The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all.
Cold and frosty here.
Grandchildren can come in really useful sometimes. N'S 2 & 3 came yesterday and spent 5 lovely hours with us.
•Sorted my mobile data usage out.
•Installed "free" spotify (he has a family package).
After they left we sat for hours listening to 60s music......bluetooth to radio. So went to bed late and slept like a log.

The rain in Spain is here today. In gym, I'm 64 today so hope to keep this going for a few years yet 😂

Happy Birthday. Yes, know what you mean. I'll be 63 in May and struggling a bit these days but got to keep plodding away. I definitely believe in the "use it or lose it" saying.

My big mug just cracked when I poured boiling water in and my coffee seeped all over the unit. Got them off e-bay. No doubt cheap and nasty tat.

Morning , am just sat doing nothing waiting for mrs exlaser to come back from the supermarket ( we both do the shopping but never at the same time, it’s safer that way lol ) Then we are going for a long walk to our favourite coffee shop for breakfast.
I am not looking forward to walking , as I sailed yesterday after not sailing for weeks as its been too windy . It’s was quite windy yesterday so loads of hiking out to balance the boat.
The tops of my thighs are now burning lol. I will be ok walking as there aren’t any stairs lol, if there are mrs exlaser is going to have to get me a hoist or a stair lift 😂😂😀

Yer back!

 

[Mo1959]

Not long back from the Co-op for a few things. 2 bags full and cost over £40. Mind you, I bought tinned red salmon which is expensive and treated myself to a couple of ready made paninis that will do lunch for a couple of days. Much cheaper just making a sandwich but they are nice for a change. At least I got a coupon for £4 off the next shop of £20 or over so that's a decent discount.

Can't be that cold out, he's sat down and doesn't look bothered.

Plenty coat on him. He's a lovely boy and very intelligent. Strangely I had been walking along just thinking about him literally seconds before she appeared down one of the paths with him. I must have sensed him.

You went out with no coat?
