HR told me I was being retired, never had to ask.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
I seem to recall I told them the lunatics had taken over the asylum and that I had more important things to do with my time.
Off in a mo for a roundabout 5 mile walk to my local, where we have won a free Sunday lunch for two.
Very nice for a freebie.
Walked 6.1 miles, the long way around, to my local and back.

Photos of ones lunch? That's the sort of thing one expects to see on Facebook.
Facebook? What's that, your Honour?

Where's the gravy?
On top of the meat and under the veg.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Sometimes i would love to be able to hibernate. Just pull the duvet up over my head and have a sign on the headboard saying "do not disturb until March". 
Me too. Never did 'do' winter.Sometimes i would love to be able to hibernate. Just pull the duvet up over my head and have a sign on the headboard saying "do not disturb until March".

Do you need to do winter? Can you not clear off to warmer weather when you retire.

This morning I'm taking Lemmy and Gaylord into town to see an old boy I know. He doesn't get out much, and he loves the dogs. Lemmy adores him too.
Gotta do ones bit to keep an old soldier smiling. I'll be an old soldier myself one day.

Could do, but I like the comforts and convenience of home.
Generally speaking, the climate here on the Devon coast is fairly benign compared to a lot of the UK. Haven't seen snow on the ground here for over 5 years, so the cycling doesn't really get affected. It's the short days that I find can be depressing.

@Dirk. That'll be me then for not seeing it - I'm a greedy bugger for gravy and like my plate swamped with the stuff. Has to be stand a spoon up in it thick too.

When's 'old'? My GP says the practice she works in considers their patients old when they hit 70.
Anyone think/know anything different?
60 is the new 40.
I reckon 'old' is over 80.
