If you get a call from these people, think long & hard before signing up with them.
That's the bad out of the way
I turned 65 back in January I now have a job for life, paid by the government to stay away from work. Yet another of life's ambitions achieved . I started celebrating around Jan'12th by replacing my Saab 900s with a Mondeo XL (or is it LX? They're all the same to me) 4yrs old with a free 3yr warranty thrown in. I reckon that should see me through. To carry on the celebrations we spent a 4 night stay at Bodelwyddan Castle A Warner's Hotel break half board. We had a good time there swimming, walking even a touch of archery. I promised the guys there that if I called again, I would bring my archery gear & show them some proper gear
Sometime last year we booked a holiday inTenerife for a week on a one-way ticket. we were to depart 1st February 06;00 flight from E Mid's airport. the idea was we did not know when to come back home, or even from where. In December we got in touch with RCI (We have a time-share points thing with them) asking if there was anything available for February. There was, two weeks in Gran Canaria, in two hotels, we booked them then & there. On our first week at a fantastic hotel (we up-graded to half board), we were watching the weather on BBC & ITV Central East. We then decided that we would not return home until March 2nd, Monday flight to E' Mid's airport, so we booked a third hotel on the island at Playa del Ingles. We missed all the bad weather I'm pleased to say but it was pretty cold for us when we got back. We had temperatures up 30 or more at times it must have been about 10 when we got back warm for you maybe, but we had grown used to the better life.
Oh well, back to the grind I suppose, bills to pay, holidays to save for (We're off to Bodelwyddan again in September for our 38th anniversary) walking groups to shepherd around, archery gear to sort out like new strings & arrows. Oh, & get rid of the Saab if I can find a buyer. I have also got a massive task to sort out in the back garden, but that as they say, is another story. Cheers
P.S. I forgot to mention, I treated myself to a new MP4 player Sony Walkman 8Gb. Seems a good tool so far. All I have to do now is to sort out the little bits like not duplicating tunes in the music files. Yup, the best 65th birthday I've had.
