The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all, The dog has been walked and domestics done. It is one of those wet,, damp but mild days here. I don't think it is actually going to get light today. Off to the shops later to get the few goods Sainsburys couldn't deliver yesterday, ie, ginger biscuits and bottles of Pinot and Malbec. Then to the pub for a couple at lunchtime.

Persisting it down here so going to spend an hour in the gym (the garage!) doing some indoor training.

Turbo or rollers?

Nope, gone right over my head. Have I missed something????

I sell glass repair resins that I buy in bulk and decant to sell in much smaller sizes. I do not call what I do work so I feel entitled to be here. Unlike Drago who works 5 days a week as an agony aunt and Dirk who I reckon is a pub tester.

Afternoon all. Busy morning deleting a load of junk of the desktop, trying to free up some icloud and dropbox space for a new batch of photos.
Busy day yesterday as well, re-upholstering the dining room chairs, sitting comfortably now!

Whisper it quietly, exercise bike.

I have just been talking to my mum on the phone. She was telling me that my brother went into Birmingham city centre to do some shopping and he was shocked at the number of homeless people are there and in some places they have set up tents. Never seen that in Brum before.

Think they may need to thaw the butter a bit make it easier to spread!!

I said the same about Preston this time last year - I don't go in to town often. Manchester is getting better I'm glad to say. Thanks in no small part to Andy Burnham, Mayor, getting off his arse and actually doing something - rare for most politicians.

I don't think people are aware of the scale of the problems in this country........I'm now going to make a pot of tea before I hit full on rant mode.

I havn't been in the city centre for years. I understand an awful lot of shops and stores have shut down. Most of the ones left are rubbish. I used to love window shopping during my lunch break. I worked in the city centre.
