'Er indoors is retiring.

[Burnerman]

It could be the end of freedom as I know it
Mrs B, at the tender age of 58, is finishing work in a few days time.
Being the worlds greatest potterer, I have no problem occupying my time but as for the good lady, well.....she shows no enthusiasm at my suggestion of polishing the manhole covers or painting the plastic gutters.
What am I to do - apart from keeping my head down?

Encourage her to join the 'One-o-clock Club'!

(You'll know what I mean if you watch Coronation Street.)

Ok , for those of us that don't watch soaps what is the " one-o-clock Club"?

According to Roy Cropper's mum, it's where old crinkleys go to pass the time until they die.

Chop her in for a younger model:

Less mileage
Better body work
Warranty

Sorry John we are talking about your old banger!

Oh right, I'd imagined it was refering to something more , er, physical I'll just go and wash my mind out.

All comments appreciated, ladies and gentlemen
Most of them will be passed on.....
It seems that there could be a reprieve for me.....the lady in question intends to become a consultant and set up on her own (specialising in providing the public sector with broadband connections, and the e-support that goes with it) so its likely that I will -
A) Be able to continue with my many and varied grease monkey hobbies
B) Avoid standing in a shopping precinct selling the 'Big Issue'
C) Postpone the weeky visit to a garden centre
Have a good evening, everyone!

Will need a hobby, have a look at doing stained glass and copper foiling course, it's a fantastic fun hobby.

I second that. I took it up when I retired last year.
