The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I am ready to go, just killing time...

So much for getting more sleep last night/this morning... I got to bed earlier and had lights out by 03:30 but then struggled to doze off. I started getting the old panic about sleeping. I reckon I finally got to sleep around 05:00 but then had vivid dreams which woke me up a few times before finally getting up at 08:30.

I suspect that I will not be reading much on the train. I had better set an alarm to make sure I don't sleep through Birmingham and end up in Plymouth!!

I am feeling seriously sad at having finished Bosch! Anyone else get like that when something they've really enjoyed comes to an end. I will have to trawl through some more stuff on Prime and see what I can find as I can't see anything else tonight.

I do!

If you haven't watched The Shield, check that out. It is very unusual in that the cops are anti-heroes (corrupt). Violent and grimy but very good!

Watched The Joker last night, not the Batman stuff. A good film which centres around a police office and a violent sex serial killer - thought I'd best warn you all. It's not especially graphic and there are no sex scenes mostly the violence is suggested. It's very good but do be aware of the subject matter.

I was a bit sad when the last series of Shetland came to an end .

The way it ended suggests another series is in the offing.

Was Luther any good? I never watched it at the time.

Nina Miscoff tried telling the little erk that she paid for the old people when she was working . That's what the chap doesn't realise or hasn't the sense to realise that .
Perhaps he wasn't knocked around at school enough by the teachers like they did in the 60's. Now let me see! A slipper for hands in pockets whilst fielding at cricket . A dap for walking on cross country. 2 for a forward pass in a rugby game in the gym .
I was lucky. Some kids were hit for six with a cricket bat !

I got the Metros but I won't be able to use the voucher because it expires on Wednesday.I will post one to my pal and give the other to my sister.

I have made the classic Friday train error. This one from Leeds is bursting at the seams. Fortunately, I found a reserved seat left empty. Will have to avoid drinking though because moving down the carriage is a nightmare and somebody would grab this seat if I went to the toilet!

About 80% adult mask usage but quit a few unmasked children squeezing past. Surely too early in month for school holidays?

In fact they filmed the following series at the same time.

An icy walk to the gym this morning, now finishing lunch ready for a shift at St Giles this afternoon.

Hmm... yes, sounds a bit drastic, a "Tsunami of infections", and, that despite Scotland's more strict Covid measures.
