The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

I was just thinkng the same thing.

I just had a look at the schedule for tonight.
Nothing took my fancy. Yet another new celebrity on celebrity "comedy" show on BBC2
I love the Beeb to bits, but they are trying my patience with all the celebrities and reality shows.
Mind you, the commercial stations are just as bad.

Oh I forgot.

Someone, apologies i can't remember who, asked about EasyJoint a product I've used......no, behave you lot.........to repoint the York stone flagging at the front of the house.

It's very good. Easy to apply, doesn't stain the stone and leaves no gaps. Happy to recommend. One tip though you must have a hosepipe available, it would be impossible without. It's expensive but for the small area I wanted to do it was good value compared with the hassle of the sand and cement alternative. I don't have a pointing tool and used the back of a spoon. Given me a far better result than I could achieve with sand and cement.

On that note - when out pation a d drive were done a few years ago they used that - it is advertised as 'brush in'
Problem is that a lot of it has just crumbled and fragmented

I had a bloke round (stop sniggering at the back!!!) to see what it would take to fix it and he said a lot of people just brush it in and leave it but it really needs pushing down properly otherwise there can be air gaps - water gets in, freezes and destroys it

They are all jumping on the bandwagon to make cheap nasty reality crap with so called schlebs that I have never heard of. A way of getting more bang for your buck as Americans say.

My bedding is drying outside. Crikey, I have been so efficient lately that I scare myself.

Superb effort, ordered a pack of vitamin tablets from Oxford Vitality at ten to nine this morning and they were dispatched at twenty past ten.

We have had the leftover chicken casserole from yesterday. My weather ap says we can expect rain at 2 pm.

All my bedding is dry and put away and clean bedding is on the bed.

I suspect if I want another walk it will need to be in the

Always knew there was a reason why I need lots of shoes and jackets!

Well, the caravan fire is out and I've despatched the PCB to the repair man. Should have it all back and working again next week.*

* Does that sound confident? The thing was a right b***h to remove - can't see it being easier to reinstall.
Still...I've probably saved myself about a grand by doing it myself.

Well they Said it would rain by about 2 pm and it's just started

You've marked everything for when you reassemble everything?
