The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Thank you for taking the time to explain all that to me. I know some of my pals were management level.

You're very welcome. I did write a lot more but it was turning in to a full scale rant about government funding, social benefits, care, NHS etc.

Basically the whole system is a total frigging mess - financially and practically.

I should have gone riding. It was raining, now it's sunny. Poor longterm management.

I'm sat in The Badgers Tea Room at Brandon marsh nature reserve. They put the bird feeders next to the cafe so people can watch the birds from the cafe, I'm sat having a coffee and toast watching the wild life.

Finished cleaning the gun safe. If was a bit grimy (criminally negligent on my part) so vacuumed inside and wiped throughout with a rag and GT85. Kit replaced and rearranged. Shotgun, air rifle and 3 air pistols. Room for another rifle in there...

Morning all, I have been on the go since 7.30 so now taking a bit of a rest with a cup of tea. Was really nice and sunny first thing, but it has now clouded over. I am going out on the bike soon to do some shopping and may take in the Mitre for a pint or two at lunchtime. Next door is havinf a loft conversion done, and the roof of my kitchen has got really dirty, so that there is little light coming through the skylight. I will get up on the roof later and clean it, and the rest of the rubbish up there.

Mrs D is looking for things to do, should have asked her to clean your safe out

 

[Drago]

Alas, Mrs D isnt permitted near the firearms. Much as I love her theres a communist in her family, so I darent take the risk.

I meant Mrs D as in Welshie, she said she was having an easy day earlier

 

[Drago]

I'm sure Welshie would love to get her hands on my "gun safe", eh?

Always make sure you have protection on

 

[Drago]

Yep, dont want any accidents. 9 months later could be elbow deep in dirty dishes.

Done my exercises now.
I had lost my mojo and not done anything for ages but our new years resolution seems to be holding up. We both increased time on the bike today so I got up a good sweat first time for ages.
Will get the road bike out tomorrow.

Just seen the first advert for RSPB Birdwatch, or Targetwatch as its know at Chez Drago.
