The Retirement Thread

Good day all.
Nice sunny start to the day.
Cuppa and bickies have been enjoyed and I am now listening to Tony Blackburn with SoTS. I agree with him that it was/is THE best decade for music.
I should get a mid morning walk in later.

Morning all, I do totally agree with the fact the 60s had the best music , even though the 70s and 80s were the music sound track of my younger days . I am not so sure that Tony’s personal choices and favourites reflect this . 😂 😀

I should really start making a shopping list. Just back and realised I have forgotten milk. Oh well, there’s enough until tomorrow anyway.

The sky is getting dark again so I wouldn’t discount some showers soon.

I have a pad n pen. Everything I think of something I need I jot it down. If I didn't do that I would forget half of what I need.

Suns out in the Faroes - a few adventurous types have tried cycle tours there, you have to use the subsea road tunnels to get between the islands which seems to be the worst part, cycling isn't banned in them but they aren't the best for cycling. You can tell the visitors from the locals on the webcams, the summer high is 13 to 14 C, the locals are all in shorts and tee shirts, the visitors in coats and hats

For me a lot of it is nostalgia (I know, it's a thing of the past) as I was dragged up on Merseyside and at aged 15 was working in Liverpool. Everyone knew a member of some well known group (or knew someone else who did) eg I lived, literally within a few hundred yards of the keyboard player from the Pacemakers, the lead singer of a local well known group that also worked with the Beatles and for a short while worked with Tony Crane of the Merseybeats (till he made it big). So 60s music was a big part of my teenage life.

Back from my walk. Surprisingly cool and breezy out there.
Coffee.
I don't drink enough of it to justify a good machine but am slightly jealous of those that have one.
I do have a Tassimo pod machine which is OKish......better than instant.
I am about to have an iced coffee now which I find refreshing.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
