I have been thinking

[computedshorty]

I have been thinking of buying myself a 82nd birthday present next friday just to get me and the wife about.

Dont trust a Buggy as if the battery runs out I could not get it home so I have looked into an electric Bilke if that battery runs out I can peddle it home. I might give this Pope Mobile a try, it seems just the job for shopping,and I can put my Zimmmer in it, and the dog can sleep in it.

I wonder if I will have to wear a helmet?

HAppy Birthday, great idea!!

Thanks for your Birthday wishes.

The wife is part exchanging my old hand pulled carriage as she finds it a bit tiring, for the more suitable coffin carriage, when the time comes just take me there and you can sell the chassis for a few drinks.

Just found this thread. Happy Birthday Shorty.

Keep on thinking. Clearly you've used it and not lost it!

Hi Shorty,

Just seen the thread, what a laugh. Happy Birthday and many more.

How is your wife getting on with the new extra long ladder you bought her for Christmas so she does not have to stretch so far when cleaning the gutters and windows, my wife love's hers, I think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am spoiling her now, I am buying her a wheelbarrow, so that she does not have to carry the concrete she has mixed to the back of the garden to lay the foundations for the new 20 foot by 12 foot shed I am buying.

Any other ideas for presents I should buy her.

Hope you are having, or had a great "Birthday", depending on when you read this.

Belated Birthday greetings Shorty. Hope you had a great Birthday and that you and Mrs Shorty had a wonderful time celebrating!

Good to hear that there are others that alow their other half to get involved, here Mrs Shorty helps me put up the roof trusses in the bungalow we built.

She likes being on the top scaffold to do the painting, I had to make the tea.

Never stop a willing hand.
