The Retirement Thread

I don’t think that made it to No 1 in the UK charts?

You're correct, made it as far as No. 2 only.

Only last weekend we couldn't get our heavy petrol mower going after the winter layoff. Even got a new spark plug for it and still no go.

Bit the bullet and went and bought a battery cordless thing from Home base - brilliant thing. So light comparatively and a nice cut too. More than enough charge to do our lawns too.

We have an electric mower for small areas. The main one is a ride on mower.

Offer him some help at least!
Maybe even supervise...

I helped him push the dam thing out of the log store where we keep it over winter. That was enough especially when I did an elegant fall backwards into the mower. I now have an ouchy arm and hurt pride

I haven't got a mower
Shopping done and £77 lighter in the bank

I helped him. I went out and turned something when he told me to... it still doesn't work.

I enjoyed the first episode of the final series of Better Call Saul on Netflix last night. The only problem was the 2+ years delay due to Covid and the star having a heart attack on set during filming - I had literally lost the plot! It took me most of the episode to remember what had happened in series 5, and even then details were sketchy.

It is becoming increasingly obvious how long after Breaking Bad this prequel was made though. Bob Odenkirk, playing the younger Jimmy/Saul, is actually 60 years old now!

Did you get my Mars bars?

I've got 3 mowers. 1 electric and 2 petrol.

So it's your fault then.

No what Mars bars

Salut tout le monde. My renewal for house/contents insurance has come this morning as it is due next month. It has gone up by 87 pounds for the year. Time to shop around again then.

Front tyre of my red Brommie was flat so I pumped it up and got ready to head out. I waited for a few minutes and yes, a puncture. Fortunately a front wheel one. Quickly found the puncture and patched the inner tube, turned the tyre inside out and eventually found the beggar!
The tyres are Schwalbe One Tan Walls, not the most sturdy of tyres but easy to remove and refit.

Another walk done since it’s so nice. That’s nearly 11 miles for the day between my two walks and shopping.

Met up with a neighbour from the next street who is a chief paramedic on the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance. They have been putting aerial photographs up on their Facebook page of places they fly over so asked him to try and get a couple of the village I’m from originally if they are going over that way.

Gorgeous here. Had to take my granddaughter and a grandson to town.

About to have a Van sandwich now
