The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

We don’t get LS around here. We get a very few green but I’ve just looked them up and they rarely drum. So a GS in all probability 👍

Took me a few minutes but I got there.

Someone is either up incredibly early, or staying up much later than usual...

I've finished watching the 3rd series of Narcos Mexico, so I might as well turn in now and (re)read a few more chapters of On Writing.

Morning all it's very dark outside and 5c, I think I'll go back to bed and get up at a more sensible time

Morning. Poor first guess on Wordle so a slow start but got there again.

Just heading out for the usual walk soon then I’ll need to shop later as the fridge is bare again.

It was a repeat. That’s the new one on now.
I enjoyed Around the World in 80 days.

1st time I have watched it....quite enjoyed it.
Does he end up in a different environment each week ?

Morning all,
Failed miserably at this today's wordle.
Another grey, cloudy day weather wise.
A bimble out on the bike later to meet my son for a burrito lunch at midday.
The usual dog walking to be done and some domestics so enough to be going on with.
The first of the bin lorries have been down, the recycling one is always first.
Another busy day in paradise beckons.

Good morning one and all.
Very early night and a reasonable sleep was had.
I await a phone call at 0900. I have probably said but we are trying to claim attendance allowance. I am using a guy who is an expert.....he gathers all needed info and puts the claim in.
Assuming its successful he charges the equivalent of the 1st 2 weeks we get.
Money well spent imo.

Morning all. Cold but clear. Just popped in for a quick hello as I have a joiner arriving in 45 minutes. Need to be ready for him.

Bike ride after this. Then it's Rovers tonight. Biggest game of the season so far. Win and we go second. This is the first real pressure match these youngsters have faced - 6 are 21 or younger. My stomach has a knot in it now, tonight will be agony for 90 minutes. Sorry to witter on, you have to be a football fan really, a proper one. This game is huge for my club.

Behave till I'm back.

Good morning people, a squeaky wordle this morning, at four before I got a green letter but managed it in 6, I need to take my good lady down the doctors later then we're down the club tonight, and there might be a bimble later.

Morning all

Awoke to the serenade of seagulls in Minehead this morning.
Our mates put on a super Sunday lunch - roast Exmoor lamb with all the trimmings and apple & blackberry crumble for afters.
Had a good old evening putting the world to rights and watched a film.
Staying on a bit this morning and we're taking them for lunch later at the Ship Inn in Porlock.
Back home this afternoon.

Good morning, world.

4 degrees, dull and overcast on Planet Thanet today.

Good news: we've both tested clear for COVID this morning. That means I can go to the pub tonight with the singing group. Mrs Salad will stay home: she has a hospital appointment next Monday which has been postponed once already, so she plans to "isolate" this week. Therefore I will mainly be doing the shopping today, by myself.

Keep safe everyone and have a good day.
