The Retirement Thread

[PeteXXX]

It is erected 🎪

 

[Drago]

Ironing done. Don't feel right, bit of a dicky feeling in the gullivers so going for a lay down.

Another load of washing done and drying outside.

And more pottering in my workroom.

 

[Dirk]

Painters have finished.
Looking nice and fresh now.
Not the sort of job I'd like to have tackled - especially in this heat.

Why do kids seem to scream so much these days? I don’t remember us screaming as kids. Sure we shouted occasionally but this constant screaming now goes right through my head!

Time for another walk I think.

My runner beans are now planted. I do like fresh beans, even the small ones chopped up in a salad.
Has anyone watched the ITV series Code Of Silence?
I think the story line is a load of poo. So many holes in it. I can see it's been written for Rose Ayling-Ellis and others with hearing problems but come on, at least have a decent script and storyline.

If it's school playtime then they're releasing all that pent up energy. Kids also don't have the social filters that ( hopefully) develop as they get older.

Well I've done it! Handed in my retirement notice. My last day will be 29 August. (I'm on three months notice).

I’m watching it. I’m quite enjoying it, but I don’t take dramas too seriously.

I stuck with it to the end and really enjoyed it. I know what you mean with the inconsistency, the car that never seemed to need refuelling etc. I felt the parts where the dialogue disappeared completely and all the action took place in silence was a particularly effective way of showing what it must be like living in a silent world.

No discipline at home or in school, today it's called self expression

What did you all do on your first day of retirement? Was it a relief or special in any way? I am so looking forward to doing all the riding days out, writing at my leisure.

Nice job and white is so glaring in this weather. Its like leaving the cinema and going into the sunshine 🌞

 

[welsh dragon]

More pottering done in my workroom. My washing is nearly dry. The weather ap says we might get a drop or 2 of rain somewhere In Powys.

 

[Binky]

Ride ridden. 41 miles with 2800ft climbing so a relatively flat one.
Lovely out though.
