The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning all. Short bike ride for me this morning, first one for over a week . And our son's going home today.

I'm at w*rk, both today and tomorrow. There are some very good reasons.

• the offspring are at home so they can look after the dog and their grandparents
• Mrs. jg is also at w*rk which means I get a lift into the Toon with my bike
• There's hardly any traffic on the roads so I will get a pleasant ride home
• It's a dead easy shift - hardly anyone else here
• I can retire two days earlier

Grandog of walked at 5am 84 lengths of the pool done, breakfast eaten, maybe Lincoln retail later.

The family will be departing at some point today meaning I will be returning to normal.

I can accept this as a valid reason but not the rest. I should qualify this re the cycling home - one never needs a reason to cycle, we just cycle. It's a rule or should be.

Dog walked, weights lifted, just brewing a Clooneys.

good morning all, the dog has been walked and now I am eating boiled eggs with toasted soldiers. Then, I am off to MissP's to collect a set of full length ladders using my neighbours van, as it has roof bars fitted.

If I had a dog it would have pi$$ it's self as I've only just got up

The rest aren't reasons to cycle; they're reasons to come to w*rk. I get two bonus bike rides this week by coming in to the office. I'm with you on the cycling because we can

Morning all. I'm getting worse, I've only just got up. Roll on next week when my new years resolution of getting up earlier starts.

Sat in Hatton locks with coffee and toast. Direct route out and back for me today.

I am really starting to doubt my sanity.
It is pitch black on Dec 27th and am having a coffee prior to playing golf.
Why?
Why didnt I just say "i having the week off" .
Myself and Mrs D will then go to the Plough for fish&chips.
I will then watch football highlights from last night.

Fish and chips, for breakfast, in a public house?

Morning walk on Dartmoor done.

Now in the White Hart awaiting lunch.

 

[Drago]

Just been in the shack fitting my new balun, but I've had a text telling me my new cordless hair clippers are only 2 x strips away so I've returned to the house.

Let us know if that part was accurate.
I have just driven home and the traffic was really heavy.
Happy retirement to you.
