The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Love Braun electric shavers. Tried Phillips a few years ago but as @Tenkaykev mentioned, they ripped mu neck to shreds, worse than anything I used to get with a wet shave (could never get on with it, very sensitive skin). I tip I've found, if you feel the shaver is dragging a little, put a little bit of talc on your face before shaving, it makes the shaver glide over your skin, Johnson's baby is the best (other brands are available!).

I "normally" put some Boots pre shave on which is good.

I used to use that but then I found shave powder sticks, the only trouble is now, they're hard to get and VERY expensive and all they are is compacted talc. I went off the pre shave as it was very greasy and meant you have to wash the shaver after every use, with talc, give it a tap to remove the talc and maybe a rinse after every 3 or 4 shaves.

More money towards the car repair it's going in tomorrow isn't it

Your right tomorrow it is. I'll be happy to get my car back, but the bill will be painful to say the least.

Morning peeps.

May I wish myself a happy 76th birthday?

Got to sort the black bin out. They "never" collect before 1200 but sods law says if I don't put it out early they will be here.

Happy birthday old 'un. 😂

I have to remember to use mine I took it a 12 mile round trip to the next village and back and started my walk from there for a change of scenery. Must try and do that once a week as it was very peaceful. A mix of a little quiet minor road and a bit of cycle path for 8 miles.

I hadn’t bothered with breakfast so maybe I’ll have burned a few ounces of lard off.

Morning all

Tip run this morning to dump an old office chair.
That's about as exciting as it gets today.

You could tow the chair there, with yourself in the chair.

Lamb+slow cooker=beautiful.

Evening all.
Just got back from a surprise few days in Suffolk. My mates, Sisters cottage near to Snape is in the middle of nowhere. A little place called Gromford
7 cottages, probably ex farm workers places, and two stables.
No telly, no phone signal and no wifi.
The weather was good, misty in the mornings, but nice and sunny during the day. A good few days were had, eating, drinking, walking and playing silly board games and card games.
