Big change in life

[Skil Phil]

Hi All,
Have been missing for a long time.
Had to sell the house and shop and machines and have moved in at my sisters place.
Converted the garage into a flatlet. Room for a bed and kitchenette. No room for tools.
Such is life. Downgraded on many levels because this government has stuffed up so much.
Without the tools and will do do much I consider myself officially retired.
Will see hows it goes. Hands are still twitching.
Cheers
Phil

Phil, sorry to hear all that. You have a good sister putting you up.
Maybe there will be a Men's Shed nearby, or a friendly neighbour with a workshop.

Illegitimi non carborundum!!!

Very sorry to hear that Phil.

At least you’re still healthy and have a loving family with you. I’m somewhat scared of retirement as wife keeps hinting about it.

Sorry to hear your bad news. Check if any Mens Sheds in the area. It originally started in Australia but is now worldwide. There are about six near where I live in Northern Ireland, but all don't have lathes. Should be one close I recently told a member there was one in San Diego Usa....
So enquire using Mr. GOOGLE

Thanks to all for your wishes.
Have got access to a shop so can still do some stuff.
No Men's sheds over here. Drug dens all over though.
Otherwise settled in my new room and feeling good.
Thanks again for all the messages.
