The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

Apparently someone in the UK has won £109.9m on the EuroMillions Lottery

you never know - it could be me
can;t check because I didn't buy a ticket
but not buying a ticket gives me - to all practical purposes - the same chance of winning as buying one
so it could be me
- maybe


anyway - it is my wife's turn to win it
I done it last time - but just the £1 million
OK in a syndicate of 30 - but still

I did buy her a ruby and diamond ring with the winnings- so it is definatly her turn

Look at it this way. A few more months and you'll have gone full circle and can start going to bed at a proper time........10.00pm is plenty late enough at our age.....

Ha ha - I stopped going to bed at 10 pm when I was about 14! The only times I have since is when I have been desperately ill...

I've had my "dinner" gone midnight, more than once. Nowt wrong with it.

I did too when I worked a night shift for a year, but then I used to sleep until 18:00 every day so things were well weird.

Good morning folks, we wandered up to the local late yesterday afternoon to watch the Rugby. Place was full of bloody cyclists! ( the local off road group “ Dorset Rough Riders “ or “ Roughers “ as they’re known ) we snagged a couple of comfy armchairs away from the crowd and had a great afternoon 🍺🏉. Popped into the chippie on the way back down the hill and had pineapple fritter and chips. Not had a pineapple fritter since my youth, it was very good 👍
Stay safe foks ☕️🚲🏃‍♂️

Morning. Not looking great out. Cold with the chance of rain/sleet so lay on for a while. I better at least do my 4 mile riverside loop soon I think after my cuppa.

Morning folks hoping the weather is a bit better today Had my landlady call me....the council may have told her to get her act together regarding maintenance. She started in on me about having 'a duty of care'......i gave her both barrels
I had better go for a walk today as Mo is inspiring me to not be such a lazy whimpy ***** and get out there!

Good morning from a very damp Coventry, family here later, I've got a bike to clean sometime today, I checked it over last night and pulled a couple of thorns out of the front tyre, might watch the rugby later.

Hello! Dark, wet, windy, cold. Weather isn't very good today!

I must say I'm feeling very chipper this morning old bean. Despite the foul weather I'm full of enthusiasm for the day. Lots of small tasks will be tackled and completed.

#1 is to order a new Restrap saddlebag. Now I don't need this, I can't really justify it, probably won't use it often but damn it I want one! I've been agonising over this for two weeks. Ridiculous. Life is too short.

I will walk to the farm shop the long way round, like @Chief Broom this is largely inspired by @Mo1959

Time to crack on.......

Sunday lunch booked at The Aggi.

Ice just noticed that an end piece of the guttering at the front of the house has come.loosr as well. It's just swaying in the wind a bit

Good morning all.
It's been a windy night with heavy squally showers. It's set to continue for a while yet.
Wordle done in 5, and I'm only on my first mug of tea
Some domestics to do before MrsP gets home this afternoon. The dog will be walked/blown around the fields before we retire to the Mitre for a couple of ales at lunchtime.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning, world.

Nearly 10 degrees but windy and a bit showery on Planet Thanet today.

First order of the day is to do a COVID test, as we are going out singing tonight at the pub. So if I sound a bit odd for the rest of this post, it's because there is a swab stuffed up my nose.

Breakfast will be a big bacon roll. Mrs Salad baked some rolls on Friday but was rather generous in apportioning the dough, so the rolls are more like mini loaves!

She is going to cut my hair today. 30 seconds with a number 1 buzzcutter will do it.

That's all I have to report. Keep safe and keep well, everyone.
