BLOG RETURN

As with all my previous efforts at diary writing this one stalled back in 2007. Still at work, though due to a couple of sad events in the last year which have reminded me of my mortality, I have decided to "retire" at the end of May.

Since I last added a post I have bought and sold a few Puchs and Honda C90's. I purchased the very tidy and original Puch MV50 registered PHR 658M pictured a short while ago. If you know who owned it before let me know. For some reason it seized when I took it out after passing the MOT and I will shortly be fitting a new barrel and piston.

Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again.

A bit worried about retirement. Will we be able to manage on the money? Will I be able to survive without the structure of work? Will I ever speak to anyone again who is not a family member (and they don't speak to me anyway). Am I a nobody without a job (or even with a job)? What will I do (I know Susan will suggest loads of things but none of them will appeal)?

We'll see.
