The Retirement Thread

[mikeIow]

A day off gardening to visit Cowes to see some yachts, mooch the streets, drink a beer or three and get the bus back 😎
We finished binging The Detectorists - missed it first time round, a very gentle and enjoyable show 👍

I have risen!

Good morning from an overcast Dorset. Have to wait in today as Paul the Postie will be collecting my toothbrush to go for repair 🤔
It's a Philips unit that I purchased last November and now has a " sticky " on / off button. I can't actually see them repairing it as it seems to be ultrasonically welded together, I'm sure they will just bin it and send out a new one, but having to go through the returns process probably dissuades a lot of people and they just fork out for a new one.
I'll head out for a run soon, only 7 weeks to the Kelpies Half Marathon, must start training 😁

I thought all postmen were called Pat?

Good morning all.
Another bright start to the day here.
MrsP is off to her friends 60th birthday gathering in Shropshire today, and won't be back until Sunday evening. So it's just me and the animals for a few days.
Today will be a pottering around the garden, and quite possibly a bike ride after lunch.

Morning.Looks a decent day and light winds so it's bike time.
First though coffee and porridge(of course) and a tip trip (inevitably).

Morning all

Taking my CRV in for its MOT this morning.
I'll hop on the train down to Bishops Lydeard while they are doing it.

Going down to the canal later to walk Bruce, andnthen a nice relaxing lunch in the van.

Cooooeeee. Another cool start but it's dry and calm

I enjoyed Loch Ness. I got to half way through Department Q and got a bit bored with it. I might go back and watch the rest

Stay safe peeps

I watched 1st episode of Dept Q and the jury is very mutch 'out'.
2 problems (for me)........
1. All the women characters look the same eg the barrister and the police woman. And who is that woman with (I think) a brother that's got mental problems ?
2.i just can't understand what certain characters are saying.....they sound fuzzy to me.

I will try ep' 2 later and make a decision.

1. All the women characters look the same eg the barrister...

Let me guess, a standard TV issue brusque, ambitious, power-dressing female barrister, not at all tired, worn out or stressed like the real life female (and male) ones?

Looks like a test episode for that new series...."when Numbnuts meets the Welsh Dragon".
