The Retirement Thread

Morning. Heavy rain all night and we seem to have rain at some point most days for a while. Paying for the dry spell now.

Morning back.
Here is a thought (doesn't happen often).

Like Drago and maybe others I wear the same undies for 5 or 6 weeks or until they get too 'sticky'.......then I get a nice feeling when I put clean(ish) ones on.
That is one of life's great pleasures that you will never enjoy!!!!
My heart goes out to you 🙂

G'day cobbers.
A very 'bitty' day beckons.
Up at stupid O'clock again so will be knackered by mid morning.
Yesterday......
Had a lovely veggie stir fry and will finish that off today.
My neighbour took me out to the pub.....a pleasant 2 hours.
Cricket, golf and tennis on tv......maybe I should get another 2 TVs ??

Morning all

Off to Minehead at lunchtime for fish and chips on the seafront.
We haven't told our best mates that MrsD's got a car now, so that should surprise them when we turn up in it.

Good morning folks.

Good morning all.
It's going to be a warm day here. 25-27⁰c.
Yesterday I had a good catch up with my mate, visited several craft ale bars during the afternoon and didn't get home until 8.30 last night.
Tonight I am out with another friend to the Shepherds Bush Empire to see South Side Johnny and the Asbury Dukes, I have not seen them before, but I do like their style of music.

Morning folks bit overcast here but not windy so will go for a spin in a while. In the garden all my produce seems to be ready at the same time....why i grew 3 rows of lettuce and 3 rows of beetroot i havent a clue i cant eat broad beans every day for a week and theres lots of other veg i'll try to give away..... ho hum too much is better than not enough i guess!

I like this one by Mervyn Peake

CROCODILES
She stared at him as hard as she
Could stare, but not a single blush
Suffused his face like dawn at sea
Or roses in a bush -
For crocodiles are very slow
At taking hints because their hide's
So thick it never feels de trop,
And tender like a bride's

I have belatedly risen! Late in from the gig last night.

Morning all. Woke up at 5.30 after a stupid nightmare, so plenty of time to get the bike ready for this mornings ride to poffee (local coffee shop/post office)

Looks nice and sunny, hopefully will stay that way.

Have a nice day everyone

You have my sympathy. Having to force crispy fish and chips down whereas I will be fine dining on re heated veggie stir fry. Yummy🙂

Back from a very humid walk. The rain held off though apart from a slight drizzle at one point. Couldn't believe how quickly the river has filled up!

I've been metal detecting, my first find
