The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Mrs P is spending money on the internet. Mrs P is very much better. I want some of whatever is in these steroids.

Now here is a solution looking for a problem. First world issue this. Mrs P has purchased "packing cubes." These go inside one's suitcase and divide it in to sections, knickers, socks, shirts etc.

Mrs P says it helps one to be organised. I have refrained from asking how difficult is it to keep a suitcase organised?

Apparently I will regret my decision to decline the offer to buy me some too.

i did offer to cut up some cardboard boxes. That was a mistake.

You really must be trying to get yourself into trouble I see.

May I ask, how long have you been wearing knickers ? Are they comfortable?

What a day!

I was delegated to "set up" my technophobe Brother-in-Law's new "Smart TV".

I thought, being a "smart TV" it would take 5-10 minutes. Half a day of my life gone, tuning channels, installing Apps, creating accounts for iPlayer, etc etc...

I do wonder how he is going to find his way around this lot ?

I had measles, mumps and chickenpox, also something called impetigo which is like a fungal infection. I caught it from wearing another boys cap at school. It's quite infectious. I did have the polio and diphtheria vaccines though. Sounds like I was quite a poorly kid, but I wasn't really.

I had measles, mumps and chicken pox as a child, I had impetigo as an adult, woke up one morning with a swollen face with weepy sores, had to trim off my beard and keep away from the family for about six weeks. I also had to keep the clothes, towels, cutlery and crockery I used away from everybody.

We were told by our bacteriology lecturer when I was a student that if we had ever travelled in a Glasgow tramcar and did not have TB then we were immune. I must be immune.

It's just something I discovered in retirement. Yes, very comfy but need to be generously cut.

Speaking of suitcase organisation - my wife sorts the clothes when she packs the clothes to come home from a holiday so they are in sorted loads for the washing machine. If she's not got 2 loads done within 90 minutes after coming through the front door she's disappointed.

2 very elderly guys talking in a bar one evening . First guy says " As soon as I go home I'm going to take off the wife's knickers ."
Second guy spills his beer and is astonished and very impressed . "Wow , are you that horny still that you're going to jump on your Mrs ? "
"Well I have to take them off fast as they're cutting the arse off me . "

I'll get my coat

Chucking it down here, with very heavy rain later. Decent wind 22 to 41 miles per hour. Would like to fester on the sofa but tell that to the dog.

Back 30 minutes ago....not a speck of rain while I was out. What kind of weather forecast is that? wasn't even that windy. Filled my pannier bags full of logs so happy to boot. Dog napping ....for now.

At our golf club there are 3 women that work behind the bar and do lunch meals etc. Some months ago I told one of them that I was wearing one of Mrs Ds thongs and it was pink. I can't recall the details but she believed me and it spread. I didn't deny it so it became a subject of conversation and much tittering until someone put them straight. Welshies bloomers I could do but not a thong

Latest news alerts !!!!!!!!!
1. Mrs D must be feeling better as, at lunch time I was sent out for a Chinese takeaway
2. We have just booked a holiday for May. Back to Majorca (Puerto Pollensa). It was so hot last time (in June) that we didn't do half of the things we had planned.
I will be going back again in September for another cycling holiday as the last one was so good.

Well I will have my dirty clothes sorted from any clean ones.

Mrs P? Well! I still haven't got over the shock she plans to organise her suitcase with little boxes.

Roll the contents of the cases, don't fold flat. They'll take up less room, be less likely to crease, and should be easier locate. Shoes/footwear should be used to hold anything that may be damaged by compression, but should be bagged before placing in them.

Classic....get real. Really!!!! Can you, or anyone, imagine being able to roll a pair of Welshies bloomers up and fitting them in a suitcase???
@PaulSB s knickers maybe but there is a limit
