The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good Day. Weather doesn't look too exciting, very bland. I've had a terrible sleep so may have to snooze later. MOT today so I need to drop the car off and stroll home.

I do despair sometimes. One of the most offensive posts I've seen on CC has been made about Drago in the What's Happened to What's His Name" thread. I'm utterly disgusted by what I've seen there.

Morning. Dull and overcast here. 6 deg apparently.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all, a damp start here.
Perhaps some hopeful news starting to emerge from Ukraine and also Iran.

Morning. I am late. I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier but it isn’t working. Just toss and turn until the early hours. I nearly got up at 5 but decided to turn over one last time and nodded off.

Even although I got a lot of the letters in Wordle, buggered if I could get them in the correct order until the final guess.

It’s been drizzling here. Just finished my coffee so better have a wander. Just the 4 mile river trail I think and put the green bin out when I get back.

Oh, I do hope so. The world really needs some good news for a change.

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple first thing to pick up MrsD's replacement Samsung tablet.
Will nip into LIDL for a top up shop and might drop into the Aggi for lunch.

I am finding it bizarre how so many people have spent so much time discussing it to be honest. Some weird people in here…..not in here of course, apart from weird in a nice way

I've got four in line two but damned if I can see which way to go next. So many options. I'm trying to think of a sacrificial word to eliminate as many as possible..........and I never do that!!! 🤣

Correct. We are the nicest bunch of the weirdest people you could wish to meet.

I had all the letters by the second attempt and just took a guess for the third attempt and got it right. It helped that I tried a different start word this morning.

They say theres nowt as strange as folk, I read the post and just thought it was a poor attempt at humour.

Morning folks i do some painting then gardening and ebaying for sundries and repeat. Im wondering what the weathers going to do.....is it a warm spring arriving or a foot of snow Have been getting seeds from 'premier seeds direct' on ebay-they are good value compared to the big name suppliers like Suttons, dread to the think of the costs for all those pretty packets...a pretty packet i suppose

Hi Dave
I'm in a village above Estepona in the mountains, do you know that part?

Worked (sorry for using that word) in Gibraltar quite a lot, and, spent many a pleasant and enjoyable weekend in Estepona, and inland from there.

Have been back since retirement, a few times, in our Motorhome

Yes, I agree Dave it's a very poor attempt at humour and in normal times I'd think nothing more. Perhaps I'm overreacting but earlier I'd watched the video below and it's just ripped me up completely. All I can see is my little granddaughter and I have the most appalling thoughts of what little ones are experiencing. It really has broken me.

Well, just got back from walking the dog, and the rain has started, heavily
Daisy, the dirty stop out cat has not come back yet. She is a bit of a wild one.
Now listening to last Sunday's Desert Island Discs. Robert Plant is the subject. Very interesting as a another thread in the cafe alluded to.
