The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple this morning to have a mooch around the BJ Bargain Store (always thought that was an unfortunate name for a shop).
Always reminds me of the joke -
"Excuse me miss, have you ever kissed a parrot?"
"No.......but I've kissed a cockatoo."

I'll get me coat.............

I have risen!

Flu jab this afternoon. Aren't I lucky?

Getting the rumbles...........it's either another earthquake or I need my breakfast.

Crikey.......you should hear the rain just now!

We are currently under here.

I'm up again, it's warm here today as the heating never came on

Good morning fellow retirees,
An excellent evening in the Butchers Dog has left me feeling a bit vague. Note to self, drinking 9% Coffee Porter and then demolishing half a tub of ice cream when you stagger in the door doesn’t make for a restful night
Have a lovely peaceful day folks.

Been there. Done that. 😄 The older we get the worse it is.

Good morning all fellow wheezers.
The weather looks a bit dire no matter where we are in the country.
Another quick bimble out on the bike for some supplies this morning and then setting down to watch the Giro.
Yesterday's meeting at the Mitre went well. Gary the landlord has organised things really well, inside and outside. He has slightly reduced the range of ales on offer, but there is still 6 to choose from.

The Met Office app gives a very similar one but the colouring isn't quite so dramatic - Mo's is more fun. 😆

So I'm back after a very good two hours sleep come size. A bit fitful but better than being awake.

The wind has arrived. Judging by the trees we're at 20/25 mph gusting to 40ish. Raining but not dramatically so.

I'm ready to tackle shelves and chair. Have messaged all my buddies for a ride tomorrow offering two of my favourite routes

See two hours extra sleep and I'm bounding with enthusiasm rather than bored and lustless.

Hoping it's just passing over and might be dry enough at least for a walk later. I don't like days I can't get out at all........get quite agitated!

Made the mistake of checking the tv tonight. BBC has a whole evening of Little Mix and Strictly Come Dancing. Dire

I might record those progs so I can sit down on Sunday and watch them over and over all day.
Of course I might not
