The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning, grey and chill, I have been catching up on the first few episodes of Ted Lasso on Apple TV. I’m very impressed with how the story is developing, lots of sweary stuff, ( it’s based around a football club ) but also lots of character and plot development. There really is some good stuff on there and I have three months free to explore further.

Cooooeeeee. I to watched it. I have to admit I wasn't that impressed witht the first episode. We had a bit if rain at around 4 am. Not much. It only lasted a few minutes

Stay safe peeps

I assume you refer to Granite.
I recorded it. Is it not worth watching?

You'll just be getting into the good stuff in that third month.

You might like it. I was more than a bit underwhelmed

Back from a chilly parkrun. Mrs Tenkaykev disappeared into the distance today and I couldn't catch her. There was a bitter wind blowing off the bay as it paralleled the shoreline. The loaf is still in the bread machine so we're debating having breakfast out.

I got a text message with this week’s parkrun finish time and was telling Mrs Tenkaykev about how although I felt wiped out today my times were actually improving. When I looked again I realised that the messages stack in reverse so I am getting slower🐢

Fish for us today. It started out quite bright, but it's now gone very dull and dark.

Its always difficult to judge a series after the first episode . But I think it’s going to be at the lighter end of the crime show spectrum. ( not that there is anything wrong with that 😀) . For me it had enough of interest to watch the next two episodes.

Back from Broadstone Christmas Parade. A magnificent turnout, a couple of thousand people all having a great time. A big fire engine led the way, about five marching bands, Cubs, Brownies, and several other local groups. There were a Dozen or more Harleys, all tricked out in fancy dress plus the Spiderman Marching band. The most impressive was the huge steam engine.

Its beginning to feel a lot like Xmas, buses to and from town rammed, I had trouble wriggling my Good lady into the wheelchair space in the bus home, city centre rammed and the sally army playing Xmas carols,The Snowman was on the telly when we got back, good lunch in the Bean and Brunch, we bumped into a friend when we were in the market so we spent an hour having lunch and a gossip.

Is that it, just a fish?

Five loaves too, perhaps?

And she took that long to eat it that it went dull and dark!
