The Retirement Thread

Good morning all. Another glorious day here. We're off to the Hope Valley with friends for three days walking. No departure time set so I'm hoping for another snooze.

@rustybolts yes my wife has this problem with her stuff. I don't have it with mine..........which is just as well really!!!! 😂

I'm quite rigourous, some would say anal, about filing. New document arrives, bin old one, file new one. Others I know put it in the big jug on the sideboard.............

"Have you seen my ??????" I despair. 😭😂

Up since 5.30 and resumed cleaning out drawers and shopping bags of old papers and documents , there seems to be no end to this valuable rubbish . 94% of it is just to be shredded now , it seemed important at the time. Finding old bank statements etc from back as far as 2010. The more old papers etc I deal with the more I discover . Anybody else have this or is it just me ? good morning anyway and stay safe folks !

Me too although not to 2010.
I will make a start tomorrow as it is a bad weather forecast.

Sadly (for you) if tomorrows forecast is accurate I doubt you will get much walking in. Maybe pub to pub

Good morning all .
Its 'pain in the a*se day' today.
The 1st of 3** hospital visits for MrsD.......this one is for "palliative care". Sounds a bit drastic to me but she wants to attend.
Has to be a taxi as parking is a nightmare (if not impossible).
**2 more next week

Morning. Yet another nice day. Sadly the last one I suspect as we are expecting rain later today.

Shopping day for us in the metropolis of Newtown.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
Just taken the dog out for a wee, and it is nice and cool, relatively speaking, outside.
Off to the coast for the day, it'll be nice to get on the beach as muttley does like running on the sand and swimming in the sea. So do I as well.
Fish and chips for tea no doubt.
Another busy day in paradise

Still warm out there.

Good morning all, a bit of light cloud at the moment, forecast to be warm and sunny from midday. Will be heading off on the bikes with Mrs F, current thinking is to do the Two Bridges route, over into Fife via the Forth Road Bridge, back via the Kincardine Bridge.

Misty wander done. Very quiet. Just two regulars.....one lady with her Golden Retriever and one guy running.

Usual Herons and Goosanders on the river plus a Kingfisher perched on a big stone. Just caught the flash of vibrant blue out of the corner of my eye.

Fruit and fibre time now.

Morning folks looks ok out and not windy. Im pedalling farther each week and now im pondering what will happen if i have a non fixable mechanical issue....I carry an inner tube and a few tools but anything more then im knackered! Over the hills and far away theres no phone signal so guess i'll be walking home! If there was an AA equivalent for cyclist i suppose could climb the nearest hill and might or might not get connected. So im off for a ride in a mo I may be sometime!

Been out celebrating my mates 72nd birthday, and a perfect summers evening at our local cricket club it was. Think I've drunk too much beer, I'll be up all night now backwards and forwards to the loo....

Hmm... I am out with "the boys" today, a walk, several drinks, and fish and chips for lunch. It is an 11:00am start.

I am old enough to know better, but... I am expecting to be a bit rough tomorrow, and, no doubt, no sympathy from Mrs @BoldonLad.
