The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I have taken my son into town to collect his car from the garage. Dropped off more rubbish while i was there. Now sitting here with a mug of coffee and a donut.

Going through pre-retirement bulls**t in the office today. A process designed to make you realise why you can't stand another minute with the company. Should really stay here on partial retirement terms until kids have finished uni next year but I'll be lucky to make it to the end of this year the way things are going.

Sounds like you'll be struggling to make it to the end of this week.

Just as i pulled the last piece of clothing off the line i felt a very large plop. It has started to rain. Big plops as well and lots of it. This will be it now for the next few hours. Heavy downpors. . I am so glad i don't have to go anywhere tonight.

Had a fantastic day with my 3 grandchildren and my wife today at Greenwoods. I promised to take them all to Chester zoo next time. My wife said:" Do you know how much it cost to get in there?" To be honest, I don't but I will look it up on the internet and frankly, I don't care as it is a treat and making memories for their young minds.

Spent the afternoon straightening out a roof of a Kia that somebody had used as a trampoline, saved it from body shop and possible new roof.

Internet now up and running.
Twice as fast for half the cost.

I have heard mixed reviews about plus net. Then again, the same can be said for most of them.

When I had them for my home broadband they were good, but I tried one of their SIM cards in my unlocked phone and we couldn't get the data side to work, phone and text were fine but the internet stopped working after a couple of days and we couldn't get it working again.I killed the contract and moved elsewhere, I'm now with Tesco.

Woke up with a runny nose, hoping it is from the pollen in the back field, although I suspect a cold is on its way.

Had a rotten cold sore start to appear yesterday, so I am not my usual handsome self. I do have in some photos a close resemblance to a very well known radio personality, unfortunately it is Ken Bruce.

Come on you lot, carpe diem as my old school motto used to say.

Good morning. Hope all is well @screenman. Sorry to hear that that your poor face is now flawed.

Dull, overcast wet morning here.

Morning all,a lovely sunny start to the day with a yellow warning for heavy rain later

 

[welsh dragon]

We have thunder and lightning here now as well as very heavy rain.

Good morning from a misty Coventry.

Morning folks. Storms moving our way now so will cut the lawn this morning then try to squeeze in a tandem ride with Mrs. jg before the deluge gets here.
Got a cunning plan to upcycle bodge an old tandem rack I've got hold of to make it ft our roof rack. That can wait until the rain starts though.

Dull here. Greyer than John Major in monochrome. Off out for a run in a min.
