A bit of a lay in today, just having my first cup of tea, What to do for the rest of the day?

There is not much of it left.

Loads to go, we are never back in bed much before 1am.

As I said. You are old now you need less sleep.

 

[Dirk]

I tend to go to bed and get up much later now than I did when I was working. It fits in more with my natural rhythm.
Other folk may have a different window of activity.

I'm up early, so I can sit by the window and chuckle at the workies as they leave for their slave ships and galleys.

Got out for a little 25 miles with the other half. that's me done for the day, Now do i go to the pub or just sit in front of the box.

Long lay-in today then out on the bike after walking the dog. Thermometer shows 7°C but I was caught in three short but violent snow showers whilst out on the bike. Had to light the fire to thaw out my feet when I got back.
There were some signs that what passes for spring in north east England maybe on the way. In one or two sheltered spots the first bits of green are showing on the hawthorn hedges. Can't wait until it gets warm.

I'm now on the outside of 4 pints of Squeaky Arse bitter, and feeling it.

Much as I love my kids and their partners I’ve now reached the point when I wish they would go home.

When I was full time working I hated bank holidays.

 

[Drago]

Down to my last 8 pints of Squeak Arse, so ordered the bits to brew a nice oirish stoit.

No, we hate them because it means the workies are off and cluttering the place up
