The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

We do not have a fire to light, that may change next year, we do have underfloor heating and lots of insulation, which makes a nice warm house allover.

Forgot the important part, it is cold, wet and dark outside and I am going to spend a large part of the day tinkering in a nice warm workshop..

Tonight I'm going to watch Burnley v Liverpool with my cousin. We will have a meal in the director's lounge before watching the game from the director's box. My cousin has a lot of money, an awful lot of money****

**** a small compensation for supporting Burnley.

Say what you like about Burnley but there's one thing I've noticed when I've been there and that's that you only ever see Burnley shirts in the streets. No Man U, no Barcelona, nobody but Burnley. And they have always given us a lively welcome when I've been there supporting the one and only Leeds United. Proper fans.

I have started my fire. I can always let it go out if it gets to be too much later on.

Just heard the central heating boiler fire up. My fire now lit......I'm not burning gas when I've got a small forest dried out in my woodshed!

If we petition Shaun would he give us a couple of new emojis??? I'd like a "snug and warm" and a "generally feeling quite smug about retirement" one!

Sounds like an excellent idea.

Say what you like about Burnley........

Muttley walked. A bit milder today, and rather moist.

Going up country to see friends next week, so this morning we are traipsing around Barnstaple to get some 'last minute presents'.
Some good may come of it if we happen to be passing a pub at lunchtime.

1.5 litre's decanted into 15ml and 7 ml bottles done.

I may have have to purchase a snorkel and flippers.

Mrs P and Mr P have just agreed as we have a rather costly trip to Vietnam in 2019 not to give each other presents this year. The stress this has relieved for me is immeasurable.....................

Nope, gone right over my head. Have I missed something????

You'll have to beat me to the shops.................
