Thrills to come this autumn!

[mumsisdaughter]

Gav is going south for 4 days to play trains. He has a steam engine for 7 and a quarter inch gauge track. Yawn.

So tomorrow I am going first class on a standard gauge diesel train to York for 6 days R&R with Jenn and Mark. Yeah! They both have taken time off work so we can do all sorts of touristy things and she can spend my money.

Return 28th.
29th going to see  'Vampires Rock' in Southport with sister, Yvonne. Should be great fun.

1st October, brother and family coming for a weekend visit to see Mum and Dad so I've managed to gather 10 of those that missed the last retirement meal to meet on 2nd for an afternoon meal then 7 of us are going to Southport for the evening for the Annual British Musical Fireworks Competition. Seven firework teams will be competing--should be fantastic!

8th Gav and I will be going to Liverpool Empire to see 'The Rocky Horror Show'. Love that show. Must have seen it half a dozen times over the years. Brad--Asshole! Janet--Slut!

More to come in November. :D

Sounds like some fun times ahead!Don't forget to bring your toast to RHPS!

Every time I've watched a live performance, the doormen have checked all bags for 'props' that could be thrown on the stage. Mars bars and newspapers are fun too :)

Sounds like a great time (although I wouldn't mind playing with trains. I love model trains).

Sounds like your dance card is full!

Oh, tsk, tsk, they are not 'model' trains (I have had that drummed into me over the years). They are large enough to pull those coaches that passengers straddle and can pull four or five of those, carrying between 20 and 30 people. Yes, he'll have a whale of a time. If he'd been going to Scotland, as he has done every other year, while I've had to work in school, I would have gone with him for the scenery and walking but no! This year the gang of enthusuasts he's with are going to Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham. No contest. York beckons.

Thank you! Hair is wet atm and will be waking himself with a cup of tea shortly. He's taking me to Liverpool for the 13:22 train. Yippee! Will be in charge of CAPSLOCK FRIDAY tomorrow. See you there. :)

And folk asked me before this, 'Won't you be bored?' What?!*

Read those (if not already done) and you won't be able to watch Frank and Rocky anymore without very disturbing visions clouding your mind ...

I see what you mean about the "won't you get bored ?" thing. I always got twa.. *cough* people at work moaning about having to take their remaining holidays, or saying their did some work for the job at night because they were bored ! It used to puzzle me when I was young and innocent, because I was always so frustrated about my own To Do list, but now I'm just used to it. Listening to kitchen conversations, it seems that most people are interested in virtually nothing, so it kind of makes sense in a twisted way that they don't know what to do with their time!

Anyway, retirement sounds like a cool job to me, enjoy it :)

Thank you so much for the links. I hadn't read these before. Such fun!

I know what you mean about those folk who have nothing to do. I'm one of those whose house illustrates their interests: books, games, dragon figures etc. Sometimes, I visit houses that are so spick and span they look like show homes and I wonder where the books are. Can someone have a life if they have no books?

Retirement is making me feel so young!
