The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Hello, wide awake at 3.00am but manged to get back to sleep till 5.00 so not too bad. Guess what? It's going to be hot. Nice and cool right now so I'll finish tidying and then pop up to the allotment for a couple of hours as I have two more beds to finish weeding and then a general tidy round. Might cut the grass, we will see.

Oh, yes. In case you missed it. The mighty Rovers were top of the league. Some interlopers from Hull and Watford moved above us yesterday........I am expecting normal service to be resumed when we play the Baggies this afternoon. Come on you Blues................................yes the football has started.

PS @Dave7 - smart meters sound like a good idea for you.

Cooooeeee. Hopefully last day before the temp drops and we have rain. I'm not unhappy about that I must admit.

Van der Valk is on tonight and a new series on BBC called marriage with Nicola walker and Sean Bean. Might be worth a gander.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning all.
Another hot day ahead, tomorrow it should be cooler with some rain. I'm not a hot weather person. My neighbour lives this weather, he lived in the middle east for 10 years, he hates the cooler/cold weather

It's strange that I could accept Van der Valk being spoken in English but Murder in Provence totally threw me ! Perhaps I couldn't understand what they were saying ?

Morning all . Hope we are all well . Didn’t sleep well but that’s normal for me when it’s this hot , our bedroom faces east so gets hot early, it was 26 degrees C at 8 am .
Am just packing my sailing bag ( ie putting in boots ,buoyancy aid and tee shirt and shorts 😂) . Tbh I don’t know if I will sail. There is not much wind forecast. It’s quite nice sailing in his heat if there is a proper breeze but it’s not so nice if all your doing is drifting along . 😀

Murder in provence was quite quirky but foer some reason I quite liked it. I'm a sad old person though so that probably explains it.

That actually made me laugh out loud. My kind of humour.

Cool and very pleasant 8 mile walk done. I love early Sunday mornings. It's the one time you can get some quiet roads and paths before everyone surfaces.

Porridge time now. I will enjoy Van Der Valk tonight and catch up on Marriage later.

Wonder if they'll do any more Madame Blanc mysteries. I enjoyed that too.

I think what threw me at the beginning was that I assumed that they were all Ex Pat's living in France and never quite accepted it !

Yes definitely enjoyed that.
