The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. It will be hot. So today? Bike riding! Heading out on a seriously big ride with my lad and two buddies. We shall see how things pan out. 🤔 I have my doubts so have built in a couple of "escape" options if it all gets too much. 🤞🤞

Morning. Another hot day in store for us.

I will not be venturing out. I have 2 storage units coming today, so I can sort my craft stuff out properly. Friday looks like the weather will be cooling down a bit.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A restless nights sleep, I think it was raining at some early hour which woke me up again.
An early dog walk before it gets too warm and then maybe a short bimble to the market for some fruit and vegetables.
Stay cool everyone

Morning all

Looking good again today.
Haven't decided where to go today, yet.
Set the van up yesterday and unpacked the car. I then realised I'd forgotten to pack any T shirts! Had to have a quick dash to Asda in Newton Abbot at 8pm and bought 8 new T shirts (2 for a fiver), so all is good now.

Good morning all, overcast and cooler today, 16°. The sun is supposed to reappear this afternoon.

I do believe it's a wee bit fresher here at the moment than Monday, or Tuesday, well at least it is for now.

Just reading some of the internet news and the combination of Brexit/Covid/shortage of lorry drivers is getting a bit worrying. The supermarket shelves are decidedly bare in bits most days now and they are saying it could get worse.

Morning all...Whilst catching up on yesterday's posts just now one of the lens fell out of my reading glasses. Looks like I've lost the little screw that holds it together. Might have to be a repair job with a bit sellotape .

Might have a walk over the heath later should be a bit cooler with lots of trees for shelter.

Stay cool folks!

Mrs Tenkaykev was telling me that she visited a Cafe ( pre Covid ) where each table had a container for salt/pepper/ sauces, plus a small box containing a selection of reading glasses of various strengths. The proprietor said he’d noticed a lot of people holding the menu at arms length so he’d bought a selection of inexpensive reading glasses. 😎

Ate sure you have really lost it and its bot just become 'unscrewed' ?
My new specs were continually doing that.
I resorted to lock tight in the end.

I expected you to be in hospital with severe palpitations after you got the bill for the meal last night
