The Retirement Thread

[Chief Broom]

I'm not usual into Sci-fi type films but I see The Abyss is on Film 4 tonight. Is it worth watching?

Yes its not outstanding but engaging/interesting. Im a Sci-fi fan because i like to be surprised! so much human drama is too predictable.

 

[classic33]

No.

Seconded

And there was me thinking it was a market for Indian cheese

Mrs JK had to explain this one to me . “ Oh so you don’t know everything “ .

Another Sci-fi fan here, currently working my way through Earth, Final Conflict, a pleasant bit of nonsense I don't have to think about too much.

It's a tad slow. I fell asleep

Back from parkrun, a total distance of 12k with walking / jogging there and back. A glorious sunny day with blue skies and the added bonus of seeing a Heron perched a few feet away from us on the way home.

Got this in my FB feed this morning, sadly, accurate

Completed a silly Strava challenge and got £50 off Le Col stuff, which I happen to think is overpriced so probably makes it just about acceptable with money off.

Like I really need another cycling jersey but I liked the colour.

If you want it , get it 😀.
I think you and I are a similar age and now if I want something and can afford it , I buy it.
No putting anything off, this is because I have notice a tendency in some people when they get to be a decade or so older than us they start saying things like ‘ I won’t get that because I wont get the use out of it ‘ or ‘ I wont buy that as I wont live long enough to wear it out ‘ 😂😂😂
And I totally refuse to become that person 😀😀

PS my wife’s cycling club buys all their club kit from Le Col and my wife was very impressed with the quality and fit . So much so that items of Le Col kit ended up on her birthday list I was presented with this year 😂😀

If it does rain, I'm blaming you.

It did.

It still is.

I'm sorry!

Its turned into a lovely bright, breezy and cold morning. I've spent the morning getting the ironing done.

Postie just rang the bell and handed me a weighty package. It's a book that I'd forgotten that I'd ordered. It was to be a " Stocking Filler " type gift for one of our daughters. It's Cassels Dictionary of Slang. I hadn't realised just how comprehensive it is, almost 1200 pages with origins and first known usage of tens of thousands of slang expressions going back to medieval Times 😎
I might hang on to it for myself.
