The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

Still trying to clear out 30 years assorted junk from my workshop. After several trips to the dump it still looks no better. I feel my mortality I think and my family would have a dreadful job clearing it out as there is no vehicle access and everything has to be carried about 100 yards to the the roadside. My tools have been more or less sorted but there is all the bike spares which will never be used as well as stuff which will come in useful some day. Perhaps.

Ah I see, so your wood burner does everything

It does indeed. It keeps the whole house warm.

Isn't there a Law of the Universe, which says, it will become useful, the day after you throw it away?

 

[welsh dragon]

We knew you had nothing upstairs!

Shut up you. .

 

[oldwheels]

BoldonLad you are so right. I now need something I chucked out last week.

A bit depressing isnt it.
I keep looking at all my excess 'stuff', let alone whats in the attic.
I also have mobiles and a laptop I have not touched for yonks ☹

I don't have an upstairs. . It's a bungalow.

Now I had always imagined you living in an old farmhouse or similar.

Oh tell me about mobiles. We keep them in case we need one in an emergency!!!!!

Lots of people do. We had 2 places. One was a cottage and this one. We sold the cottage and moved into this one so that I could retire.

They're those things who always know when you need them most, and then refuse to work.
