The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Pissitively possing down here....another day when I am happy not to play golf.
No plans for the day.
I know late lunch is going to be a veggie pasta with mushrooms and other bits that need using. We both enjoy veggie food and talk about going full vegetarin......the problem being I do enjoy a bit of meat.

We had rain this morning. About 10 drops.
Been cold though. Nearly down to 22 degrees.
Coober Pedy tomorrow. Should warm up a bit (34). That's more like it.

I've been there

Dull, damp and yucky here. And that's just the interior of my Y fronts.

Got to pop into town to see someone. Can't be arrissed to drive in that crummy weather so I'll get the bus.

Good morning - A bright morning. We'll be going into town soon. If it stays bright, I might even wash the car seeing as how it's starting to grow moss in the crevices. Moss in the crevices never looks good.

Have the best possible day.

Mrs D has moss growing in her crevices (well her car's crevices) as its parked on the drive. She takes it for a mini vallet every nowandagain......must say they do a good job.

We use the bus when going to town (which isn't very often). The bus stop is only 500 yds from our house, it goes right into town centre and costs nowt.

My Yaris is the same. Dreadful. I used to wash my cars regularly when I was younger, but it doesn’t agree with my back now so lucky if it gets done twice per year!

I think I better slice up all the cardboard packaging my bed came in and do a skip run.

How'd you skip whilst running?

Think I'll go with the Met, aim for an earlier ride & be back by 11

Made it! Not far, but at least managed to turn the motor over.
The rainfall of the last few days fortunately apppears to have resulted in no localised flooding, but rivers and streams are well up.

I have returned from the metropolis of Newtown. Drizzling here now.

A 50 mile round trip for me.

One of the things I like about where we live. Co-op, Spar, library etc are within a one mile walk. Tesco, Aldi, Lidl within a 3 mile drive. But at the back we have the country park. Defo not as beautiful as where you live but as you get older priorities seem to change.

They do yes. It's fine at the moment, but in the future I may well prefer to live in a small town.

I Think Mr WD and I would disagree with the choice of place to move to.

If its not a personal question where would you choose to live.
Many years ago we seriously thought about Porthmadog
