Kate, It's the fine piscatorial art of Angling (usually only little un's, hence Tiddlers. After all I'm sure you're aware all the big un's get away

) After the gruelling Competition of sitting on our arses in the Sun & drinking Beer for 5 hours "Tiddler bashin'" we then retire to the Gentlemens Lounge (the park benches at our lake) there to regale, exaggerate & be somewhat economical with the truth about the ones that got away & with the re-tellings our scaley quarry increasing in enormity & outrageousness as the evening wears on & the Ale flows.

Now isn't that better than some old wedding ?

A far better way in my opinion Dave, but in my case I wouldn't even bother with the angling.
If you have read my earlier post on this subject you will know that our 42nd wedding anniversary is on the 29th April, same day as said wedding and we had booked a Rhine Cruise to celebrate. Since writing the post my wife has suffered a massive heart failure and has been confined to hospital for a few weeks, now she is home and has a nurse and carer visiting each day and I haven't the courage to go alone or even ask another fair maiden to take her place.
I will not be watching the do on TV or even going to the Mayor and Britcliffe's party at the Town Hall for anybody who's anniversary is the same day as the wedding.

Less....I am going to quote from some famous film or other.......'live long and prosper'

Gremlin, sorry to hear that you will not be able to go on the cruise...but glad that your wife is home with you. I hope she improves and that you can enjoy the day together.
And a very Happy Anniversary to you both.

Strange that, quite a few of the Laydies like a well presented Worm

Remember, it's not how deep you fish but how you wiggle your Worm ! Does it every time & I'm pretty sure ol' Willsy Boy has been showing young Kateleen (or whatever they're calling her now) the wonders of his Worm up in the crags & glens of yon Bonny Scotland, aye out with the Gillies & Andies yer Uncle ! Some fine fishing to be had up that way.

Oh Son! How could you do this to your poor old(adopted) Mother???????
Haven't I told you I have a very pictorial imagination? Well, I have and that picture is making me cry, and hold my sides with the laughing.......I think I might just need a whiff of Jaysays oxygen.

Margaret Pilkington · 27-04-2011, 19:42

Anyway worms aren't maggots........don't you have to put maggots in your mouth to warm 'em up........NO don't. Please, that has really tickled my gag reflex!

DaveinGermany · 27-04-2011, 19:46

Sorry to hear about that Gremlin, not nice, but she's home & you're together & although it's not going to be the wonderful time you'd planned but at least things should be bucking up for you both in the near future, so best wishes & happy Anniversary (as best it can be in the situation).

Thank you Margaret, it is kind of you. We have had a rough time and I am getting a bit knackered but I have employed a good cleaner and her carer is OK.
I am 73 and was looking forward to the holiday, we have been three times before and this one was from Bonn to Basle.
I can always look at our holiday videos and have a few glasses of decent wine just imagining we are there again.

I have a confession to make as well, we have only been married 34 years, the other 8 were trying to make up our minds which wedding ring she wanted, still it is 42 years with the clothes in the same wardrobe.

Margaret Pilkington · 27-04-2011, 19:53

Ah Gremlin, that is lovely.......If we both make it to October we will celebrate 45 years married...longer than lots of folk have been alive......and I still feel only 35

Glad you have got some good help to keep you and your lady comfortable.

All part of the armoury, you always need a plan "B"

As to the maggot thing, don't think they're over keen either !

Margaret Pilkington · 27-04-2011, 20:14

It's Ok Son.......I have changed my drawers now

...thought the grass was a bit damp
