The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

🐈I'm hoping so. I had a moggy that made 20 but Molly is a Siamese and sometimes pedigrees don't live quite as long. Hope she's the exception as I love her to bits.

We had a quite a few Burmese cats over the years, some some lived to 20 and 21 years old.

Just had an email from the hotel we are staying in on Thursday


giving directions to another hotel that we have stayed in before
but that had gone downhil last time
AND we rang when we started looking for something in that area and know that they do not really cater for my diet stuff

which was confusing

checked everything and previous emails were ffor/from the one we wanted

anyway - rang them and it turns out they are "sister hotels" (i.e. they have taken over the one that had gone downhill last time)
and "they computer system has just been upgraded"



seems that we are fine - their emails are screwed up


I suspect a manger/owner is not making a nasty phone call to an IT support company somewhere!!!


(which is nice - many years ago I used to get calls like that
Note - it was never my fault!
I wish this to be clear - my programs never had bugs
"features" yea - but never bugs - my boss made it clear that this was a department policy)

Just back from a pleasant walk. Legs are behaving today which made it easier. Some days, when my balance is not good, when crossing a road, I have to wait until there is absolutely no traffic either way..... today was much better. I count my blessings.

Getting an increasing urge for a Honda Cub or Super Cub of some flavour in my life.

Just read about a lass in S. America who paid for a Bungee Jump off a bridge.
The staff did everything right except, when they 'Supermanned' her over the edge, they forgot one important thing.
She wasn't attached to the elasticated rope!

I had to Google this. Interesting. May I ask why? Ease of getting through traffic?

I had a 50. Red and white. 53 years ago. 😲

Good evening. A grey but warm day has evolved into a glorious warm evening. I have a G&T while sat on the bench outside our house. Deliciously cool but looking at the garden bathed in evening sunlight.

Ssssshhhh. Don't say a word. Mrs P is watching the Queens final on catch-up. She doesn't know the result. There will be hell to pay if any of you breathe a word.

I'm outside because of the tennis. Mrs P keeps commenting. If I don't respond she's unhappy. Zoning out isn't a plan. Outside is OK.

Much healthier for you. Well done. Every hour before midnight is worth two after it.

4.5 mile walk/jog round the riverside trail loops done. It's still dry but getting very windy.

Thank you, Mo. I meant to reply yesterday but forgot.

I dont know. I've always liked them and they'd be ideal for tooling reliably and economically around toon, and being big wheelers they behave more like a motorbike than a scooter.

Iirc there were 2 Honda 50s, a standard one and a sports one with a racing style.
