The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

To be pedantic
The clock read 6:20 - which could be anything between 6:20:00 and 6:20:59
then it read 7:23 - which could be anything between 7:23:00 and 7:23:59

so minimum time is 1 minute and 2 seconds
maximum time is 3 minutes 59 seconds

and in that time I had to get up - find the bedroom door
walk across the landing
open bathroon door
lift lid
lift seat
Pee
shake
shake again
shake again - I'm getting old - look it up!!!!! (other possibilities are available - so I'm told)

retrace steps
get back into bed
think to look at clock
turn over
look at clock



not bad in 3 minutes

but I don;t normally time it all - especially at night



Hope this helps!

To be really pedantic,
If the clock isn't capable of showing seconds then it works in 30 second segments. So 6:20 could be between 6:19:31 and 6:21:30. It depends on which side of the half minute you set the clock.

Where were you on this day, also a Monday, in 1974?

Boundaries changed, new counties now in place, old ones gone.

[Drago]

I have risen!

Straight from norovirus into Mrs D's cold. I feel lousy beyond comprehension.

Good morning all.
There's a blue sky out there and the sun is shining. Unfortunately it's not going to last. Rain is forecast this afternoon. At least the morning dog walk will be dry.
The first of the bin lorries have been down our road.

Morning. Cool but dry and bright here. Riverside trail walk done and I might hop on the Wattbike for the final stage of a Zwift event I’ve been doing. I think I’ll just do the 10.4 mile route though. I don’t feel up to the 29 mile route as I’ve not got much energy this morning.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, grey and damp and a cold NE wind today, a little walk will be the order of the day, followed by more armchair cycling.

Aged 10, the suburbs of Birmingham, possibly at school ?

Good morning all.
Very gray and wet here.
My daughter and grandson are visiting later along with my SiLs Mum. She and Sue got on well and I have not seen her since Sue died......hope I don't start blubbing (well not too much anyway).

My parents did live in Cheshire then one day they woke to be living in Merseyside. My mother was not impressed one bit and until her dying day refused to put Merseyside as her address......she always printed CHESHIRE.

Well, I had no idea ! I’ve just had to google it. To revise my previous response, it appears that I did indeed change my location on that date. It seems that on that date, Birmingham, along with Solihull, ceased being part of Warwickshire and became part of the new West Midlands. I was obviously completely oblivious to this
