The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. I’ve been up since before 5 but just sat here on the ipad. Better get moving now.

It’s our green bin day plus there’s a charity bag collection so I’m putting lots of clothes out after having a massive clear out.

Good morning all.
Another warm and sunny day is forecast for here.
A after walking the dog I'll be on to the domestics and then out for a spin. I have a prescription to pick up.
MrsP is off to Whipsnade Zoo with a friend of hers for the day, so it's just me and the animals. 😁

Good morning from Sunny Dorset. It's a tad warm already so I might get out for an early jog to test my hamstring/ glute. Mrs Tkk has a physio appointment at 10:00, she's been having laser treatment on her knee, it's reassuringly expensive so it must work, I am a bit sceptical of course.
Off to Cheltenham tomorrow, Mrs Tkk family grave is in the cemetery there and we're going to inter her brother and his wife's ashes in the family plot. She's arranged to add her brothers daughters to the plot ownership as it's less of a faff than transferring and can be done on the day. I will visit Brian Jones's grave while there and might pop into GCHQ and see if they can help with a couple of stubborn clues from Saturday's cryptic crossword.
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️🎶☕️

Well over 65 years since I went to Whipsnade zoo. My lasting memory is of Kodiak bear** stood up and the sheer size of it.
*think it was a Kodiak. It was big and black.
Edit.
Google tells me it's brown but 2nd in size only to the Polar bear.

Just been for a very short walk with my strollator. It took a while to get my head around using it but in this weather it enables me to get some fresh air. We back on to the country park so at this time of day its quite pleasant.

Morning.
Back to glorious and the anticipated heatwave is acoming.
Washing on then it's tip run and out on the bike for a good ride.

Morning all

Steam train to Minehead this morning. Bit of shopping, then lunch in Wetherspoons.
Some more Bantam bits arriving today, so I'll crack on with it later on.
Did the crankshaft end float yesterday.

Riverside trail walked. It’s slightly fresher this morning with a nice breeze.

I saw a poor hedgehog dead on the road but some kind soul had come out and scooped it up by the time I came back rather than let it be squished any more. Why anyone needs to hit a hedgehog on a quiet residential street is beyond me.

Gone into shorts. I'd vowed not to after being bitten and ending up in hossy last year, but I'm sweating like a 70s DJ at school closing time and getting rubbed raw as a result so ill take the risk.

Probably not watching where they are going and what is on the road in front of them.

Right, catch you all later compadres.
