The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Alan will be so much happier without his tackle, no distractions, just hours of bimbling around sniffing and doing almost all of normal dog things.

Sounds like some of the Welsh farmers round here.

Managed to fit a bimble in as planned this afternoon, a bit breezy so planned the route for most of the headwind was on the first part of the ride (oops I mean bimble don't do rides now) thought this picture was apt for Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire and the RAF go together like ham and eggs. Impressed myself.....the bimble was just under 25miles

Dear Sir or Madam

1) I am conducting research into public houses.
2) I am practicing brushing half eaten crisps from my slacks.
3) I plan to visit a caravan showroom in the near future.
4) I have applied a liberal coat of 'Dubbin' to my walking boots.
5) I have cleared a space in my bathroom cabinet for any prescription medications which I may require.
6) I have checked out and supplemented the car-cleaning equipment/potions in my garage.
7) I have tidied out the garage.
8) I am considering purchasing/building a cold-frame.
9) I have invested in more 'ready reader' glasses for reading and tried to scatter them around the house according to feng-shui
10) I am now the proud owner of not just one, but several, large, cotton hankies.

With this list I suspect you are ahead of some of us,
tidy the garage that'd be the end of my "its in the garage somewhere" when I've lost something

He's back, has now got a high pitched bark

And a reproachful look on his face...

I'd be worried about what Alanis may plan by way of revenge. Lemmy still has his space hoppers, and is quite happy to let the lady dogs sniff them.

Nice day for a ride, but only in one direction.

Towards a country pub?

Early run, shower. The women's tour is due through our village later this morning. I'm planning to bimble along and meet up with me olde mucker @PeteXXX.

I've been looking at the timetable for the women's tour and I tells ya, those lasses don't hang about. Their times between different villages are quicker than I'd do in the car!

Morning all, strong wind and horizontal rain, won't be doing much outdoors today

Vindaloo for dinner last night, eh?

Just opened some letters that arrived yesterday, one from a pension company that I paid into for a very short while, it has £6500 in it, they predicted a return of £158 a year starting from 65, that works out at just over 41 years to get the money back, seems like good odds for them.

I will add, this is not my only pot, before you lot start crowd funding for me, hold on, forget that first bit.

So you won't be fully retired until 138 years after your death?
