The Retirement Thread

[Venod]

I tried to watch a film last night but gave up it was stuttering that badly.

Was it The Kings Speech ?

It was Hostiles, very violent but very good.

RESULT!

Hit Booths just as yellow sticker man was filling the shelf. 60 seconds afterwards Paul departs, the shelf now empty, with the basics of 16 meals for two - £21.40!! Just add veggies.

I've got to have words with First Utility, my internet is slower than a tortoise on tranqulizers, I tried to watch a film last night but gave up it was stuttering that badly.

I had a word with the nice man at First Utility this afternoon and the tests show a line fault somewhere between me and the exchange and I'm getting half the speed I should. They've raised a ticket for it and it should get fixed sometime next week, they'll phone me when it's done.

I'd kill for an internet connection at the moment. Chewing up my monthly data allowance at an alarming rate! Still, the view is nice.

Well sort of........ I was here earlier but had nothing to say! Woke at 2.00, got moaned at, went to spare room and read till 4.00. Woke at 5.00 pee time. Woke again at 6.00 and then 7.00. Treated myself to thick cut toast and marmalade in bed.

Not feeling very much at one with the world today.

You are first WD but I've been up since 6 o'clock as Mrs. jg is at work today. Already had a beautiful three mile walk on Waldridge Fell with the dog and it looks like spring is finally here. We've lost that nithering E wind and the sun is shining. The ground is absolutely bogging though.
Time for a big breakfast then get the bike ready for a long(ish) ride.

I hope things get better today.

Wel done for being out bright and early. Extra brownie points for you.

Our alarm goes off at 5am 7 days a week, so no lay in's. I did have a few other things I wanted to do before facing you lot, bit and bobbing day and may get around to a bit more spraying of the cabinets later, they are looking good.

Have fun and keep smiling.

Good morning! We have a sunny day here! We've got no plans today, son and family are on holiday so won't be up tomorrow so I'm cycling tomorrow, I'm thinking on perhaps an outing somewhere today.

This too shall pass.
