Actually looks like he's going back to do PHD, but we're not sure what we did before he was at home all the time, his days are filled with form filling with kids' sports and carpools. Still its a great time for the kids. Sounds like you have loads more projects in the mix! How exciting about the California thing!About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086277371785914704.post-7285033809787994462015-01-01T23:06:18.158+00:002015-01-01T23:06:18.158+00:00Both look absolutely splendid, but if they need fi...Both look absolutely splendid, but if they need fixin' then you've got a project!

If...Happy New Year to Thud and mrs Thud and family.<br />If your unemployed you will soon find a job, if your retired you will wonder how you fitted work side by side with the other things you did, retiring is a continuation of work except you end up "volunteering" your expertise to projects you never had time to do when working, your problem will be visiting public buildings on your travels with mrs Thud and family and not getting involved in getting volunteered to help, I do know a lovely local Napoleonic fort in New Brighton that needs your expertise in stone, but stay far away from the place as it will end up in a job for life, with all this planned "free" time come and see some "volunteers" on the BAR Lightship PLANET in Canning dock next to the Strand in Liverpool and have a tea or coffee with us, Tuesday or Friday as retirement keeps us busy with other things the other days of the week. <br />Albertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086277371785914704.post-827369984143385892014-12-31T21:25:14.341+00:002014-12-31T21:25:14.341+00:00Thud, I've always admired your lifestyle, and ...Thud, I've always admired your lifestyle, and congratulate you on getting this far!<br /><br />I just cannot pick up an electric saw without wondering what you might do at that particular moment, and your design skills are second to none!<br /><br />No doubt, you're saying you'll retire, but already, your eye is on the next project!<br /><br />My projects are lining up as I speak, as I finally retired today as well, and the jobs are in the pipeline just now!<br /><br />Tomorrow, I dismantle my desk, which will be a huge occasion! I'm making tables and shelves from the timber, and reorganising my old office back into a bedroom, for when the grandchildren come to stay, and there will be much love and design put into all this, much as you have done for your dear Mum, who somehow, I identify with as a lovely lady - especially as she has such a grand home to live in at The Bothy which you have charmed from a small shed!<br /><br />Good luck to all of you for 2015; you are a lucky and talented man and with such a fond family, I couldn't consider a better thought than you all enjoying the big jump into 2015!<br /><br />Best wishes to you all!Sen.
