The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

We've had a good deal from Saga in recent years........about the only useful thing I've ever encountered from them though I suspect if I wanted to take equity release to book a river cruise Saga would happily relieve me of a large lump of cash.

Its the usual circus, I'll find it cheaper elsewhere, phone them up, then they'll either match the quote or I'll move elsewhere, one year the cheaper quote was from the people I was already insured with, I detest the routine.

Good day people. Its cool, grey and damp. Lots of rain last night which is not what I wanted.

Club TT went very well yesterday. 75 actually started as we had 7 DNS. No incidents, some very good but not spectacular times which given the weather - tailwind out, headwind home - was about right. Our club won both the male and female events.

Family day today with all the kids home to celebrate #1 son's birthday.

@Mo1959 have I missed something? You've adopted a stray cat?

Lots to do. Catch you all later.

We have House and Contents with Hastings which only increased by £10 this year which I thought reasonable. I thought these big automatic increases had been stopped? Certainly Saga only increased our cars by +/-£10.

Salut tout le monde. Blue sky and sunny here so far. Let's hope it carries on.
Plan for today:
- Angel Bay for Molly shortly.
- Trip to the tip at 11.20.
- Bike ride.
- TdF at 4 pm.
- Whatever I feel like doing for the rest of the day.
Have a nice day every one.

Morning very cloudy here with 20c, not too sure what I'll do today as nothing planned as yet

Mrs Tenkaykev remarked on the number of adverts for cruise holidays. She also remarked that it was odd that in one advert, only two of the passenger’s had disembarked to go on a picturesque excursion unsullied by hordes of tourists 🤔

Just had to order a new desktop printer.
Old one decided to play up big time this morning.

Done walking, the clouds went and the sun came out it's now 31c

Dirk,I am your huckleberry.
On the pet thing, for me it is a lifetime commitment. I do not approve of those who get a cute pup or kitten and discard it when it is too much trouble or isn't cute anymore and all too frequently replace it with a younger cuter animal.

You're a Daisy if you do....

Ended up running 10K, the majority with Mrs Tenkaykev. She headed back and I did a few laps of Pocket Park to make up the 10k distance. We peeked over the fence at the " Lost Pond " and spotted a new Badgers Sett. When I first discovered the pond I thought that it had been blocked with a big mound of sand, looking today I thought that the mound of sand had got larger, it was Mrs Tenkaykev who spotted the hole disappearing into the earth, and the footprints of a badger.

Mo......I have to apologise.

Honestly** I had just finished when I remembered that you asked me to send you some.
**you do believe me don't you

Been around (as a fairly common thing*) for a while. I think it originated in Portugal?. The first place I saw it was the Nando's Restaurant chain, but, I know, now, you can buy the sauce in our local ASDA.

* well, not that common, if you haven't heard of it
