Re: Shrink-wrapped Seafarers...
Didn't make the bed last night and don't think will make tonight cappy. All day she"s spent putting the knick Knacks back and cant be bothered to make up the bed today. Tomorrow its back to the Physio hopefully to be signed off. Next day to another Hospital for something else. Spend most of the times visiting hospitals and their expensive car parks. Going out tonight and again on Friday, Gwen has clothes she buys and keeps in wardrobes for months before wearing, she tells me off if I go out and buy clothes I put them on straight away before I grow out of them. Hope she doesn't take the same attitude with the new bed and say we"ll use the other 3 first. People get funny as they get older they say. Not of course us, same as the day we were born. Still got all my hair pity about the teeth eyes and ears, wont mention the other parts might get people jealous. Anyhow the new bed is an Australian King Size and the suite was about half of what it should have been, so got my money out of it in the finish as got a proper carpenter in and the manager as labourer, think he was a bit shell shocked when he left last night. Shouldn't mess with geordies. The home I have now I bought the land and this Singaporean was selling for his company of same origin. this was 2001 he wanted 90,000 dollars for it so I talked him down to 69000 dollars for cash. Which he finally accepted. He came back a month later after I had started to build and begged me not to tell anyone else how much I had paid, he also said I"ve never bartered with a person like you before. Off he went and I told all my would be neighbours how much I paid, so he must have had a rough time after. I don't believe in keeping secrets. The blocks now along the street and half the size are going for 300,000 dollars. I don't hide any money I should have in a Panama Bank. Also always paid my legal taxes. I may go to a paupers grave, but whos to worry. Hope you've roped in all those runaway gypsies by now, or is that being racist. Cheers John S
