The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Been a busy morning for me. Tidied my work space then started a project for my granddaughters birthday. Fibgers crossed it works out OK otherwise we will be in deep do do


Probably chicken curry and either rice or chips for us.

We also crossed the Oeresund Bridge, Denmark to Sweden a few years ago, another amazing structure.

Since all of that negative publicity, they have been sending out more regular patrols to pick up the murder victim corpses before the public find them!

Been out for a bit on my mtb, about 2 degrees but the sun is shining now. A dusting of snow on the higher ground locally and a good covering on the further away hills to the north. Roads exceptionally quiet, paths and tracks absolutely mobbed. I kept mostly to the roads.

I always think, 1/2 a glass is such a waste. Mrs @BoldonLad often complains that I fill the glasses of wine, almost to the brim. It saves the effort of going back to the bottle more frequently, is my answer

Until recently I would have agreed 100%. However this virus has destroyed our taste buds.
We used to go through 3 or 4 bottles a week. Now, MrsD can't stomach it and its been months since I could take it.
Same with tea. MrsD always drank tea but she can't face it now.
I can't drink beer now. I used to enjoy footy on tv with a beer but now can't take it.
Fortunately I can still enjoy whisky and brandy

Good afternoon all.
It's been a nice bright day here after the storm passed last night.
I haven't done a great deal today, but I am now listening to the football on the radio and supping a pint or two of ale.
The temperature is dropping a bit, and there is some light snow forecast for tomorrow.
I ended up with two bottles of Glenmorangie, given to me as presents on christmas day. That will keep the cold out.

Thank goodness, all is not lost

Cold and dry this morning with slight breeze. Calls for a ride, I believe. Suposed to snow a little off and on today but won't amounr to much. Mrs 12 says I am grumpy and disagreeable all the time, I mean more so than normal. I can go outside in high winds but I find it hard to enjoy it. She has a SAD lamp and maybe I'll give it a try. I think some bike time will help a lot.
Got some outdoor chores to do as well, since the wind will be light today. And, at least unti 6/21, the days will lengthen.
Sea feliz y ten cuidado.

Seeing that I got up late this morning the day has gone rather quick, I was just wondering is it bed time yet as I seem to be a bit bored.

Afternoon all . Just have a lovely morning sailing , the sun was shining and it felt warmer than it really was and the wind was just right and coming from perfect direction. Plus we even had a little take out drinky afterwards as well .
We were all determined to make the most of it today, as it could be our last sail for quite a while. The next review of the tier system is on the 30th of this month and tier 4 is getting closer and closer to Warwickshire all the time. If we don’t go into it then , I would lay money on us going into it on the next review which I think is on the 19th of Jan.
Tier 4 means no sailing at all for us as we have to have safety crew on duty, it we didn’t, we could at least pleasure sail in twos as exercise.

I think its about nuns having sex , should be quite revealing
