Introduction
« on: October 21, 2016, 06:10:13 PM »
Hi y'all! This is a message to say hi and provide a brief backstory. I'm a long time friend of Walkie, who feels that I might fit in around here (wondering). In a few words; I'm retired, but still do stuff, have done a few jobs but have no profession, am single and have lived alone for 42 years (clue?), love cats and have kept two, enjoy reading about religion and the mystical in its widest sense, live with 16 teddy bears (subject to census), have developed a leaning towards romcoms as my favourite movie genre, drive an old car, enjoy trains - planes - automobiles very much (but hate buses). I like a lot of music, but NOT classical, and have a yen for reading time travel, paranormal, and romantic fiction ebooks in bed. Nearing two years into retirement, and having been forced to do so because of ill health, I am a bit disappointed not to have thrown off health issues and wondering where it all goes next! I have few friends in the locality, but more at some (great) distance. I bloomed very late, largely as I only figured myself out...much too late.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

If your avatar is David Boreanaz, you're okay in my book.

Welcome.  You say you've lived alone for 42 years, does that mean you're in your 60's?  We could use a few more grey hairs around here.

Never fear, Teddybear. Hyke hasn't coralled us all in her backyard  and seared the "Property of Hyke" brand into our foreheads (:apondering: or at least , if she has, she missed me out) . She is referring to this thread.

You also need to look at my British meet-up thread

Hi Everyone, and thanks for the messages of welcome!

I am in the middle of the final three hectic days of preparation for a visitor from afar, which has motivated me to the most comprehensive cleaning and decluttering of my flat for ages (well, six years anyway). This has been difficult, especially when one has a "thing" about dirt and dust etc. I have actually taken down and washed curtains for the first time in....not telling. Last night, taking down a "dead" blind that was beyond cleaning, I quite overdid things and felt quite unsteady, also not welcome for the single householder.

This afternoon, my poor old car refused to start and left me quite nonplussed, especially as it is due to go back the the garage tomorrow for a tick over problem that has appeared after the cam belt was replaced. Tonight's problem was a discharged (and apparently expired) battery, which the breakdown service diagnosed whilst restarting and adjusting the idling. I am praying that I get restarted in the morning after a run tonight so that she can reach a battery supplier and later the other garage....

The next ten days will be filled with my favourite occupation of being a "tour guide" and getting to revisit historical sites that I love, tailored to my friend's penchant for the Tudor period and mine generally for the historical towns and villages of Warwickshire.  I might find the odd tale to recount.. hopefully more fascinating than my domestic crises - maybe about supplier  Tudor Life exhibit...
