The Retirement Thread

[Mart44]

Good morning - The day is bright at the moment. The family have arrived and taken over my time ..and the computers. They are out visiting others at the moment. I'll probably tidy up the house a bit and mend a door handle that I've been meaning to mend for ages. Other family will be here later but only for a few hours. It should be a quiet evening.

Have the best day possible.

Been busy this morning washed the bedding, did the ironing, cleaned and polished the whole of the flat, cleaned the windows (inside only) and washing the nets as I type I need a coffee

Not many places shutting any longer than Christmas day, yet people will go mental and buy a dozen loaves and gallons of milk!

I was in Aldi last week.......people trolleys were stacked

You deserve more than a coffee

The Eagle has landed on the downs above Boscastle.

The car is packed, tank full of diesel, for the 330 miles drive to Devon tomorrow . Hoping for a 7.30 am start which should get us there by 2pm, including wee stops for Molly. Now to deliver some Christmas presents, in my wife's car.

So we are happily chatting away on a very quiet back lane - it serves farmland and about 20 houses. At one point there is a 90 degree right bend with a smaller lane which goes straight on. We ALWAYS follow the road to the right.

I'm on the inside and a fellow club member on the outside. I lean my bike round to the right, he goes straight on. Messy is the word.

I am bruised and very sore. 😭 Anyway another 60 miles in the bag.

Wild and woolly here on the North Cornwall coast tonight!
Still.....we ain't bothered, it's roasty toasty in the van and we've got a good supply of films, beer, chocolate, wine and pork pies.
