The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

An exhausting morning in the loft with the new rolls of insulation. Clambering over joists and unrolling / cutting the new insulation then poking it into hard to reach corners. It was easy in my head when I planned it out, but a real challenge in practicality.
In other news the camera picked up a young fox trying to get through the opening in the fence that the hedgehogs use, it was persistent but eventually realised that it wasn't going to happen. The cat that adopted us has been making itself at home and is now a regular visitor, tapping with its paw on the patio door window each morning.

That cat must be a distant relative of my daughters moggy although she (the cat, not my daughter) is too stuck up to tap, she just stares at me until I let her in.

OK. Do you have a solution to Dirks premature ejaculation problem?

Another old joke in there .
Basic answer is to enjoy a good J Arthur beforehand.

Today use to be a happy one years ago,
but now it's just another day and now it's nearly over.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Chap we know had his cat go missing about 5 years ago.

The other evening he heard a stretching at the window and opened the curtains to see his kitty had returned as if nothing had happened.

Just had a curry what as how I made. I was a bit too heavy on the chilli and curry .
A dollop of yoghurt and a sprinkle of sugar brought it down a few notches.

Morning, it's just another day for me.

As in "What's another year?"

Morning, it's just another day for me.

It's just another day for everyone, but it depends on what you do during the day that counts.

Horns of a dilemna here.. Some shares I hold have gone ££lots££☝️ over the last week.
Div payday is the middle of next week.
Risk selling now or wait for the dividend then see what the price is.....
Decisions decisions 🤔

They are probably already ex div.
Edit- the dividend amount will be disclosed on the Company's website.

Busy times.
Pickleball today - our first in a while, & the weather was very good to us. A Groupon deal lunch at Frankie & Bennys, then the Little Theatre for an amusing play.
Tomorrow looks very wet, but luckily we have an afternoon with pals in pubs planned, so more putting the world to rights can occur. Who knows, maybe a curry later 🍻
Night all 👍

Fortunately I’m not one of these people that feel the need to always be doing stuff. My life would be considered extremely boring by most, yet I’m quite content.

It’s very mild and breezy here. Windows have been open all night.
