The joys of getting old (er)

Postby JanB » 06 Dec 2019, 19:27

We've decided that we are fitter and do more work in the winter than we do in the summer.

In the summer, we swim, 100 lengths for me, very day :D But then it's too hot to do anything else, so we sit and do nowt. And drink beer :oops: :lol:

Today, I've fed all the plants - think an acre of land 8-) walked down the drive - 250 metres, weeding, then down to the track, another 250 metres, and back. Then did the land between us and where our nice neighbours used to be. Walked back, weeding. Then, with help as Grumpy felt sorry for me :oops: weeded the veggie garden.

Sorted out the wood for the fire, went to the field next door and picked up a load of estevas, also picked up a load of stones, for next to the car port, walked down to the ruin and sorted out a load of stone there.

When I sat down, I wondered why I ached, trying to get up :oops: :lol:

So we went for a beer :oops: :lol:

And I didn't do the figure properly, it's 250 metres, I just changed it.

And those blasted dogs have barked day :evil: :evil: :evil: He'll move them in about 2 hours, then move them back at 7.00 tomorrow :evil:
