The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I'd forgotten that one.

Blimey, I had also forgotten how many other western series were on TV back then e.g. 'Cheyenne', 'Gunsmoke', 'The Rifleman', and 'Wagon Train'...

My abiding memory of Cheyenne is, aged 12?? Saturday evening, b&w tv, celery with cheese and fresh bread for tea.
Clint walker (main character) was, if recall, Mr Universe. He was very tall and had an incredible size chest.
I must google that.

Morning all.
Like Paulsb, my sleep basket has "gone to hell in a basket".
Also like Paul I was up at 03.30. I managed to dose for a while but gave up.
1st load of washing is now in the dryer.

Fathers Day means I can open the present my son sent me

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Good morning everybody, and a happy fathers day to all.

Good Morning everyone. Happy Father's Day in case none of your children remember. It's 50/50 in my house! 😂😢

Went back to sleep. Alarm went off.

When the kids were little if Mother's Day didn't happen in an acceptable manner it was death by a thousand cuts - spread out over a month. 😂 A friend once remarked about Mothers Day, in front of his wife, "But you're not my mother." The male company laughed.........

It has rained but is now cloudy, damp, cool and still. I've decided to ride. Now the question is do I go with summer jersey, arm warmers, gilet and take a rain jacket or with a long sleeve shower proof lightweight jacket?

🤔🤔🤔

Good morning folks,
A grey start to the day, my weather app, which consists of a puddle in a small depression in the road has grown

NOTE TO SELF:
Don’t break off from composing a post to respond to another, they’ll get combined and appear to be the ramblings of an old man 🤔

Good morning peeps.
Too much Belgian beer drunk yesterday, I am feeling a bit groggy at the present time.
It has stopped raining though, for a while at least.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, cool and damp here.
Just been watching, perched in a neighbour’s tree, a fledging GS woodpecker being fed by a parent, a nice spot with which to start the day

Morning. Early 8.6 mile jog done. Mostly road with a couple of miles off road on a new bit I hadn't tried before. It has a segment called The Cultoquhey Cockerel as the loop resembles one..........but mine didn't quite, as I got slightly lost as usual.

Really slow, but I hadn't eaten since 5pm yesterday and just headed out after a coffee so not much in the tank.

Morning all... Happy Fathers Day! Meeting up with our daughter this morning for a dog walk, and then back home for a Sunday roast dinner.
