I think there is even a 12th in me yet.

Would it have to be by the sea?

I can see us living here for a while now especially if we get a move on with the painting (hall still in its pre Christmas under coat of white), and actually do the building work to turn it into a home with a bit more space!

What does everyone do about friends if you keep on moving? I already regret not living close enough to family, and I hate the idea of moving away from friends too! I keep wanting them to move nearer me but nobody is taking the hint

I've lost track but it's over 20. We moved a lot when I was a kid - it averaged out to every 1-2 years.

Err (I know it's been done before on other threads), I've only lived in 3 houses really if you don't count student and very short stops), and my Dad has only lived 2 houses, his Dad before him only moved once (due to a family dispute) and the ones before that didn't move....

The view from our suite's patio doors...

We've had breakfast and will be heading into the Medina and the souks in a minute. I've got my haggling head on.

That looks grey... are you sure you aren't in the U.K. With some palm trees in the background ... (I'm sure there are some like that in Bournemouth or Torquay!)

I will still stay on the beach. I'm not leaving the sea again.

I moved for work and because I made a bit of money doing up the houses. I love my current house but I now need a bit more room . However I won't be going anywhere until I retire.

My wife decided that the air in the house needed changing and has opened all of the windows. I walked into the living room to find the kitten dangling half in and half out of the transom window.

Ah but he just played 'Keep On Running' followed by Pentangle then Hendrix.

It is hopefully a temporary gig though until they find someone to replace the legendary (now retired) Brian Matthews. (it could be worse they could have got that numpty Steve Wright to do it.)

Playing a bit of Nick Drake now.

My parents have lived in the same house that my Dad built in the early 60s. They don't understand all my moves.

2 slices of cheese on toast duly grilled and scoffed.

Are you planning to retire then? You haven't mentioned it. In other news, anyone know what's happened to Reg?

I have just had a brunch bar, that will keep me going until lunch. Given that my good and wonderful wife has promised to drag me to the pub for a pint (or three) and a burger when I finish work, I'm not unhappy.

We're in the posh shoe shop in town. My Good Lady is buying our Granddaughter some new shoes.

I have just done a @Fab Foodie breakfast of courgettes, eggs and capers.

I consider myself a pretty competent cook but this was just not the same standard as his.

Courgettes are £12+ a box wholesale at Covent Garden...usually £6 - £6.5. Some might say it's global warming but more likely to be the damn food technologists I reckon. I haven't heard the word courgettes since the Biggin Hill air show last year.
