The Retirement Thread

Morning all

Can a flat be on 2 floors? Would it still be a flat? Once I separated from my wife and lived in a single room in a nursing home that was made into apartments. There were communal bathrooms and a kitchen area where we each had 2 shelves in a fridge. One of my fellow denizens of this place only ate one meal a day....one pound of cheese and two pounds of raw carrots. Seemed healthy though.
Went for a little ride....about 13 miles. It was windy and about -7 C. Wasn't too bad although I would guess it was a lot more work than a summer day ride on lightweight tires (these were studded snow tires today) wearing only shorts and a T.
Be safe and well.

That is usually called a Marionette.

Morning. Another horrible night. High winds and torrential downpours.

Stay safe peeps

Good day. Ah the sounds of early morning, the birds are singing (really), the faint hum of traffic, the radiator gently clicking as it warms up.

Anyway. Are we all well? Today looks to be dry and I'll head to the allotment if it is. Also have to complete the club ride calendar.

Ever misread something? I've been reading a Guardian article about anti-vax protests. Several times I thought the photo of a guy holding a placard saying "Freedom is not a neat table" was a bit odd.

Carried on reading and it turns out freedom is not negotiable. I'm feeling very old today. 😄

I thought you were getting confused with ladies foundation garments.
“Balconette bras give a fantastically rounded shape with lots of support. The uplifting style looks great on everyone,”

Good morning all, dawning quite bright just now.
In Edinburgh we have tenements, townhouses, and villas. Villas are basically flats, upper and lower.

Good morning, world!

Today, Planet Thanet is a balmy 13 degrees, but with a pretty tidy breeze and grey clouds rushing across the sky.

I shall once again be trying to avoid participation in my daughter's kitchen painting, a project which seems to be rivalling the painting of the Sistine Chapel ceiling for complexity and duration.....

Keep warm and keep safe, everyone.

Morning folks just took the spaniel out for a leak in the rain, they dont half seem to get wet quick with their long ears and low slung undercarriage she does enjoy a good towelling to dry off though.
Having some ebay woes with stuff not getting delivered or not working [smoke alarm] i reckon some companies are not sending and hoping the customer wont post bad feedback in time.

Good morning folks,
I was talking to Mrs Tenkaykev about our trip to the Lord Nelson on Poole Quay yesterday. I’d not been there for yonks, and then usually in the summer where we’d sit outside. The pub has a lovely traditional feel, and hasn’t turned into a tourist trap. Friendly staff and a gorgeous pub cat named “ pusscat”
