Spent the last two saturday watching youtube videos, the of swiss railway journeys, most of them cab views and the filmer has done most in 4k
It’s a state of mind mate, if you wanna be old and you act old.. yer old…end of.
Some lads I used to go to school with were like old men 30 years ago ffs…or acted it.
I aint started dressing like me Dad yet, on other hand I can’t get away with a pair of skinny jeans anymore, it’s all about getting the balance right.
My lovely Mrs keeps me young anyhoo, although she says I am getting grumpy…like waiting here at a bloody airport.
Best to burn yourself out out than to rust away.
(And I aint talking about doing it stress wise in an effin truck either.)
Kinell! I feel like Cinderella, washing machines on the second load, the tumble driers on, pork chops & roast taters are in the oven, the cats have been argy-bargying for reason & there’s bloody fur all over the carpet, so I’ll be hoovering up shortly, Missus won’t be up to doing owt for a while & just put the car on charge & I’m looking at a cold apple juice in the fridge already.
It’s a good job that British Gas leccys half price today.
Nice one, I love meatballs. I’ve just taken some pork mince out of the freezer & I’ll be making sausage rolls later. That will get me many brownie points.
It’s not a state of mind when you’ve been married 65 years (like wot I have), we actually been together for 68 years, we were ‘practising’ for the first 3 years, and then in a moment of alcohol fuelled madness I graciously agreed to take her on full time. The poor old dear has got Alzheimers now…it’s difficult, but between us we cope quite well.
5ft tall, weighs 41kg, eats normally, drinks like a rugby prop forward, she can’t put weight on.
But we’re still in love.
