@Velociraptor enjoying the thought of you singing round the empty house. I also retired first but I'm not so good on my own and got rather bored. Much better now we are both retired. I've just been visiting my daughter and prepping her house for sale. It's staggering how much stuff she has accumulated in a few years. Young people seem to be prone to buying things on the Internet that they don't really need. |

That's our garage at the moment. Am fed up with clearing and tidying it as it just encourages the menfolk to fill it up again

That's my garage, but it's mostly stuff belonging to sons that's in there. Eldest son told me that the box full of primary school homework and such will be useful to his future biographer

[That's optimistic, @Cerrertonia! Does he have a loft of his own in his immediate future?] |

That's not our garage, but the conservatory doesn't bear thinking about.
