The Retirement Thread

Unlike Welshie's cakes, I have risen! First again!

Morning all, nice and frosty outside. Another busy day beckons. After walking the dog, with a stop at the cafe, I shall get one of the old bikes out and go for a spin for an hour or so. Then some tidying up in the garden including cutting the grass once the frost and dew has dried off. Grass cutting in February? Who would of thought it. It really hasn't stopped growing and it is now looking quite tatty.

Morning all, off to take the car to the body shop for a new bumper

Good morning - A U3A walk this morning. The starting point is over in my mate's house direction, so I'll be cycling there before the walk and cycling back afterwards. A sandwich and a doze after that.

Morning Drago and anyone else that is up.

Brrr it's chilly. There is a frost on my car and no that isn't a euphamism for anything else.

Got friends coming down from up country on Friday, so we've got a few things to do today.
Storm Ciara on its way as well, so it'll be 'batten down the hatches' time. Don't think our Midlands friends have ever experience a coastal storm. That should be fun.

Storm Clara, eh? I'd better get prepared. Yep, my XC90 has fuel, I'm ready.

You weren't really. I was here ages ago but couldn't be bothered to post!

Walk done. Not looking too bad a day.

For my first 21 years I lived on the Wirral. After we got married we lived in New Brighton, about 200 yatds from the front..
We got some good storms coming off the Irish sea.
If the forecast and the tides are right we still go back to watch the kids play dodge the waves**
**its on the road, behind the sea wall so not dangerous......just funny when they misjudge one.

Morning all. Had one of those 'crikey I feel old days' yesterday, was reading about the sad death of Karen Carpenter 37 years ago!

On a more cheerful note, went to see Jo Jo Rabbit last night, cracking film well worth seeing!

 

[numbnuts]

Back home now and carless until tomorrow or friday morning coffee now and breakfast to follow

As a retiree of good character we will have to take your word on that.

Morning all.
A pleasant day here. Slightly foggy/misty and a bit of frost.
I had a restless night as I kept dreaming of Mo waxing her bottom. MrsD was asking "what was all that you were mumbling about in your sleep".........I feigned ignorance
I sat up listening to the Liverpool match last night whilst enjoying a large whisky. Golf was arranged for 08.45. Bearing in mind I haven't played for ages with this gammy leg I woke at 0600, thought about it and went back to sleep........a good decision me thinks.
MrsD is out and I have the day to myself!!!! Now, what mischief can I get up to

I've just had the postie deliver two spare inner tubes. How exciting! Hermes might be later with a micro fleece jumper too.
