The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning all . Nice to see you all for another day gadding about.
I seem to sleep better and better each night(If that makes sense).
Late lunch yesterday was a resounding success. Hope I didnt post this already, s bottle of plonk+ was consumed. I did cod loin coated in flour and various herbs. A few chips and bread n butter.....very nice.
Today will be quiet. Lpool V Watford on TV, lunch time KO so will watch that.
As its still crap weather I will hunker down for the afternoon.

Doncaster.

You are in Lincoln. Is Doncaster not a pain to get to?
I always associate Doncaster with sunny Scunny.
I will have to look at the map.

We have sleety rain now. I shall spend the day pottering which in fact means that I shall be dossing around doing sod all.

Dave7. Tyndrum is best known for the Green Wellie shop and cafe. There is I think more than one hotel. The big one is owned by a tour bus company and obviously caters for that market. Back in the day there was a Little Chef where I used to stop for breakfast as it was open early in the morning. Nowadays it is just a place to drive through as fast as possible.

I had forgotten the green wellie shop.
We were on a coach holiday which was very well organised even if way too regimental for us.
1st night I thought "I will start the week with a nice malt" so asked what selection they had. Hard to believe but they had just one choice which was a bog standard malt. So myself and another guy walked to the pub near the wellie shop where they had a really good selection.

Rubbish weather here today - still recovering from our all night election watching marathon and we have our own social all-nighter tonight so trying to rest up before then.

Life - much more fun as you get older.

Brightening up a bit here now.

Have a good afternoon folks.

Bonjour every body. Had a long walk with Molly earlier and it is blowing a gale here, 45 mph winds ! I saw an old guy riding his bike, regardless of the weather conditions. I regularly see him, riding in all weathers. His bike is quite old, with downtube shifters and I think he must be late 60's or early 70's. ( his age, not the bike). He is definitively braver than me. Next door is having new windows put in at the back and Molly was entertaining the workers earlier by running mad in the back garden with a big plastic carrier bag in her mouth.

We're in a local cafe having lunch and the smoke alarm in the kitchen had just gone off.

Doncaster is far better than Lincoln which is better than Scunny. We live 10 miles the wrong side of Lincoln for Donny but consider it well worth the effort.

The BBC weather so says it is 5 Feb but feeling like -1. I can well believe that.
