The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Overnight rain and a mixed day ahead which is a bugger as the grass badly needs cutting.

I have a toddler on my lap who's buried herself in to Granddad. It's nice to feel trusted even when she's having a traumatic weekend.

Today I will be playing with building blocks, farm animals and possibly rolling around on the floor. 🤣

Morning all

Watchet carnival this weekend.
Yesterday, we sat in the garden and were treated to an aerobatic display over the bay. Today, we are walking down to the Memorial Gardens for the fayre, before hopping on the steam train to have lunch at the Railway Inn and then walking home.

Morning again. Just back a nearly 8 mile walk. It was overcast and a bit cooler but stayed dry.

I may or may not watch the cycling later as it’s a bit of a procession on the final day but perhaps some of the minor places will still be up for grabs.

Morning folks definitely out for a spin today but pondering what togs,,,its warm with scattered showers but ive fell for that one before,,,'scattered showers' forecast here can be a light misting to torrential down pours. Cycling kit used to be a mystery to me but now i realise its having a range of gear and selecting for the day and hoping you get it right!

Suggested solution - tilt chair. Cat will jump off. Then move chair.

Couldn't possibly do that - it's against the law to disturb a sleeping cat I am just a guest in her house anyway!

Housework done.

Decisions, decisions : Heads - clean the bathroom. Tails - watch 'Day of The Triffids' on VHS 🤔

A. Anyone is allowed to potter.
B. There are no instructions or manuals to go by.
C. You can potter anywhere, anytime.
D. There are no rules when pottering.

I hope this clarifies pottering.

On B, I refer you to the previous page, post 157,250 by PeteXXX.

And a personal review on "The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success" by Andy McNab. It's not worth the price.

Back from a pleasant stroll.
It's surprisingly warm out there. I wore a jacket but really didn't need it.
Settled down to watch the women's golf, they are sickeningly good.

I’ve lost touch with golf a bit since it all pretty much went to Sky Sports. Last time I watched the women there were a few good Korean players. Is it still the same?

Not to the same degree in this comp.
I am interested in a young English woman (19 I think) who has just turned pro......she is leading this comp**.
I watched her winning 2 major comps as an amature when she couldn't claim the prize money.
**she has just been tied by (I think) a Korean player.
