Barnet,
I received an email from my favourite trainer manufacturers saying that the cost of trainers is Increasing from the 25th July due to the costs going up everywhere, so of course I had to buy a couple of pairs :laugh:. I've had my eye on one particular pair for a while so I took the opportunity to get them at a reduced price and the other pair a different colour were reduced by £20 so of course I had to get them. They are bargain and I'm in fact saving money in a way:laugh::laugh:

There is logic there.
But some might call it panic buying :laugh:

Salut. I have a question for all grand parents here. We have a 9 year old grand son who is absolutely mad on football. His favourite team is Liverpool. when he comes over, all he wants to do is play football in the garden, with me, all day. Well, I can't play all day as it wears me out and to be honest, I am not that keen on football either.
At the moment, the TdF is handy as I can use that as an excuse to relax a bit but even when the ads are on, he wants to go out and play until the TdF starts again.
Frankly, I would rather see him in his own house as I don't have to play then.
So, fellow retirees, do you suffer this problem too, football or other sport ?

YES! ;)

Now... when did I last hear that?

oh yes, it was when Mrs @BoldonLad came back from her last shopping trip ;)
 
I was going to post this earlier, but it sounded too ridiculous, but this is how it happened.

Weird dream I had last night :-

It all started at Southampton railway station I was wearing an old gray overcoat with a a soldier's helmet tied to me by a piece of string and I was trying to get to Bishopstoke, I found myself outside and a truck full of other men where going to Eastleigh and they said hop on.
The truck stopped at the junction near Bishopstoke and I got off and one guy said it's that way mate pointing up the road, I found myself outside on a big house, I knocked on the door and a man came out and said what do you want, I live here I said, no you don't you went to the New Forest. I left and I was stood outside a bungalow, what do you want said the owner,I live here I said, no you don't you got married and moved to Marchwood the same thing happened when I got there too, and had to go to Botley. At Botley a couple were in the garden and they told be that I use to live here, but the courts evicted you and your wife sold the house to us, but I think you rented a flat in Chilworth.
I found myself looking at the burnt out remains of a large manor house so I left, I found myself at a block of flats in North Baddesley and was told you lived here but you moved to the next block try there. I stood outside a door and I put my hand in my pocked and found a key and opened the door, in the hall were four mice and they said you don't live here any more, you went off to the war and was killed, your dead I tell you..... dead.


I woke up in a cold sweat....... I just hope there's not a part two

Aside from the mice, have you been to those places?
