Unless you married a man very much older than yourself, I can only think
of 3 blokes who might fit the right age profile to be your husband. M.,
who used to work for Paul in another town and who comes from a family
famed for it's Bushranger ancestry, M., who has an interest in Land
Rovers (but I've been to his house and his backyard doesn't sound right
according to what you've said about your place - he has a standing invite
to visit us at any time), and the vet, whose partner R. has just had a
baby boy, W.

he's not any of them - i'm just trying to work out who they all are (the
rest of you, just do what you were doing... ;-). i know r. because that's
how we found our place! & i've met w. although he was asleep) but not the
husband afaik, as our dog goes to the vet only when necessary, & it hasn't
been. i know an m. very well who likes landrovers but likes bread more -
is that him? although they live in town, so probably not. not sure about
the other m. except the butcher who's from that (notorious ;-) family, so
that's not right i don't think!!

Bingo - you got all three right!

we opened dh's shop only in february - it's very
close to the a. but not on the main street (his name's w.) if that rings a
bell??

Ah! No, doesn't ring a bell. Is he down the street that has the business
where R works on the corner? I've only investigated one of those businesses
so far - the one with the old things in it that an old fart like me can
remember using as a child at times.

i'll never guess where you are, will i?

I'm sure you've driven past my gate lots of times :-))

that is just so funny!

Hey! My place doesn't look that funny!

Wanna do lunch or morning/afternoon tea sometime?

of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! however, now i feel anxious & mortified with
shyness so we'll need to work up to it ;-)

That's fine by me as I'm a bit busy at the moment and with sodding Xmas just
round the corner (which I'm trying to ignore), perhaps we could do it in the
new year?

i wonder if we have met already?

Perhaps but then given that you are probably 20 years younger than me and I
tend to hang around with old farts like myself, we may or may not.

i meet so many people & often find that either i don't remember them, or
they don't remember me (it occurs to me as i am blah-ing on & suddenly
realise they don't even know why i am talking to them g. and most likely
vice-versa!)

I have similar problems :-)) My husband can never understand how I can
strike up a conversation with someone in a supermarket queue and learn the
most fascinating things about them in such a short space of time.

isn't that fun??! gawd, you probably knew my rooster's great-great
grandfather or something g

Can't remember where my rooster came from now but he was local (not your
town).

If you have Jack Russell dogs then we could be related. Both my boys are
from your town - descended from the dogs belonging to Jill, the wife of
Anthony where R used to work before she moved to where she works now.
