The Retirement Thread

You've only the one pair of feet though.* Just like the rest of us.


*You do only have the one pair?

Starting to think I'm a centipede with the amount of shoes I have.

No......was windy but nothing like that.
The rain woke me up around 5ish then kept me awake.

Mid afternoon nap to make up for lost sleep.

I have an afternoon kip anyway......does that mean II can have TWO kips

Well if you have your afternoon kip, as well as your mid-afternoon kip, that'd be two.

Morning all . Just starting to rain here in Warwick, still quite warm though . My mundane plan for the day is , get my hair cut , do some shopping then buy and fit a inner tube to my daughters bike ( I have loads of tubes but they are all presta. )
Tbh I hate buying shoes as I have wide feet so when I do fine a pair that fit well , I always go back and by another pair a couple of weeks later 😂😀😀

My feet are wide too hence snapping up the wide fit trainers earlier. Love roomy, comfortable shoes.

It was dry and windy when I walked to Yoga, I came out and it was and blowing a gale, its only a ten minute walk home but I walked in like a drowned rat. our plans to go out for lunch have been abandoned, I'll be making sandwiches in a bit.

My morning run along the Roman road was pleasant, very breezy but mostly sheltered. It's currently chucking it down, just as MrsTKK is about to leave to catch the bus. Her plan is to get off the bus about half way to our granddaughters school and walk / jog down through the chines and along the prom to the school. I am getting the next bus and will meet her there.

Took the bins in and carried on for a walk. I could see black clouds so put the new wet weather gear on. Nearly an hour and a half of torrential rain and I arrived home comfortable and bone dry so well chuffed.

We have heavy rain here

 

[Dirk]

Well......'we've' decided which sofas, beds, tables, chairs, rugs, lamps, crockery, cutlery and white goods we are having at the new place.
Well......when I say 'we'....... you chaps know what I mean.
I've just got to pay for it.

What an excellent excuse Mo, haven't heard that one before

I have spent the afternoon in Ikea, Gateshead, with daughter No4, whilst she chose bedroom furniture (Wardrobe, drawers).

An afternoon in Ikea is not a pleasant experience to begin with, but, with Daughter No4 it is absolute purgatory.

A few drinks, tonight, to recover form the experience, I think

our son works in an Ikea, on the cleaning team.

I was delighted to retire from full time work ( fire brigade ) over 11 years ago.

Two weeks ago , age 65 , I was made redundant from my part time job with a Glasgow cycling charity. ( very long and needless process )
Big gap in my life
