The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Made up a little song to sing when I'm doing the housework:

"I can see clearly now my piles have gone,
No more plummy veins in my way,
I can see clearly now my piles have gone,
It's gonna be a bright, bright, bum grape free day."

New tyres on the van have made a huge difference to the fuel consumption!
Got 37.6 mpg towing across Devon today. I usually think I'm doing well if I get around 30 - 31 mpg. That's about a 20% improvement and it was into a crosswind all the way. Well chuffed with that!

Hurrah the sun is shining and no wind. This means the Friday Fry Up is a go. A fast, flat spin out with a great bunch from the club. Around 66 miles for me and hope to get home with 16avg depending on who turns up.

The Silver Eagles are flying again and our carer is coming as well.

Just woken up by a bloody woodpecker who's decide to drill the tree right next to my caravan. Wondered what the heck was going on for a moment, until realisation dawned on me.

Showers all day here - at least that's what's forecast.

Bracing myself for another day long telephone argument with the HMRC.

Good luck with that

If I went to work I wouldn't have the time!

Well, that was refreshingly easy. Got through straight away, got a human being over the age of 19 who appeared to have some idea what she was in about.

Good morning chaps. No rain or snow here, so a good day

Good morning! The early morning fog has lifted, earlier on I couldn't see the house across the road. Its Friday and shopping day.

When I put my claim in for pension credit it took two phone calls, the second call took over two hours, and when I got the paperwork through there was a mistake on it and I had to make a third call to get it put right.
