Greetings peevers.

Things are getting busier here as our move abroad gets closer. We are now looking at smaller houses in the UK for when we pop back occasionally so we have a lot of planning to do both sides of the English Channel.

More and more we are seeing people to do with the move and more and more we have issues trying not to have clashes in dates and times.

This isn't unique to us and I'm sure that you have similar issues in your busy lives. So let's hear about them- the POTW is;

Trying to fit everything into the diary.

I may as well get my money's worth out of the Cuba trip, so here are shots taken on a tour around Havana in a classic car, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible.

Here with our driver for the afternoon, and our lovely guide who was with us for a couple of days;

Can't believe you were driving around in that car, that is amazing!

I don't have that much to fit into a day anymore, which is fine with me!

Actually Jezer I think it's a 1956 Chevy Bel Air.

Trying to fit everything into the diary.

How true, seems like it's as bad in retirement by looking at our daily calendar. Instead of kid activities it's Dr appointments and taking care of a ancient MIL.

Yeah it's a 56' for sure. They all look great on the outside but as expected they have cobbled up the interiors somewhat. Mounting radios and gauges and such. Still ....what a drive down memory lane. As though time stood still. It really did under the little dictators thumb. Great pics Jezer.


P.S. I though that was Pizza Patron on the side of that building at first.

I was going to say the same thing. When I saw the fan-shaped Bel-Air badge on the dashboard, I was instantly transported to my childhood. My dad had a '56 Bel Air Sport, turquoise and white. I loved that car. It was a beauty!

For once I can't relate at all to the peeve because Mr. Bay and I have been retired for years, and we live a pretty dull life. Our diary is almost always wide open.

Thanks for the pictures, Jezer. You certainly did get your money's worth! Good luck with the move to France and with finding a pied-à-terre in England.
