The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

Wow what a brilliant day here, old trailer cut up with angle grinder and gone to recycle, rubbish gone to tip, replaced some roofing felt on the shed, lawn cut, had coffeer with youngest and his better half, now about to soak in the bath before going to the eldest for nibbles and other refreshments. Life is great.

Quick change of plans, 20 minutes with Joe Wickes before the bath.

Lovely day here, been out with the dog as usual and now drinking fresh brewed coffee.
Yesterday I got a jury summons letter for The Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, London. They must of heard that I would have a bit of time on my hands as the jury service starts 2 days after my last day at work, the 23rd of April.

I did jury service once. It was bloody boring. 2 weeks of sitting there doing sod all. I hope you fair better.

Nice day here. Walked the dog, tidied up one of the sheds ready to convert it into a brewery.

I hope it goes well, I am going to Turin on the 14th of may with our escape committee on tour lads for an Italian cultural week, so to speak. So I don't want any long drawn out cases.

In England there is the opportunity to postpone the call up I think.

 

[Paulus]

Yes there is, I can defer it, but only once. The next time I will have to attend. There is a space on the form to put down the dates I can attend.

I got call once. I wrote to them, and explained that as a Fed I was likely to have difficulty being objective. A few days later they stood me down.

I'd love to do the jury service. Once when we were working near the Old Bailey, we'd go to the spectators gallery in our lunch break. Found it interesting, unfortunately we couldn't eat our sandwiches on there.

Gorgeous but cold today.
Took dog for a walk over at Fremington Quay. Came back and set about a deep clean on one of the bikes.
Very pleasant out the front, in the sun and out of the wind.

I have tried to defer my service until after my holidays in May and June. The form goes back in the post tomorrow so I will have to wait and see what they say. I have also put down that I am away in Oct/Nov.

I've been out for a short bike ride this morning, cold hard and slow, I'm down the pub for a meal shortly.
