The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

A Q say at home with Mrs D today.

Morning all, I have been told by Justine that I should pop in here more often, I am one hell of a lucky guy to have found her. Anyway I am spending more time in Liverpool than I am in boring Lincoln, our social lives are off the scale with things booked up well into new year. Today we are off on a coach trip to Llandudno and tomorrow out to lunch with some of her friends, life is great over here with so many things to do. I still miss Pam and often cry about her but it is something Justine understands as she is still grieving herself, I am certain that if you have not lost a spouse then you cannot understand the feeling. Enough of that, we went to see the Rolling Stones story ( tribute band) the other week, brilliant, last Monday it was the Bootleg Beatles with orchestra, another great night. I have now packed up my dent work but still playing and enjoying my import business which brings in a nice income with very little effort apart from
going up the post office every couple of days, there happens to be a great greasy Spoon cafe next to the PO which seems to drag me in ever time, great friendly owners who make this southerner feel very welcome. Off to have a shower now and catch the train into town, catch up again soon.

Morning.
The calm before the storm here. No wind, dry, very benign. Due to change mid morning though.
As I rode yesterday not sure on plans today other than watching RWC.

Morning all

Might nip over to Cleeve Abbey this morning as they've got an exhibition and talk about the Watchet Mineral Line, which could be interesting.
Weather's definitely turning Autumnal now.

Morning, dry here at the moment. I managed to squirt onion juice in my eyes when preparing my dinner last night, literally cried the night away. Now "old reds eyes is back". Might go for a quick ride before the rain returns.

It's still pitch black here at 5.40. Is it with you and you're going to walk in the dark?

It was almost dark. I actually like the dark. I put my bright yellow high viz jacket on as I was walking on the road.

Nice 8 mile wander done and just had some beans on toast for breakfast.

 

[Gunk]

Day in London today, and Coldplay at Wembley tonight, it’ll be a long day, thankfully I slept well last night!

What, the walk or the beans on toast? I never really get tired of it and it's reasonably healthy compared to some of the junk I eat!

Both! I love a good stroll did three gentle miles with Bruce before breakfast (he got some tennis ball chasing thrown in as well) and thats my type of grub.

If you can darn socks and don't complain when I'm practicing Beastie Boys on bass then you've pulled!

Welshie won't like it as she's always had a secret thing for me, but she had her chance and blew it.

Dam. My loss I suppose. 😆

Well, what did you expect. No man wants creases ironed into their Y fronts. They chafe horribly when you do that.

Went back to bed and slept well.
Had my shower.
About to have my shave.
Now, was there something else I have to do ??

 

[numbnuts]

Morning, done the ironing
I bought a small bottle of pillow lavender spray to see if that would help me sleep
No it didn't work, I'll keep trying, but I think I have wasted £8

You are not supposed to replace the pillow with the bottle.......try spraying it on the pillow .
My late wife used to swear by lavender but stressed it had to be qood quality essential oil based.
She was affectionaly known as 'Lavender Girl' .
