Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

Well, did the boot sale-----two pairs of work gloves at a quid a pair---liked these because they did not have canvas backs----when I am grinding sparks burn clean through to the skin and I tend to hop about a bit when that happens, these are rubber back and front.
Not much thrilled me out there today ' cept a box of pipe threaders which I bought for £4, gave 'em a quick once over and a Wilson tickle----should make £30 with a fair trade wind? Got a bid on ebay already, how 'bout that.
Last day of the kids today, Jilly took them to the Flying Fortress yet again, another hour in the pool and I can put the covers on till the next batch of relations come rushing in
Sam is threatening to buy me a BUSINESS CLASS ticket to Orlando----told her I had never flown first class to anywhere-----she reckons it's time I did. Won't hold my breath ---just play the hand that's dealt!!!
Not a lot to tell you so thought I might show you some of Jilly's sweet peas she grows---she's been picking 'em now every day for about six weeks-----she's an avid gardener-----me----I sometimes stop and smell the roses.
If I don't get whiskey tired again ----May give you a shout tonight
The rag and stick brigade finally started the "Round Britain Race" on Tuesday .
The Fastnet race is under way-----lifeboats will be called anytime soon.
