The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I am officially knackered. Son and partner visiting later so I am off for a lie down.
@PaulSB if LFC can do as well against Arsenal as your team did yesterday I will be happy......sadly I see the opposite

🤞 for you. Tyler Morton, who you've loaned us, is a star in the making. Excellent footballer and a great attitude. Looks about 16 and someone really should get him a pair of shorts that fir. We were very, very good yesterday.

Definitely one to watch.

Knowing Kev it was intentional!

Fish finger sarnie for lunch. It is now very windy out there and the rain isn’t far away.

😉
I much prefer being labelled Venerable than Vulnerable.
I’d not mentioned it previously, but my ego was sorely dented last week. We’d collected our granddaughter from school and boarded the quite busy bus. Mrs tenkaykev and Willow took a seat, while I moved down the bus and stood. A gentleman glanced up at me and immediately stood and offered me his seat. I thanked him profusely and thought to myself “ sh*t, do I really look that old “😮

I love fish finger sarnies. Should have them more often

Salut. Started the day with nothing in mind so we walked Molly to Angel Bay where she run around with her two brothers, then has a coffee at DiL who has the two brothers.
When we got home, my wife started putting plants away from the decking so I joined her and put the garden furniture away in the cellar and then proceeded to start painting the decking railings. I gave it 3 coats of fencing paint. There is plenty more to do but that's enough for today.

Yes, I have had people on the London underground offer me their seat. After reading all the negativity about the insularity of Tube travellers I was quite surprised in a nice sort of way. I rationalised it to Mrs Tenkaykev by explaining that they were probably star struck due to my striking resemblance to Richard Gere.

Definitely some lots of typos in this post!!!

I did the Wordle and the Dordle today then added the Weaver to the list of puzzles, you have two words and have to change the top word into the bottom by changing one letter at a time.

Morning. I went out early in the dark for a run. Head torch required. The legs really didn't want to co-operate but managed a slow 4 miles. I'll have a nice steep in the bath now before my porridge.

We have heavy due this afternoon so a siesta might be tempting.

Chasing Santa by any chance?

I had porridge for supper this evening. Made with oat milk and I snipped a few apricots, dates and prunes into the bowl before microwaving. Finished off with a drizzle of Biona date syrup, it was excellent.

WoW WoW and double WoW.
Went to our daughters 30th wedding anniversary last night. What a great night it was.
SiL is singer in a group so knows lots of other singers etc......entertainment was excellent.
Negative was.....I can't face beer now and the only decent whisky they had was [B[Jameisons (spelling??) [/B]and I am suffering this morning. Self induced so sympathy not expected

No "I" in Jameson's. I just checked the bottle.

Night night everyone.
I had a good sail today , it was far too windy for me today but kept plugging away , I never troubled the leading four boats , but finished a happy 5 th out of 10 boats on the water 😀. ( that’s my normal position 😂) .
And I am happy with that, though the bottle of wine I have consumed this evening might have something to do with that . 😂

Is it Monday again already?
A bit of a restless night, Mrs Tenkaykev is coughing intermittently so I’ve decamped to the back bedroom. I’m also a bit achey as I did my longest run for quite a while yesterday, 20k. It was more of a “ Survival Shuffle “ towards the end but I managed to keep going.
A trip to the shops this morning, we’re almost out of Paracetamol and I realise we don’t have a clinical thermometer.

Morning. Up far too early as usual but wasn’t sleepy. The moon and stars are shining and it’s only around 6 degrees at the moment.

I enjoyed Karen Pirie last night. It’s based on one of Val McDermid’s books so hoping they might make another series. Don’t think there’s much on this evening on the main channels so it’ll be a Brokenwood Mystery on Drama channel.
