The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

There I was, nice and cozy in bed, then Mo woke me up by banging around her house in her walking boots......does that woman never stop?
Builders are due back at 7:45. They hope to finish the job today but I have doubts. They are very good, hard workers but am sure there will be some snagging to do. Hope I am wrong though.

Working on Sundays? I didn't think anyone does that.

Yes, they are both builders but do paths/patios at weekends.
As I say, I am seriously impressed with thier work rate and quality eg.....I was watching one lay the cobbles for the edging.....he had the spirit level and every single one had to be perfect.

Good morning world it's a brand new day🎶
A day to venture forth on the Brommie, not too far as I need to test my legs first to see if they will be cooperating or playing silly beggars. Will try for lunch at a local pub, we haven't booked but will wing it and see if they can fit us in.

Good morning all.
What with Mo stomping around and Dave7 getting ready for the builders it's no surprise I can't sleep in.
Dog walk followed by breakfast and the MrsP is off to an art exhibition at the Thames embankment gallery near to Temple. That leaves me free to watch this afternoon's Amstel Gold cycle race from the Netherlands.

I'm up too

I have risen!

Bruce let me have a lay in today, bless him. Lazy day planned.

Good doggy.

Morning all

Not too bad out there by the looks of it.
Will be off for a walk this morning and then having Sunday lunch in Goldsithney.
Supposed to be moving on to Launceston tomorrow but high winds forecast; might stop an extra night here and ride it out.

Looks like today will be nice. Blue skies and sunshine here now

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, looks like breezy showers today. Will go out for a bit this morning then settle down to watch Amstel this afternoon.

8 mile walk done and porridge consumed. Time for a cuppa now. I'm enjoying the sun coming in the windows as it was a bit nippy outside.

Bruce walked. There's a lovely recreation ground about a mile away much used (and well looked after) by dog walkers. I call it Frisbee Field.

Took my boy up there with his tennis ball and ball chucking thing and spent a good 20 mind wearing him out before strolling home.

Weather bright and mild, most pleasant.

My daughters lab is now over 12 years old and sadly on her last legs. Doubt she will last the year out. Lovely dog. Sad really.

My daughter had 3 labs. One had to be put to sleep 18 months ago. The second oldest one is completely blind with cataracts and is a bit on the portly side but her tail is always wagging and she doesn't have any trouble finding her way round the house and the youngest is about 7 now and she is a total lunatic.
