The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Morning again. Pleasant 6 mile hilly walk done. Really quite chilly but bright and some low mist hanging in the valleys making it rather nice.

Any fun guys tell me what the orange things are?

It is feeling autumnal here. Cooler and lots of leaves are falling from the trees due to stress probably.

I've had to look out a warmer fleece to put on for a while until the house warms up. It has cats on the front and says "Cats make me happy. Humans make my head hurt". 🐱

Morning all.

Had to take a break for a few days.
My old doggie took a turn for the worse last Saturday and we had to have her put down.
MrsD and I have been devastated.
RIP Dottie my faithful friend.
Best dog we ever had.

Sorry to hear that.

Bad news indeed,
my sister told me lasy night that they had to put down their labradoodle as she had cancer of the spleen.

Oh no.........there's the Jehovah's Witnesses starting trawling the doors again. Sorry if anyone is a follower, but they annoy me. I don't know of any other religion that comes knocking on doors. They used to often wake me up when I was night shift which really hacked me off.

Hide behind the sofa, that's what the kids and I used to do in Birmingham whenever they came around.

Ask them how they would feel if you knocked on their door and tried to convince them that there is no God.
I did that once and they said I was wrong.
I asked them to prove it.
They tried to arrange a Bible study.
I quoted the Bible at them.
They eventually went away when they realised they were on a hiding to nothing.
They prey on the weak and ignorant.

Tuna mayo sandwich and a cuppa for lunch. The house is finally starting to warm up a bit in the sun. Should be nice for another walk later.

Salut. I have a bit more information I forgot to pass on. When we were talking to the locals in Whitehaven they told us that if you cycle to Sunderland, you actually do the C2C and walkers do the Coast to Coast. You have been warned.

Good afternoon folks,
Back from seeing my consultant and the " Scores on the Doors " are ok 😎. I had to get two buses to the Hospital, and the regular bus that goes there now displays " Royal Bournemouth Hospital and Air Show " 🏥✈️ .
We have the Patio doors open and keep dashing outside when we hear the sound of " interesting " aircraft. The usual Chinook went over this morning plus a few " Sleazy Jet " and Ryanair flights heading in and out of Hurn.
It's also green bin day, they usually arrive late afternoon.
