The Retirement Thread

Morning all, late start today as we are out partying tonight.

I have had Kopperberg Gin.

I finished the lovely red wine I was given. Fell asleep on the sofa, then bed and slept till 7.40. unheard of.

Sky is clear, no wind and there is a frost down.

Mrs P can be heard coughing away but the light is off. Soon be time to sneak downstairs, start the quiet housework etc.

We have seven for dinner tonight, though two are currently ill. I'm doing lamb and apricot tagine with lemon and lime couscous. Friends are bringing starters and desert.

Plan is to walk up Brindle Hill about 11.15. Take some fizz with us and watch the fireworks all round us. Lots of people do this but we think we will alone. Most folk go up Winter Hill or Rivington Pike - these have roads our Hill doesn't and it's walkable from our backdoor.

Morning all.

I expect the guys will be along shortly to query you being hot in bed!

I wouldn't be at all surprised Mo

Morning all, misty and grey outside today, it's going to be like this all day.
A long walk with the dog soon and then a quiet day in .

Good morning - Far from it being quieter after Christmas/Boxing Day, there were 10 of us here yesterday. Nice as it is to have that many of the family together, I'm hoping we'll have a quiet day today.

The ones who were staying here have gone home. The sheets are in the washing machine and a general tidying up of the house is underway.

It is indeed very quiet at the moment but I expect we'll soon get used to it.

Have the best day possible.

Off out doggie walking in a bit.
Beach or Burrows? Burrows or Beach?
Decisions, decisions!
It was never this difficult making decisions whilst at work!

Well.....I've ended the year 1/2 lb lighter than I started.
I count that as a success.

It's official, Mrs P has flu. If Mrs P says she has flu she means it. None of this man flu stuff.

I am retreating to the spare room. 😷😷😷

She can pall on with Mrs D then.

Leaving out loose change from your pockets doesn't count though.

I have come over all weak

Good morning to one and all. I was too hot in bed last night. Looks like a calm day today.

See her post about the drinking, the drink's to blame.

HELLOOOO. Am I allowed in at this time?? We were booked in a hotel with the family tonight but have dropped out. Mrs D is absolutely full of whatever she has got and has been upchucking this morning . Both still in our PJs feeling decidedly sorry for ourselves.
Ahh well, things can only get better.........can't they

You in charge now, or just following orders when they're given?
