Before they retire, many people asked themselves the same question " What will I do all day?" When you do take your retirement you stop asking that question because it all falls into place and you have time to do what you like when you like. I do and don't miss full time employment and taking orders from others.

Morning. Using my phone this morning as Bt appear to have disconnected my broadband. Haven’t had a text from Sky yet to tell me they are up and running to connect their hub. I’ll do it after my walk as I can’t be bothered faffing about with it just now.
Another frosty start.

Cold as a witches hind wotsit.

Morning all.....hope this finds you all well.
Phone tells me it is 0° but feels like -3°.
trying to build enthusiasm for an 0800 Aldi dash......not sure it will happen.
As said, I had the CH serviced and the rad' sorted. It is much improved. I had it on low overnight and it worked a treat.
A quiet day is in store.

The wind is biting. That's the kind of weather that kills the unprepared.
Good morning all.
It's cold outside this morning. -2⁰ at the moment. The sun is due to show itself later on, and it is going to be dry.
Today's task, other than the usual stuff, is to get up on the kitchen roof and clean the skylight, it's pretty grubby. While I'm there I'll do the back bedroom windows as well.

No snow here - just cold and breezy.
A few jobs to do around the house today.
Black sheep of the family.
My dad wrote him out of his will many years ago after, as he said to me - " You don't sh1t on your own doorstep".
My brothers loss - I got everything and I'm pretty certain he didn't know about it.
In some ways it's a relief that I no longer have to worry about him turning up on my doorstep.

He left a trail of confusion and bitterness wherever he went.A glutton for punishment then

Yesterday Mrs Tkk told me that she had entered the ballot for the Great North Run. Evidently it is partly because her mum came from Gateshead originally, and we've visited a few times over the last couple of years as her studies meant she had to use the Archives at the main library and University, and partly because she now" feels an affinity for the area." When she told me I thought it best to put my name down too, fingers crossed I don't get a place 😉.
What's next? With this really cold weather I'm expecting her to just don a T shirt for this morning's walk, and stop by the offie on our way home to pick up a couple of bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale 😁

I have one of those as well. Thankfully now that my mum has passed away I will never have to see him or have any kind of contact with him ever again.
