The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning oldies.
Dreading standing on the scales this morning after a long weekend's blow out with my best mates in Redditch.
Off to Barnstaple for a bit of shopping later.

Just stand on one leg and feel smug for the day

Horrible today. Dark cloud, plenty of rain and 17 mph wind, forcast to reach 40 mph later.
No plans. I could go and help Mo with her housework.
On the other hand I can just chill

Good day. Windy, clear skies and +4C.

Not sure what today will bring as I don't have anything planned. I do have a list of tedious stuff I've been putting off. Should do those things really.

As it seems very dry I'll tackle some more allotment tidying. Mainly leaves to collect for the compost heap.

Out for Christmas drinks with two cycling buddies tonight. Big decision. Drive down for reduced alcohol intake. Walk down and back along towpath with wet potential.

You expecting to fall in in both directions of travel?

You could do a Donegal Danny, if it does rain on the outward trip.

Just got back from walking Mini D to school when the heavens opened and Gods farts started gusting across the landscape.

..........and the chaos begins and it’s not reached its peak yet.

Wouldn't that require amputation?

Oh my. The weather is getting worse here.

Oh my. The weather is getting worse here.

Supposed to peak around lunch time I think.

 

[Dirk]

Up 1lb 1oz.
Phew!
Not as bad as expected - I'll shift that in a couple of days easy.

Owdo

My sons ex wife was very gullible. One day I told her that "when I was in the SAS we had to cut one our own legs off and stitch it back on--just as a test". Her eyes popped wide open as she believed it.

Gullible is one word for that i suppose, after all who would believe that you had been in the SAS for goodness sake.

Morning all, it did get light here for a short while, now it is getting dark again, the wind is picking up and the rain has started.
I am out with a few mates for a beer and curry lunch today, it is an annual thing that has been going on for a few years now on the 2nd Tuesday of December.

I remember as a young child being in the garden with a friend and we were watching dad dig the garden over. He picked up a worm and held it up, pretending to eat it and just let it drop past his mouth. My friend picked one up and ate it!
