The Retirement Thread

Apparently there is an option to actually delete the account properly now. A mate of mine laboriously deleted every post and photo before deleting his.

Ah, but is everything deleted?

I joined years ago when my cycle club migrated to it. Most of the people on my friends list are friends in real life, I'm also a member of several groups covering things that I'm interested in, like gardening and cycling, as well as groups covering local districts and local history, I'm also on the Facebook pages of several local cycle clubs.

This sums up my FB account. I enjoy it because I can keep up with the minutiae of real friends lives all around the world. That's fun and interesting.

It's great for the cycle club because everyone knows about the rides, events etc. so no one gets left out.

I never accept friend requests from people I don't know. Now I'm established on FB I rarely send friend requests.

Exactly the same... keep it simple and it's fine. I think I spend more time on FB than on here!

Well, I don't know. A good reason not to give the diminutive geezer your details in the first place.

Gin and tonic with lots of ice. Perfect drink for this weather.

That does look good. I been trying to get away to Belgium for a 4 or 5 day break for weeks, but somehow it never works out. Might have more luck in August.

Let the day commence.
Bad start, I tripped over a pair of bloomers that Welshie left around.....but my lightning fast reactions saved me.
Anyway, just enjoyed a coffee. Need a shower but I will be sweaty again 5 minutes later.
Golf this morning, it will be a long 4 hours in this heat .
When I get back, late lunch will be mixed salad with all the bits eg seeds, chopped nuts and a dressing. Added to that will be chopped chicken pieces and maybe boiled egg. Ohh, and a bottle of plonk .
Have a nice day everyone.

Was the shower to cool you down because you were thinking about Welshie and her bloomers

I have the curtains closed and the air con on. 21 deg in my living room and considering my living room is south facing isn't bad at all. I hope to survive today quite well.

Thought you might have told @Dave7 you are wandering arou d the house with nothing on due to the heat

I heard a rumour recently that Welshies bloomers were made out of a spare skin intended for the Hindenburg.

nice one.

I did try using a Hindenburg skin as a condom, but it was a bit tight.

Been 3 years without one now, and these sort of memories don't encourage me to get another one at the moment.

Had an early jog. Still really humid. I think this will be the first year I am looking forward to autumn!
