The Retirement Thread

Housework done. Bedding in the machine. Still wet here. Now sitting down with a cup of coffee.

Chicken curry with rice today.

The lane is shut today by BT so shopping day will be tomorrow.

I have started watching a dark Danish drama on Netflix called The Chestnut Man. I keep getting the feeling that I have seen it before but it has been available for no more than a year and I can't find any evidence that I HAVE watched it.

A bit worrying if it turns out that I DID watch it in 2021, but I am enjoying it so that is what counts.

I have the last 2 hours of the men's Tour of Flanders to watch and then the women's race. I usually skim through the coverage to catch up on the first few hours but once a year or so I watch a race from start to finish to get a full appreciation of how long and hard it is.

Then I will start watching the Tour of the Basque Country. I love the scenery there but it always seems to be raining!

Speaking of which... No sunshine here today. It is milder and damp. I will go out for a gentle stroll to pick up a Metro and get some fresh air. Don't worry - I will keep my distance and not spread Covid further!

Ah yes - C*v*d! I am 2/3 over it now. Still a bit bunged up and weak though. My pal wants to come over tomorrow from Hebden Bridge so I said I would take another test tomorrow afternoon. That will only be 7 days or so since the original positive result so there might be another positive. Hopefully not though.

Yep. Well I hope so.

Yep. Well I hope so.

And if it isn't, you go hungry?

Is that left-hand window fully closed?

No, it's my neighbour who likes to keep it cracked open.

What I think is weird is how the cottages appear out of true in that shot.

Think it might actually be the third. Final one I believe. I always enjoy anything Nicola Walker is in.

She was killed off in the detective series Unforgotten and I read something a few days ago about who her replacement was rumoured to be, but damned if I can remember now. Another excellent series.

You are correct madam. 😊

Mrs SD has just confirmed with a rolling of her eyes! 😁

Hello all

ACtually straight failed at Wordle yesterday - 2 option left on the last line
or have I said that before
must be getting old!!!


anyway - 2nd line today I had 3 letter green
finally got it on the very last line!!

Also found out that we are grandkid sitting on Thursday this week. Which involves picking the oldest up from school as usual.
WHich may be rather more complex than usual because it is a 10 minutes drive from their house - basically around Aintree Racecourse which MAY be rather busy around then!!!
(something to do with horses and young women getting dressed up - although how they get a dress on a horse beats me)

Anyway - intermittent miserable rainy weather with some wind today - bike can stay in the shed!!

Nope.

And the lane is open. I don't even know if they shut the dam thing.

The Eagle has landed in the Peak District.
Uneventful tow up the M5 and M6 - I wasn't really looking forward to that, to be honest.
The weather up here has reminded me why we moved to Devon!
Currently in the Manifold Inn at Hulme End.

I don't have a sniffle, I'm now officially classifying this as a cold. Tested Saturday, Sunday and today. All negative.

I mentioned to Mrs P we won £25 this month. She has come up with a new classification for Premium Bond wins; £25 = bottle of gin, £50 = two, etc. I'm starting to worry about her.

Swimming pool filled with gin for the big one? 😄

Another very gentle walk done and the pj’s are on so that’s me in for the day.
