The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Lawns cut.
That should last until January.

I am pleased that Mrs @BoldonLad does not follow this group! She would be using you as an example of what I should be doing, instead of sitting here and “playing” on the internet!

We have virtually no decorations up - just a miniature tree and a small string of lights in the living room.
We go away every year, in the caravan, for a week over Christmas. This year we are going to Boscastle in Cornwall.
Traditional Christmas dinner of Egg & Chips will, of course, be consumed in the van.

My kind of Christmas, but, SWMBO disagrees.

Good ride today. 48 miles, 3800 feet including the notorious Birdy Brow (a top 100 climb), 13.6avg. Thought I'd PBd but turned to be 32 seconds off 😭

I thought of going out.........but that's as far as I got

We send Christmas cards. About 50 of them. Mrs Mart44 makes all of them by hand (decoupage and other crafty effects). She likes doing that sort of thing.

Chapeau to Mrs Mart those would be wonderful to receive.

Mrs P went to the U3A Christmas quiz. Her team won by three points. 👏

Further discussion revealed there was one bonus point for each person in the team wearing a Christmas sweater.........

.........three members of Mrs P's team had sweaters. 😂 I feel this removes a little of the glory!!!

A win by any fair means, remains a win.

We just had our first Christmas card this morning.
Mrs D 'does' Christmas more than I do.
I don't 'do' it at all.

We were down the club as we usually are on a Wednesday, my Good Lady came home with a handbag full of Xmas cards, it definitely feels like Xmas now, I've had to break out the drawing pins, brought from Woolies many years ago, and the string, we now have our first string of cards pinned to the wall.

She can scrape her trowel over my fossilised bones any time she likes.
