The village I was born and spent my early years in was mostly boys when I was growing up so I ended up a right tomboy liking outdoorsy stuff and managed to avoid learning to cook, sew, knit, etc. Occasionally regret not being able to cook, but it's such a faff when you're on your own, it's barely worth it, so I live on ready meals, sandwiches, etc. Lol.
Would rather be out walking, running and cycling than doing houseworky stuff. It gets done when the tumbleweed starts blowing around.

Bonjour. Windy , grey and rain on its way here and on my own ( except Molly with me). I miss my wife, 10 days to go.
9 days of debauchery. 1 day of frantic tidying up!

I learnt the houseworky stuff when I was in the navy, when I left the navy and was living on my own I learnt to cook well enough to keep myself fed, now my Good Lady isn't in the best of health I do all the chores, cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing.

As a child of the 50s , we were 5 brothers and our mother taught us all house chores and cooking. She used to say: " When you are married and your wife is ill, you need to know how to look after yourself" . Today, it would be a sexist remark but my mum was right and I am glad she brought us up properly.

Me and my Bro did not like each other much as young lads (he is 2 1/2 years older). After we were both married we lived a good way apart and didnt have a lot of contact. As we got older we grew closer and in later years got on well ...... and still do.

Morning all. Off for a bit of culture this morning, going to the Mall Gallery. There's an exhibition by Kelvin Okafor, which looks amazing. Better get my skates on it closes at 1o/c.

Good morning - A good sunny day and warm with it. Don't know what I'll be doing yet but family will probably visit later.
Reading about brothers, I used to cycle miles with mine. We always preferred the off-road tracks. I was 52 when I started doing that and he's 8 years older than me. Nonetheless, we both had quite a bit of fitness for the rides.
We always knew the fitness couldn't last forever though and unfortunately, we were right. His has gone now due to illness and our twenty years of cycling together has come to an end. I still cycle over to see him on Friday afternoons but it's not the same as having him as a co-cyclist to go out with. We used to act as a prod for each other to go riding when the weather wasn't so good.
Sad ..but these things have to come to an end at some time I suppose.
