The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Gentle ride out this morning before it gets too warm.

Holy Mary Mother of Trump! That's chuffing warm! Cut the run short at 2.2 miles, as I was gwnuinely conderned about overheating the dog and I could hardly see for the sweat in my eyes. It was like breathing through a sailors Y fronts.

Afternoon, goodness me. It is mucho scorchio here today. I am hiding inside where it is cooler. Too hot outside for me.

Just back from the dentist, nice clean nashers and £74 poorer. Got to look after them, I've had them a long while!

I've got a small grass hopper sunbathing on my bay window.

Just got back from a leisurely 20 miles - blimey it's hot!

Just had the numbers from my pension man, and much to his and equally so my surprise, early retirement is an option. That said, ideally he said that I could do with earning £10k a year till my state pension kicks in, so six years. Not a necessity, but it would leave my pot alone if I did.

Just need to decide if its what I want to do (oh yes!) and when now I guess?

I'd have done it for £20, and given you the remained of the jar of Tippex so you can do touch ups between visits.

Same here.
Going to take doggie for a short walk/swim along the River Caen in the village, then we're having a light meal and a couple of pints at my local. Too hot to mess about in the kitchen tonight!

Sounds like a good idea. It's a bit too hot for our mutt, he's flaked out in the shower room where it's nice and cool. We took him out earlier this morning for a run over the park.

28 deg in my house. I am melting.

I have had to get the cooling machine down from the attic. It is a natty little thing but works really well.

Just take all your clothes off you'll feel a lot cooler
