The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. I take the lazy way out of walking to the polling station and used a postal vote.

One of those days when the frost might come down as the daylight comes in. The forecast was for icy roads but they look ok at the moment.

Morning. I take the lazy way out of walking to the polling station and used a postal vote.

We live 100 yards from our station so........

I have risen!

Seen a part time job advertised. A modest size establishment on the edge of the village wants a groundsman/handyman. 4 hours a day, 200 metre walk to work...might ring them.

Morning folks, strange morning! I looked out the window about half four this morning and the world was white with frost, got up at quarter past seven and its back to normal, wet, hissing down.

Morning. Brrrrrrr. It's cold and wet.

I am back after a very muddy and puddly little jog. Steep in the bath and Weetabix just finished. Enjoying a mug of Barleycup now. I try and intersperse it with coffee and not drink too much caffeine, although strangely, I think I actually sleep better after a coffee. Always knew I was weird!

Morning all.
Bucketing down here.
Will have a walk to the polling station later when there's a break in the weather.

Like @dave r I saw white over at 4.30. The anticipated beautiful day has disappeared and it's now very windy, drizzling and cold.

90 minutes sleep on the sofa. Yeah!

Fire lit and hunkering down for the morning. Then it's U3A Card and Board Games this afternoon.

Just going to walk Mini D to school, then when I get back its time to vacuum and then an hours bass practice. Boo yah!

Morning all fellow retirees, rain forecast for most of the day. Dog to be walked, vote to be cast and then off to the Wetherspoons in Southgate for an old railwaymans get together and lunch.

BBC Breakfast is a painful experience this morning. No Brexit, no Election reporting. They are struggling to fill the void

 

[Drago]

Got rather damp walking Mini D to school, so I've stripped to my skiddies. A bit of rain and the few school mums who would normally walk had taken to their SUVs for the sub 400 metre journey. The planet really is, genuinely, completely without hope.

Might hunker down with a few beers and a classic old British film this afternoon.
David Lean's 'Oliver Twist' is a distinct possibility.
