The Retirement Thread

Was it a Vax or a Hoover?

Finished our Xmas shopping today.

Now holed up indoors snug in front of the fire awaiting Chelsea vs Wolves.

Only plans to get out until the day after Boxing Day are a couple of walks, a couple of pub visits and maybe a bike ride if I can be bothered*.

*Low miles achieved this year so I've really thrown the towel in and I'll get stuck in again at the start of January.

Mrs D is disgusted with you.
Personally I think she is extremely jealous

We are the only ones on the site - hopefully it will stay that way.

Got to say.. . .its losing its head very quickly.
We had a fortnight in our tourer** in Snowdonia one Christmas. Heavy heavy snow. We had to get towed out at the end. Great holiday though.
** we no longer have it

This is the 3rd year we've come to this site at Christmas. It's just nice to get away from it all.
We've done 90 nights away this year and we're hoping to ramp it up a bit next year when we change the car and caravan.

Change the selling method first, making certain those selling them know the legal side of operating them.

Horse has bolted though

Good Day retired people of leisure. Windy and drizzly here, not pleasant.

Feeling very chipper this morning. Slept for 7.5 hours without waking. First morning I've felt rested for several days.

Heading off for spin in 30 minutes, then pick up my lad for lunch before we head off to watch the currently not so mighty Rovers. Norwich City today - I have a bad feeling.

Oh dear, you were correct

Good Day. The Beeb forecast an 84% chance of rain - spot on guys, probably 840,000 rain drops coming down right now!!! Dark and wet.

Been awake for a while, read the online paper and will have a snooze now.

I'm turning over a problem in my mind which isn't helping the sleep issue. It doesn't concern my life but a dear friend's. It can be hard to know what to do for the best.

If it wasn't that I can't bet against my own team I would have put money on 0-1, not that I gamble.

It is still very dark out there, do they not know it is 7.40am and should be bright and light.

It's dull, misty and moody on Dartmoor this morning.
Just having my first cuppa.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the Hound of the Basketballs trot past.....

It's dull here like me, but no and not cold.
