The Retirement Thread

[robjh]

Well my first retirement weekend has been spent in Sandringham in the Motorhome supporting @hopless500 at a 3 day craft fair. She did brilliantly and we had fun. @Fab Foodie was chef for the weekend so kept us fed and watered whilst Basil the Whippet provided the entertainment.
Now it's Monday tomorrow and guess what, NO WORK and for once my mind is not going round with all the things I have to do.

I could get used to this.

Oi, you're a bit young for this club!

Congratulations on joining the world of the work-free

...but it did have a 3lt Holden engine in it.

That's how you managed it.

I'm not yet 50.

I'm not yet 50.

Whippersnapper!
I'm 56, and think I can safely say I've moved from not-looking-very-hard-for-work to at least semi-retired now.

Technically it's morning you know.

I haven't seen them for a few years but the Ukulele Orchestra are quite brilliant.

Hello world. Feeling quite bouncy this morning and trying to decide if I should join the Gentle(mens) Monday Meander ride. Looks like the usual crowd of pensioners will be out. I'll wait till the dark has gone away and can see the weather.

Last night's film was Oh What a Lovely War. I understand why it was chosen and one has to watch it with the thought it was made in 1969. Saying that I didn't really enjoy it and there was little discussion afterwards which suggests others felt the same. For a film to be 2.5 hours long it really needs to grab the audience.

You can see where Python picked up a few ideas.

Dog walked, dull and cool but not quite as cold as yesterday. I'm a bit popped today - after three days of 40+ mike rides I'm feeling it today, so a day of rest and contemplation for me.

Morning folks. Dull, and cold and windy here today. A day of not doing much i think accept maybe sweeping up some more leaves.

 

[PaulSB]

Looks decent out there. Time to get kitted up and get the bike out.....................again!

Off for a walk around Blackberry Castle, just north of Sidmouth, this morning - then on for a spot of lunch. Been Googling the pubs in the area that do pensioner specials. Think we've found a a good 'un.

Good morning all. A late start for me, just having brunch and then if it stays dry I'll mow the lawns for the last time this year hopefully.
