Wife took the rage and the only thing she could find to tidy it up was the paint we used for wee Billy’s bedroom. Looks great now tbf. I was creosoting my fence a good few years back - my neighbour had just done his side. They were overlapping panels and I decided to turn the panels upside down to do my side. He was not amused. I didn't feel too bad seeing as he'd painted his side green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Taken me two days of soaking before I could get my fence painting brush into condition. Was hoping it would take a week at least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to work better if you put into google. Mentalhealth.org looking after your mental health during.

tamthebam Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I felt like going the full Peter Finch this morning, opening the window and shouting "I'm mad as hell" etc. Didn't. Just used the frustration to do some tidying instead. Made some soup and now I'm lazing about like a well fed cat. Tomorrow: repeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that was interesting. not quite as exotic, but mine is exactly the same shape as the US state of Colorado and very similar to Wyoming too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This thread should be interesting reading if the lockdown is extended by a further three weeks. As an aside, this experience has given me a little insight into what retirement might look like and it’s not good. OK we won’t have restrictions like we do now but getting up every morning with nothing ‘essential’ to do is not looking too appealing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know who has retired says they cant remember how they managed to squeeze in a full time job. Some of the ones who were dedicated to working openly admit regret at having worked too long. The worst thing I can say about folk who don't opt to take a retirement once they can afford to is that I pity them, more than I pity any other group of people, at having reached that stage in life with their life still being so empty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
