The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all

Well.....it turns out that the buyers of our place haven't withdrawn as threatened after all. In fact, they are still very keen according to our estate agents. Their mortgage offer runs out in April, so we still have a bit of time to sort things out. We are maintaining an interest in the Watchet property but have started looking at other places that we might be able to complete on more quickly.
Stayed overnight in Minehead, so we are doing a few drive bys today and we have a viewing at a place on Exmoor on Monday.
We'll sort something out, I'm sure.

What a headache this property buying lark is.

After 54 years I trust my wife......... she would only murder me, not some stranger.
However I will report back tomorrow (if I am still here).

He's late reporting back!!

Shuffled around parkrun this morning, couldn’t keep up with Mrs Tenkaykev. Granddaughter sleepover tonight and the Christmas lights and Carol service is on up the road so we’ll probably wander up. I’m back in bed now, just for a bit of a rest.

A slobbing day for me. Shower had. Internet browsed and I have bought odds and sods of craft supplies.

Pork for lunch today. No idea what we will have with it but hey how.

I recorded a film on film 4 last night so I might watch that tonight as there is sod all else on.

I walked out for 3 miles this morning and shuffled back. 33 minutes for a 5k. Old age and injuries aren't fun Still enjoyed it though and that's the main thing.

It's miserable here now so an afternoon siesta could be tempting for me too.

The dog has been walked, and a bimble out on the bike for some essentials from the local shops.
I have bought a nice piece of rolled loin of pork for tomorrows dinner. I think pork is a very underrated meat.

Quite busy at Upton House parkrun this morning. There was an Air Ambulance fund raising initiative plus a resuscitation tutorial and demonstration that was quite well received.

We had luxury croissants with honey earlier.
In a while we will have
Brie De Meaux* cheese on crackers.
* We enjoy Brie and I read about this being a bit special. We shall know shortly.
We will wash it down with a glass of Chardonnay
