DH has gone out to play...

I don't know Galen. I think it's just a boat. I don't look at it.

He only does boats when the field is flooded and they can't fly their planes.

Out bags.

bags I'm keeping a beady eye on you.

What does he have? We have a very active club here. They split into two
1 model racing yachts which is very competitive
2 model boats, including a talking, steaming, water firing dragon.

Oh yes. He built them Galen. In his shed.

merlot I don't feel so bad now, knowing I'm not the only one suffering.

glamma you live somewhere very exciting! DH would love that.He would be there begging to get on board at every launch.

Tegan he would most probably get me down there to help retrieve it. With welly boots. I have risked life and limb for a model aeroplane before now.

(ok! slight exagerration. But only slight)

Mr P is currently deep cleaning the bathroom.

(I suppose that makes it sound as if it was filthy!)

Tegan our boating lake is right opposite the RNLI slipway so they are OK for rescue.

What happens with a model boat if it breaks down whilst out in the middle of a lake? My son was very into radio controlled cars and boats but he didn't get to use the boat much. Do you have to get a radio controlled rescue boat to bring it back?

jings Very serious business are model boats,we have a reasonable sized model boating lake here at New Brighton and it seems to be a very exclusive club. hoping your hubby enjoys his time with his boat.

I feel the same every Monday when DH goes fishing with his friends. I'm up early making sandwiches, flask etc., making sure he's got his woolly hat, glasses, mobile, scarf.....Honestly, it's like sending a kid off on a school trip!

As soon as he's out of the house I make a cup of coffee and stick the washing on. Then it's a choice of hoovering, ironing, shopping, cooking, cleaning out the stove.....the list goes on. The dogs then need a walk.

At about 3pm I get a phone call telling me when and where to pick him up. He's always tired and a bit grumpy so this Stepford Wife has the fire lit and a meal at the ready.

Retirement????

Snap about the dusting and hoovering whole house malarky. However, I have listened to a builder about what needs to be done with our leaky wall. He did NOT suck his teeth. I've been to the pharmacy for the third time this week to collect a prescription of antibiotics , which they didn't have the first time and which had been snapped up by more urgent cases than mine the second time, for a slightly sore toe!! It has been sore for a few months, admittedly. This is only the second time in my entire life I've needed an antibiotic. I've shredded some more eucalyptus greenery and split some logs and added them to my eucalyptus wood pile. There's still about nine tenths of the tree to do.

The dusting and hoovering can wait some more. Might even rope Minibags in to do some >>> Plan!

Model boats are fun. Radio controlled I expect. Did he build them himself?

At least he's out of the house Jingl make the most of the peace and quiet.

OR... ignore me. Probably best.

Well, I totally cocked that up did n't I.

Work it out.
