The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Got up! It's cold, dark and wet but I have the woodburner fired up and a bowl of porridge with honey. Cosy is the word.

Ironing then painting.

Forecast Sunday - Tuesday is excellent. I see many miles ahead of me........

Good morning all. So wet here that even the dog is refusing to set foot outside!!

Good morning, heatings on and I'm messing about on the computer waiting for the rgby to start.

Since it is hissing down (and I am a wimp!), I shall pull the gas guzzling pollution producer from the garage and scoot off to pick up the reserved items I was obliged to buy as a result of the Halfords hare @Spiderweb set running.

Boardman long sleeve thermal jersey, only size M left, reduced from £27 to £5!

I need to start painting soon too. Stripped the wallpaper off the spare bedroom as the cat had shredded it! Just going to emulsion it and do the skirtings and facings. Don't want to do it when the weather is decent though, so once the rain returns I will make a start.

Hi gang.

First again? Another chilly one but dry so not complaining.

First coffee of the day always tastes so good.

It aint dry here, its bucketing down.....again

The England V New Zealand game is on.

Today we are going to the Syrian Bistro at Rococo in Leyland. I've never eaten Syrian food so really looking forward to this. Rococo is primarily a supported employment enterprise - my son works there three days a week - and it's great to see them branching out like this.

Either side of food I'm painting. I've also foregone the excitement of PNE v Rovers at Deepdale.

Sounds good.
Never eaten Syrian but I worked in Israel for 8 days. If its in any way similar you should enjoy it.

Morning all. Very wet here, so wet the other half has driven to work instead of walking. This is unheard of.

I'm off to get my right arm tattoo sleeve finished - finally. Then we can get on with finishing the left arm off, then I think I'll retire from tattoos (although I've said that before!)

Someone we met had had a full sleeve tattoo.......then decided he didnt like it so had the forarm tattood completely black to cover it up. How weird
