The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Good morning.

Nice and cool in our house at present and probably will be most of the day - stone cottage. Today's task is to buy tickets for Springsteen. First tranche of sales started at 9.00. I'm using the phone app and laptop on the website. Been chucked out of the queue 7/8 times already. I'm not hopeful. There's another tranche of tickets at 9.00am tomorrow and Wednesday!

I see you've been upsetting the Wordle thread again! How that could remotely be construed as a spoiler beats me though. Some people just seem to love to complain in this place. Nit picking or what!

Where do you find the energy! I feel so lazy now.

It stops me getting bored when I can't get out.

I've had a spam message this morning, supposedly from the Post Office, "Sorry we missed you Saturday, please click on the link to book a fresh slot", the phone picked it up as spam put it in the spam folder and I took great delight in deleting it.

Just to add my birthday wishes to @12boy. It’s been a pleasure reading your contributions over the years, wonderful to get a different perspective from the other side of the pond. Have a virtual pint on me 🍺 👍🎂

I've not been on that thread for ages, I'm still doing the wordle though, I got the Wordle, Dordle and Quordle this morning, though one in the Quordle was annoying, it was obvious and a word they've used before but it took me ages to work it out.

Happy birthday to @12boy from Mrs exlaser and I .

Bit of breeze now. I've closed the back windows and shut the blinds and curtains while the sun is hitting that part of the house but still have the front open. Not sure whether to leave it open to the breeze later or shut it up too.

Up to 31 degrees later. We’ve got the patio doors open and I can hear the flights heading out from Hurn. Probably holidaymakers trying to escape the heat🤔☀️☀️☀️
