The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

We have a similar " Second Tuesday " meet up of friends. We've known each other for nigh on forty years, baby sat each others kids and supported each other throughout life's ups and downs.

Exactly the same here Tenkaykev. When I say grown up together I'm thinking first kids, family tragedy, no money, joys, sorrows, the people who are there every step of the way for you.

We used to laugh one day we could all share a carer..........it's getting a bit close now! 🤣🤣

Marinate the meat overnight with some nice spices.

Putting herbs or spices in Scouse is a hanging offence to my wife

as with a lot of people from 'round here' there is only one way to make it
every family says it differently and everyone is right
it is normally the way the woman's mother taught her

Hence I make it exactly how my wife told be her mother told her to make it

personally I would add herbs, spice and maybe some more veg
but The Law is The Law

Oh - and just booked 2 tickets for the Aussie Pink Floyd in November next year

Several other people have said they would like to come as well
but I have been here before and by the time everyone has checked with each other, discussed it, checked with relelvant partners and generally faffed about - then all the tickets will be gone

so we just got ours and told everyone else to get a move on and we'll see them there if they get tickets


Seen them many years ago in Llanduno when I lived there and they were freekin' amazing

I saw the Aussie Pink Floyd last month at the Cambridge corn exchange.
They were absolutely fantastic.

Good morning all. By the cringe its cold.
I got up at 0550 as my legs were aching so much. They ease up if I can shuffle around a bit

Morning. I knew it was freezing so stayed in bed as long as I could. Last recorded temperature at the nearest weather station is minus 8

Not sure if I want to risk a walk or not.

Good morning all.
The snow is about 6 inches deep this morning, but it has stopped snowing for the time being.
Two of the cats went out, one came back immediately, the other bounded off through the snow.
There is the usual travel chaos, because of the snow and ice.😂

Morning all

Off to the Affinity shopping centre in Bideford this morning. It used to be called Atlantic Village; God knows why they changed the name.
Hopefully the roads won't be too much of a skating rink.

Morning everyone . It’s a cold and grey start to the day here in Coventry but at least we have no snow to contend with as per normal tbh . I am no weather expert but I always think this area ( Coventry Rugby Leamington Warwick ) has less snow than places in England of the same latitude or even places to the south of us ( like Stratford and Banbury ) One day when I am really bored I must try and look up the figures.
Anyway stay safe and stay warm everyone 😀😀

Good morning from a chilly, sunny Lancashire. It seems its not as cold here as around the rest of the country. I haven't lit the stove yet, which indicates it's not that cold here. I was a bit surprised to wake to headlines of travel chaos across the UK, mind you it seems the south-east is bad which means it must be bad.

I have a cold. Woke in the middle of the night but after a brew went to sleep again for a couple of hours from 6ish. Is it too early for a hot toddy??

Today will be mooching about doing bits. I'd planned to do the housework but my cold is putting a stop to that plan.

Last night's film was The African Queen. Out of nine only one of us, the host, could recall watching it from start to finish before. We has a good laugh.

I was always told that Coventry is in a dip and most of the bad weather goes over the top of us.
