Renting a car and heading up the Pyrenees for a look shortly.

Driving up the side of the pyranees with 3 young kids in a left hand drive and the hate beating off the windscreen and cyclists and motor homes everywhere sounds like just the thing to bring down the blood pressure and repair marital relations

The kids whining non-stop cos they’ve been dragged away from the pool for the day

My lovely wife is currently suffering with the covid and is in a self imposed isolation in the spare room. The “patients bell” has been replaced by her phone. I got a message this morning after I’d spent an hour dressing and feeding the kids and pulling together the variety of acrutrements needed for school sports day suggesting the young lad was wearing a jacket that was a bit too warm and I should reconsider…clearly she was doing a recce out the window to make sure I’d done the job right

Id be afraid of starting a row with that sort of interference

An oul pal called in earlier; an incorrigible rouge, great businessman, deadly man for the ladies…a decent, open hearted, generous soul at the bottom of it all. He left the wife a few years ago- kids were reared and he couldn’t stick another day of confinement… of course he’d been absolutely faithful, in his own way. He set her up nicely and went on his very merry way

Despite his faithfulness he’d been having regular dalliances with a local girl- nothing in particular to be said for her imho, other than looks, a high handed manner and some notions.
Anyhow, he buys himself a nice old dishevelled farmhouse with twenty acres, renovates it and turns it into a a gem of a place. In moves yer woman. By accident or design she creates a little jealousy by keeping her old house. He professes love and tells her to sell it and move in with him permanently. Following some (token?) resistance she does so- but not before extracting some guarantee that, after seven years of togetherness, she’ll co-own everything…this is in or around two years ago. So there’s the two of them sitting pretty with his extensive property portfolio, and a new des res.

Anyhow. Christmas day. My mate overhears her mother chiding her for selling her house. She assures her mother that all ‘this’ will be hers in two years. The mother reminds her that it’s seven years…the daughter however assures her that the seven years of togetherness started from their first dalliance.
My mate is scrambling to find the ejector button.

He had it all and risked it.

@glenshane

chiding

Never heard that word before. I can make out what you mean but a first for me.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Time for a younger model. Is it in writing that she has a claim?

[habanerocat]

Twenty acres. Be the holy….

Chiding. It’s what comes after the riding.

The great thing about having fuck all, is you never need to worry about losing it or that anyone is with you for it

This phrase always amuses me.
