The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

I'm back to my lads place in the morning.
They managed to replace all the broken and missing tiles, took all the gutters down and cleaned them out, but the fascia boards on the back of the house were totally rotten.
They did look like the original 1930's ones. My mum and dad lived there from 1958 untill my dad had to go into care. My lad bought the place and I can't remember them ever being replaced.
Anyway, the new boards are up, but the roofer is coming back in the morning to paint them and then put the guttering back up.
So my day is already mapped out, but I will cycle down there instead of walking.

What bike will the dog be using?

Morning, well it's after midnight it's very dark outside as the street lights don't come on until 04:00.
I got up as fed up staring at the ceiling in the gloom, may go back to bed shortly

Good mornight!

I had better turn the light off now or I will end up awake all the hours of darkness and asleep all the hours of daylight...

Morning all

Weather's looking better today so I'll be cutting the lawns and tidying the garden.
My garlic and onions have started to sprout, so that's good.

Good morning peeps.. @numbnuts I think I saw you at 0400. I woke up and for some reason thought it MUST be at least 0730.
Got dressed......only to find it was 0400. Got back into PJs and went back to bed

MrsD had a fall last night and hurt her right wrist. It appears sprained not broken. Sadly means she is more incapacitated the usual. Hey Ho....life's rich tapestry etc.

Dirk already has his lawn mower out. If you ask him nicely maybe, just maybe

Good morning folks,
Veg box, Black bin and meet up for our weekly walk is on today’s agenda.
Had a good nights sleep with a dream that I realise was influenced by the book I finished reading last night. It was a “ Horror “ type story and very well written. It’s not my usual genre but I’ve been borrowing various E books from our Library and stumbled upon this one.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍☔️☕️

I am waiting for my porridge to cool down , with egg mixed in for protein. Then cycling, I am going to try and leave home before 9.30 . I’m not an early starter . 🤔 Think I will defrost some blueberries and cherries to add to porridge.
