O.T. but RETIREMENT arrived half an hour ago.

The big day has arrived. My back pack vacuum cleaner is hung up, the mop bucket has been emptied, the mop was given to my least favourite customer & I told them to jam it where it fits best.! It had a long one inch handle that was starting to splinter & it gave me a great deal of pleasure to deviate from "the customer is always right" thingo!!
My twin cab ute will be emptied in the morning of all other bits & pieces of cleaning crap. The caravan checked for the final time, ute polished,tyres blackened, a bit of Mr sheen on the tow ball & all will be ready for the great adventure.
But....... only to be told by SHMBI that the van is going to stay parked for the time being as she wants to go to New Zealand!! She has spoken. I have been told. It's one of them Coach things, driver with a cap driving the bloody thing,pointing out all the interesting bits. Pile off here, Pile off there, do what you are told affairs.
No stopping at a pub now & then for a beer. Oh No, only stopping at arty farty little pooftery places for tea & scones now & then. I will probably end up sitting next to another old geezer who will be extrolling the virtues of how lovely it all is & setting a bad example for all the rest of us old geezers. Spare me please. LOL
Our son & his wife have been picking up the reins of our business since the end of the March quarter & the time to quietly go has at last arrived.
I just wanted to Shout out about, so thanks for "listening" & Cheers
