The Retirement Thread

Good morning. Dry and breezy here. Forecast is 65-80% chance of rain by lunchtime.

None of my group are even talking about riding.

Hoping the rain holds off so I can go on my allotment. There is so much that needs doing. I know it's not just me but I'm so frustrated with not being able to do stuff!! ☹️

I have risen!

Good morning all, another grey day here with rain forecast for the day.
I did manage to get out for a bit yesterday on the bike, but is was quite windy.
The kitchen floor looks like you could grow potatoes on it so that will be washed, and the indoor side of the windows will be cleaned. Then an early meeting of the escape committee at 4.30 in the Mitre for an ale or 3.

@Paulus - don't wash it I'll pop round and pretend it's my allotment for the day!! 😄

We now have

Yes it does seem that she's the obvious one. I've got 50p on it, wifey thinks it's Jake!

Do you think judging by the end, there might be a follow up? Looks like Mark regained consciousness and realised what happened.

Good Morning. . Today we have cold, misty, and wet weather. The only thing we don't have is snow and that will be a possibility for us over the weekend.

Got a walk in as we have rain due. Shame as the trails are just starting to dry up after a couple of dry days.

Our new fitted settee covers arrived yesterday, I spent half an hour last night wrestling the small one on and half an hour this morning wrestling the large one on, they're nearly as good as duvet covers to fit, they do look nice though.

Good morning to all. Once again it is pouring down. You wonder where it all comes from. Again our thoughts will be with those poor people in the flood areas.
My car is in for its basic service this morning. This is an expensive time of year for us as everything is due for payment.
We are supposed to be doing a proper 'Dirk' for lunch as our local does a fish Friday......meal and a pint for £8.95. I have only seen the meal on someones plate. It is HUGE. We are going to try one between us and just pay for an extra drink.
Photo will be posted

I think we are going to miss the worst. It's saying rain and gusty wind over the weekend but no storm warnings.

@Dirk you post a photo of yours and I will post a photo of mine. No cheating to make it look bigger than it is.
We can let our fellow retirees vote on who has..........
The biggest
Best shape
Nicest looking.
