The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Oooh, Dr Alice Roberts is on BBC4. I can spend the next hour admiring her rather nice, er, intellect. Yes, her intellect.

So just under 11 months since I "retired" and last night I got two queries asking if I was available, includong one job with an ex client, which would be a shoe-in.

Don't want to work but really hard saying no to daft money, managed it though! ;-)

Being retired is just like The Good Life, except I don't get to sleep with Felicity Kendall and my garden isn't full of pigs.

First day out in the new for me car today, as I have been waiting for the logbook to turn up.

Morning folks. Another frosty start to the day, but not as frosty as yesterday.

Nice! Do tell, what you got?

 

[Drago]

Very frosty here. Mutt walked, but I'll probably wait until about 10 for my bike ride because the cagers are wobbling about like Dodgers in the low sun.

Morning peops.
For some strange reason I woke at 06.45 this morning. Wide awake so I got up. Done some jobs. Done all my pre-golf stretches.
Am now enjoying a coffee before jumping into the shower.
Now......what to have for breckie

EDIT......its now 09.15. breckie was beans on toast. Now off to the jolley old golf club.

Riding in to see my ex colleagues this morning, with a bag full of cakes.
Thought they might need cheering up, as I will be celebrating my birthday next week and it will be 4 years since I retired.

Good Morning retirees, thank you for the GWS wishes. This morning I am better having slept most of yesterday and right through last night - the inevitable old man trip to the bathroom apart. I shall probably need two boxes of man size*** Kleenex today.

It's a beautiful, breezy morning but no riding, woodburner already on the go as I have a recovery day.

Why should the War Department be interested?

Hmmmm........I've just read my post again. Unfortunate phrasing. I have a very runny nose.............I think it's best to point this out now!
