The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Wild and woolly here on the North Cornwall coast tonight!
Still.....we ain't bothered, it's roasty toasty in the van and we've got a good supply of films, beer, chocolate, wine and pork pies.

Beer, wine and pork pies. Can't go wrong.
I ate nothing much yesterday and today I enjoyed a sarnie with ham and pickled beetroot.....double yummy.

Good evening all fellow members. Sainsbury's has delivered the Christmas goodies, just need to get out on the bike in the morning for a few bits of veg from the green grocers and I'm done. MrsP is away with MissP for two days at a spa retreat as part of her Christmas pressies, so once again I will be home alone Monday and Tuesday. Domestics to be done and ale to be drunk . Sausage rolls and mince pies to be made. The life of a house husband is never ending.

Well, I'm none the wiser! Watched Dark Materials tonight and I know no more than I did last week.

You want to try reading Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time'.
I've read it twice and am still none the wiser.

I think it is a trilogy. Apparently the second series will be back next year.

I tried reading it, but in my head all I could hear was his computer voice.

The second time I read it, I was on the train and it took me ages to get through it.
It's all relative, I suppose.

Good day all. It's dry and relatively still outside. This means a bike ride is on a hectic list but first laundry.

1. White wash on
2. Dry white wash?
3. Iron white wash?
4. Change bed
5. Ride
6. No.1 and No.2 son arrive for lunch
7. Find jelly recipe for Christmas
8. Drop in party at neighbour's
9. Tea
10. Rovers v Wigan

Why can't Christmas just be football and bike rides?? Izzy whizzy let's get busy!!

Morning.

Up early for a 90 mile drive to the orthopaedic hospital in Gobowen for a interactive educational session for those having knee replacements. Had the pre-op last week, need a date for surgery now.

Sod all the wash @PaulSB .. It will still be there tomorrow.

Morning folks. A blustery blowy night here. Still is as well. Not much on today. I might do some more sewing projects. A nice quiet day I think. Have a good one.

Morning....it’s a dreich one here as we say. I cut my walk short as it was so miserable.

Might do a small shopping later. Certainly not going tomorrow!

Good morning - Dry this morning and the leg is better, so a ride along to the allotment for me.

I think we might have to go into town this afternoon to buy the items we forgot on, what was supposed to have been, our last shopping trip before Christmas. I'm not looking forward to it.

Have the best day possible.

Morning all. Nothing to report other than I'm getting very excited!

Like a porn stars trouser vegetables, I have risen.
