The Retirement Thread

Morning, very soggy here, they say we will have a week of rain and windy too
so much for flaming June !!!.

I give the grandparents 10/10 for this. Perhaps they're younger than me? The most intense we usually have is Monday #1 and #2, then #1 sleepover, and #3 arrives Tuesday morning. This leaves me wiped out. We once had #2 for three nights, she was too young for this and desperately distressed. She basically screamed for the whole stay.

I think I could do a week on holiday with #1, she's 5½. A lot easier and has so many interests she's easily pleased.

Both mid 70's with a 5, 7 and 10 year old! I am in awe of them, I do think they find it very tiring as you would imagine but they plough through it.

I have taken on the task of phoning Eurostar to book our tickets for the Escape committee on tour this September.
Being an retired railwayman there is a number I can call and get concessionary fares, it is reciprocal for Eurostar staff on National rail.
The office doesn't open until 10am.
Then I have decided that the hair looks a bit wild, so i will go and get a haircut .
The rain is persisting down now. Millie was walked just in time to miss it.

Just had a cold caller from a roof coating company knock the door. Fortunately I saw him coming in the drive so didn't answer. They are a total pest. I've just sent away for a No Cold Caller sign for the door. Hopefully it might help deter folk like that.

I missed out by two weeks with my concessionary fares, when I went out to Aussie

Morning
Off to GP in a bit - discussion about several things which may or may not be related
so need to talk about it

after that I can see some ironing and shopping coming up

Met Office thinks it will rain all day so that's out

do need to start getting things sorted for holiday - at least check which things are non-viable!!
