The Retirement Thread

I don't think we had a telly until 1960 and it was rented

Late 50s for us. I assume it was rented as I can't imagine my Dad being able to buy one.

Good morning,
Yesterday was chilly, the promised fine weather didn't arrive. I'm off out for a spin on the Brommie, back in time for the live Starship launch ( or very big boom ) 🚀💥

 

[Dave7]

It was a tad cool 1st thing.
I went to bed stupidly early last night with the result I had a restless night, hope it does 't start a viscious cycle.

Good morning folks.

Morning all,
It's damp and grey outside at the moment, but forecast to brighten up later.
The bin lorries have been down our road.
All the normal stuff to do today, plus a bimble out on the bike later on.

Damp but already warming up. But enough of my Y fronts, the weather is the same!

Mini D home today on a teacher training day, so a Q one planned here. Tidy up and music practice AM, light lunch, restring my acoustic bass this afternoon,

Good morning. 13⁰ and grey. I have ironed, tidied and empty the dishwasher. Thought about tea and decided I will seek permission to bulk out the leftovers from yesterday's family day.

Today is my only chance to ride till Saturday so I'll get my Mamil kit on and head off in 30 minutes or so...........just in time to cause bedlam on the village school run.

That really is about it. 👋

You iron your dishwasher?

Morning all

Got to sort out my workshop and garage today. Although I brought everything back from the storage unit, it's all just been dumped and I can't find stuff. Need to be organised!
Once that's done, I need to fix a fuel leak on my multi tool before I use it again.

I remember the 465/625 lines selector too - how technology has moved on!

You don't remember it that well........it was 405 lines or 625.
I can't ever remember not having a TV. My dad was a bit of a wizz with electrical stuff and used to repair folks tiles on the side. He had a large chest of drawers, in his garage, full of radio valves, capacitors, transformers et al. Our tele was never on the blink for more than a day. Earliest memories were Muffin the Mule around 1955.

Bonjour. I see @Mo1959 is having a lie in today. Misty here this morning so the sun should come out later on. All quiet on the western front.

 

[welsh dragon]

I think Mo is having a wander.

Wasn't that illegal back then?

Sounds like an offence doesn't it.
