Norman Verona Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I sort of finished the floor in the day room, it's still a bit patchy if look very closely. I'll get round to another coat next week. I'll take all the tools back to their homes tomorrow as it may not be raining as much. Then will probably start on the new porch next week.

Norman Verona Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 The only alcoholic drink I do not like is dark rum, I can't stand the smell. May be because I got drunk on it when I was about 7. Right off to do the count, I think it's low today, back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 I do. I was 11 and spent my pocket money plus the bob I "borrowed" from the electricity meter money on Motor Sport. I remember reading John Bolsters report on the new Lotus 7 and thinking "I want one of those". Only took me 35 years, 2 kids and a business built from nothing to being sold to fulfill my dream.

FILFAN Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 what sort of business did you run requiring 2 kids. is this why you left the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 So you rumbled me. I have a picture of my 3 year old washing the petrol pumps at the garage where I was manager. I also have a picture of my daughter, aged about 5 sitting in the parts department (head office dealership) counting thousands of nuts. Got to get them started young to earn their keep. I came here for many reasons, some of them to do with health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
