The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Cloudy and very breezy this morning. Our village shop has new owners from last Saturday. This morning everyone received a letter informing us paper deliveries cease on Friday!! Lesson No. 1 in how to alienate your customers!!! Our community FB Page is already alive with middle-class chatter

Anyway. This morning’s task is to clean the car. Then finish preparations for club AGM. This includes having thousands of £s worth of kit available for collection.

Waiting for the postman, he is bringing something special for my better half.

I had considered this for 60 seconds. The downside is Wednesday, Friday, Sunday I meet the guys at 8.00am for a ride. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday I like a lay in to recover from the rides!!!

Can you imagine the moans from neighbours?

Our house is built on the site of an old farmyard and the back garden is where the old duck pond was. This winter it made a reappearance for a few weeks so the lawn has only just dried out enough to have its first cut of the year. It's not a big lawn but it's going to take some fettling today.
Also got to wait in today for the arrival of a visitor who we're looking after this week. Max is a spaniel cross rescued from an abusive owner but he's a grand dog and I'm looking forward to some long walks with him.

Just made an appointment with the GP to have my Hepatitis A jab. I was going to go to one of the travel clinics to have it, but they charge £57, good old NHS is free!

we ( Me , Mrs Subaqua and the kids ) made the decision to sell up in London and move out to the southwest. both of us are getting more annoyed by our jobs.

if we sell we can pay mortgage off, buy a place outright and still have cash in bank with no need to work ... going to be done by Aug 2019/ early 2020

Oi, bugger off! The South West is full.
Seriously though, I'm amazed more London folk don't do that.

I don't blame you, we're in the process of doing the same. Not to the south west mind you, too many pensioners down there!

Bloody hell. If anyone else moves in here, someone is going to have to put up with Drago sitting on their knee.

We had a secret vote about that, sorry to break the bad news to you.
