The Retirement Thread

[aferris2]

Middle of the afternoon here but it started off quite cold. Sun is out but the sea breeze is still keeping it quite cool.
Drove 3 hours from the Blue Mountains outside Sydney to the coast at Bulli. Phone didn't stop ringing but there is no way I would even think about touching it while driving. Turns out there is a bike waiting for me to look at tomorrow so will pop along in the morning. Thinking about going to see West Side Stoy at the Sydney Opera House while we are there.

Hospital today

Need the holes plugging?

Might nip into Sidmouth this morning for a mooch around and pick up a bit of shopping.
Looks like we're in for a decent bit of weather.

Good morning folks, my memories on facebook has come up with a picture from 2012 when we'd just put the new shed up.

A Bit different from now

Morning all .
Bright and sunny here.
I believe I am being dragged to M&S. Mrs D got a load of vouchers as presents but cannot see anything she fancies so.........
A pair of tracky bottoms for me and stock up the wine racks (we are not posh enough for a cellar)

Good morning - A nice sunny day and I'll be cycling to the allotment to pick apples up off the ground and sort them into good and bad piles. There are hundreds of them laying around.

I'll be riding over to see my brother this afternoon.

The back pain (muscular I think) might be starting to ease and I got a fairly good night's sleep last night.

Well, Mrs D reports her new car is giving 29 miles on full electric before the engine wakes up. That's almost her full commute. When she starts her new job on Tuesday that'll be 3 days of commuting for her.

Nothing a bit of fencelife wouldn't put right. On the fence as well.

Is it nice now?

It is. Really sunny and quite warm as well, but the ground is still very damp.

Fourth day this week waiting round in crown court.

Hope to God it's over (and justice has been done) today.

I was more looking at the vegitation and how well grown it is. I'm having a coffee in the hairdressers while my Good Lady has her feet pampered.

A successful trip to M&S.
As mentioned we had quite a collection of vouchers to spend.
I got my tracky bottoms. Being a short a**e I need short leg length which I can get there.
There were some good offers on wines. A decent Malbec which is our current favourite down to £6.00.
Also....we enjoy port & cognac. There was an end of line vintage port of offer. I thought 'this has to be wrong' so got the price checked..... YES....£27.00 a bottle DOWN to £6.00!!!! So we got 6 bottles.......that's a few christmas presents sorted. Wrap one of those up in some pink bloomers and welshie will be mine
