The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

As I may have mentioned, sounds like the firm I worked for for 28 years. After umpteen years of buying IT systems that 'would do' and making us to adapt to it, they finally bit the bullet and had a stock control system designed inhouse after actually talking to the staff and supervisors - !
And I had to put up with the previous systems for 26 years - !

You were made in a factory!

Not a girl thing?, it is 2024! 😊

Well done to your wife for enrolling her

Yes - I know

we have emphasised that she is getting really good at teh stretching and similar moves - just like gymnastics

hopefully that might help

A the climbing centre there were quite a few girls there - and quite a few women
Unfortunately most of them seem to have been climbing for quite a while so she might feel rather embarrassed in comparison

It was a bit stragne seeing a kid about 3 years old climbing up a whole wall like he was walking!

I have pottered in my workroom today.

And we had bacon sandwiches for lunch. We even managed to have a meal without one of the ganets turning up and wanting food.

Just been told that my older brother, who I haven't seen or heard from for the last 12 years, died this morning.
Mixed feelings.

Yes, I can understand. One of my grandsons has been “into” the climbing since age 2 or 3 (now almost 15). Taking to climbing walls etc used to scare us more than him! 😊

Sorry to see that.

It's odd trying to work out how you should be feeling in that sort of situation.

Spent yesterday in Sheffield helping no1 daughter and SIL try and fit their quart sized house contents into a pint sized rental. My back hurts today so a little light gardening and a jigsaw

Odd day tomorrow.

Leccy going off AM while the electricity board do some work in the road, but don't know exactly when.

Hire car being collected, but don't know when.

So I think I'll get the place tided up bright and early and spend the day reading.

Getting colder….pickleball in the morning (indoors!), forecast is 2 degrees but feels like -3 😳🥶

Morning. Minus 3 again to start and all is sparkly out there again.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

A bit chilly, methinks.

Sad when situations developed like that but it must happen a lot.

Good morning all.
Obviously a cold one and again very dark.
I have the CH engineer coming "1st thing" to sort my none working radiator out. Looks like it needs a new valve, not the thermostatic part but the chrome part that fits in the rad.......he will need to empty the whole system to do that. Such things are sent to try us

Morning all

Shopping in Minehead this morning.
Not much else to do today.
Lot of thinking to be done.
