The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. I was in much earlier but nobody was about.

Off out for an early walk up our local hill. Last day of still being able to wear a t-shirt at that time in the morning as it's all change from tomorrow with low pressure and much cooler temperatures.

Walked a fair bit this week. Garmin Connect always seems to automatically enter me in the steps challenges and I appear to be in the lead this week!

I was in bed with Chorley Paul last night. No, hang about, I mean I went to bed at the same time as him .

Thank God. It was a bad dream then!! 😄

OK 'fess up time. Who watched Strictly? I was in the same room. At one point Mrs P said "Are you listening to me?" I knew she had spoken but thought she was merely providing a running commentary. This may be a problem. I retreat into my own world while this is on. It now seems I have to remain alert to my wife's remarks. Now if I was to utter "Do we have to watch this crap?"...........

Just been perusing the lower league footie scores. I like to keep an eye on County and Chorley as I've good friends who go to watch them. Cracking result for Brentford as well.

Time to get started on stuff I think.

I detest Strictly so much that I even switch channels briefly if a trailer for it comes on!

Fortunately we have a decent tv in the 2nd lounge so MrsD watches Strictly in there.
I was watching Brentford vs LFC....... they look a decent team.
At 1:1 I fell asleep. Woke up and it was 3:3. I will watch it on MoTD.

God morning all, it was quite bright a while back, but it has now clouded over.
Barnet got their 1st win of the season, 3-1 at home to Weymouth.
A long walk with the dog soon, MrsP is away at a spa weekend with her friends, so maybe a pint or two at the Mitre at lunchtime and then watch the mens road race on the telly.

Good morning all, quite pleasant here.
Will go for a little walk then settle down to watch the Worlds’ mens RR followed by yesterday’s Strictly 😍
We weren’t able to watch Strictly yesterday because we were otherwise engaged watching the two women’s races at the World’s, very good they were too

Where are you finding all this cycling to watch? Take it you have Sky.

No. Hell no. Totally not happening in my house. I loath those programmes.

 

[numbnuts]

Strictly ? is that BDSM

I watched " The Mercy " a film about Donald Crowhurst. Mrs Tenkaykev wanted to watch it so I watched it with her. A very good film, but as the closing credits rolled, I said " Well, that was a bit depressing "
It's a fascinating and tragic story when viewed in hindsight, and there's a lot more to the story than could be fitted into the Film.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Oh........thanks for that.

We’ve been watching on Eurosport but they’ve also been showing all week on BBC, I imagine that they are still there on i-player.

We are in South Norfolk, near Beccles, at a place called Chedgrave on a CAMC CL, Gale Cruisers. Very nice it has been too.

We're on a CAMC off grid site near Wadebridge. Chapel Farm CL. Only £7.50 a night.
