The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A chilly start to the day here, the central heating has just come on.
Grrr, the milk has gone off, black tea this morning. First job will be a very early dog walk via the shop to buy milk.

Morning all

Fish Friday rolls around again!
Doggie plod on the beach first thing, then a stroll down the village for a couple of pints and pick up f & c.
Best mates are coming for Sunday lunch at Hang Loose in the village and they're stopping overnight. Should be a good weekend.

Good morning all, gorgeously sunny here

Good luck with the house purchasing Jogger. This is the place we stayed in 2007, shortly after we were back home we found out that the place was up for sale, forget the price but very tempting....

It's just a thought at the moment GM but thanks.

Back from a chilly willy walk

Even striding along as briskly as the legs will manage these days, I never got very warm. The sun is out though so hopefully it will warm up a bit soon. We seem to be in for a decent spell of weather.

Morning all. Very sunny here and warming up nicely.
Just had a cuppa and 2 ginger bickies.
Have to go out later as the dwp have cocked up the aunties pension.
Long story but paperwork they said they did have they now say they haven't got. I have the date, time and name of the person I spoke to but......no use, I have to get it signed by auntie and resend it. So annoying.

I presume you will get it out through the door?

Good day all. A beautiful day in beautiful Lancashire. It's a walking day but I'm staying home and Mrs P will go with our friends.

I injured my back last Friday/Saturday, I think I slept in a bad position, and it's been really uncomfortable ever since. It was better yesterday until I sat down at lunchtime and Mrs P had to help me up! Therefore I'm not going walking as I don't see a six mile hike with a rucksack as a good plan. We have a short walking holiday in tge Lakes from Sunday and I need to be OK for that.

So I'll strip the beds, hoover etc. and do the Aldi dash.

New dust bags and filter for my vacuum cleaner arrived yesterday. And it's alive once again although the smell of burning was a bit much

I'm sure the smell will go after a while. Well I hope so anyway

Update---
Dog walked, milk purchased and two loads of washing done. It's not 9.30 yet. Phew.
I might go and get a haircut in a while.

I reproofed my Barbour jacket with spray on Nikwax yesterday and it's stinking the place out!
MrsD don't like!
