The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

@welsh dragon, was thinking of you earlier. As I said, 15 yr old grandaughter and her mate are staying with us.
Mrs D bought a lemon drizzle cake (now you see the connection) and put it out after tea last night.
Neither me nor Mrs D have touched it but there is now just a tiny slice left. And the kids are both very slim....not an ounce on them.
I (vaguely) recall them there days when I could eat what I wanted and stay skinny

He never mentioned cycling

Please tell me you are winding me up

 

[roadrash]

No, im not winding you up, he didn't mention cycling.

How about some pavement crampons?

Some places are not too keen on me using this sort.

Easier take the boots off, which they're not too keen on either.

I never did trust him. How can you trust anyone with a name like @screenman

It has taken me 62 years and just over 10 months to learn how to tie my shoe laces so that they do not come loose.

Your credibility has been blown to pieces, don't come out with this nonsense.

We've been down the Charlecote Garden Store for lunch and there was a Robin running round the cafe.

It is true, just reverse the way I did the knot with the loops in it, amazing.

Pull tight, form the first half of the knot, then double twist and shove the ends out of sight in the shoes.

Easy.

Lots of gritters out here.

Lots of gritters out here.

We don't get them in our area, when we get snow even the buses don't come to our village they by pass it and you have to walk 1/4 - 1/2 mile to the main road

Must put reading glasses on........thought you wrote 'Critters'.

I was a very worried man earlier on. I took Molly ( my dog ) for a walk and let her loose in the local woody hill which is well frequented by dog walkers. She just ran ahead of me and vanished in the distance, well out of sight. I got very worried as despite me calling her back and whistling, she was gone. For about 20 minutes I was looking for her but nothing. Then she suddenly reappeared from the bushes and I was relieved. I was told by other walkers that cocker spaniels will always find you by using their scent . I hope this is true but next time, she will stay on a lead. I couldn't imagine her not being at home.
