Today, during my lunch break, I am popping to my Wonderful Mother's to let the dog out to go about its natural business. She won't be there because the pair of them (Super Step Dad) have gone off galivanting along the Royal River Thames for the day and the better part of early evening. They're going to 'have it large' on a boat to Windsor and back.

I wouldn't mind this so much if it was one of those flash in the pan occasions but it is getting to become a bit of a habit.Instead of a couple of shy and retiring retired people they go out more than I do and have a social circle wider than the M25. Long gone is the image of pensioners knitting tea cosies and sucking on a Worthers Originals. No, now it's Salsa dancing and Margharitas! Blimming Golden Girls........It will be different for me of course, the ladyfriend and I will be working till we are seventy, probably on some God forsaken production line inserting microchips into embryos......
