The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Mo, the Crieff Hydro is looking for experienced staff. You've worked in "government hotels", do you think they'd count that?

Wouldn’t work for them anyway. The boss is a nob! Not a patch on his sadly departed dad.

He's in need of nearly a 1,000 staff for his various hotels/clubs.

Little half hour wander done for some fresh air before my programme comes on. The parked cars are starting to frost over already.

We had yesterdays trip to the cosy Cafe today after our friends left, the first time my Good lady had left the house since Saturday, I left the ladies to gossip this morning and got some errands done, this afternoon I did some pottering about in the garden, the weeds and grass are still growing, I also got a line full of sheets dried, their on the clothes horse airing now, most definitely a better day than yesterday.

Taken earlier, inside.

Morning. I looked in earlier to do Wordle then went out for a 3 mile jog. Being a typical rain magnet I seem to attract the rain. It came on within minutes of going out then went off when I was nearly home

I've stuck a wash on but it will just have to dry inside.

Tonight's telly will probably be an old Dalziel and Pascoe, although I see there's a new series starting on BBC 1 that might be worth a watch called Tokyo Vice.

Was it?

 

[Mo1959]

Was it?

I watched Dalziel and Pascoe so will need to catch up on it.

Morning. The frost lifted again overnight so it’s a few degrees above again. I’ll have a walk soon as there’s some rain due later this morning, but only for a few hours.

Good morning from a very wet and dark Coventry.

Morning all

Off to Wells in a couple of hours.
We're staying at the 15th C, Grade 1 listed Crown Hotel on the market Square, as featured in the film Hot Fuzz, in the middle of the city.
It's market day today, so we'll have a mooch around when we get there.
Looking around the cathedral tomorrow.

Heavy rain here as it has been all night. A day to stay wrapped up and warm.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
It's dark and very cloudy outside. Rain is on it's way.
We have the 3 monthly chiropractor service this morning. Then MrsP and her friend are off to central London to an art exhibition near to Marble Arch for the afternoon. That leaves myself and Tom free to visit the Mitre for a couple of ales

@classic33 Your in depth knowledge is required.
MrsD has had some weird dreams.
•3 nights ago (in her dream) I killed a woman with a screwdriver then dumped her body in our dining room.
•next night it was all about me breaking the spout off her best teapot.
•last night it was all about 1/2 an onion that I had left on the kitchen floor.
Now, I have checked and there is no dead body in the dining room.
What do you deduce from all that ?

I deduce that YOU are to blame for everything! (No surprise there, you are a man)

The sun is out now and it's a tad breezy so I have put the bedding in the washing machine. I'll put it out to dry when it's finished. You have to take the opportunity to dry stuff outside whenever you can.
