The Retirement Thread

[slow scot]

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

So when are you biking up here for a Celtic game?

Through this way first to meet St Johnstone on Saturday. I expect a drubbing.

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.

Yep, I just agree these days to anything which involves the house......................wisdom comes with age....................

It's easy to waste idle some time away in here.

Good morning. Stuck my head out the back door and all seems mild and calm. With luck today will see the end of my list of things I must do. Hopefully this will mean I get a lay in tomorrow as I won't wake with stuff on my mind. So cycle club medals to order, deliver trophies to engraver, complete AGM minutes, post club rides for a month. Geez, it's a full time job. Finish editing a web page for the U3A.

Later I can do good stuff so I'll plant my onion sets and head up to the card afternoon at the club. Anyone else notice a lot of the formatting options seem to have gone AWOL on here? Scrub that, working now! Idiot.

Handy recipe tips can be found elsewhere from your resident celebrity chef...................

Good morning folks,
A sunny but sad day ahead. We’re going to the funeral of one of my friends and running buddies. We’d known each other for more than 40 years. A lovely, gentle family man, keen ornithologist, steam train enthusiast as well as an accomplished athlete.

Good morning folks, up for a p about four and couldn't get back to sleep, its calmed down a bit outside, its nice and dry and bright now, not a lot on today but might be out to lunch.

Morning. I went out early with the head torch for a jog. I am too embarrassed at my snail like pace to be seen in daylight!

A drizzly start but it's dry now, if breezy.

Good morning all.
We're off down to our sons place this morning to help him start packing up his stuff.
The sale of his maisonette has gone through, with a provisional completion date of the 14th.
He will probably move back in with us for a while, his girlfriend is also selling her place, but is a few weeks behind in the process. They haven't found anywhere suitable yet, but are looking at a couple of places this weekend.
Should they not be able to find any thing, they are thinking about short term rental until the find something.
