The Retirement Thread

My grandsons are all looking like girls at the moment because their hair has grown so long. . They have booked appointments for the end of July to have it all chopped off.

I’ve noticed one of the male weather forecasters on BBC‘s hair getting quite long! Lol

I was exploring this morning and rode 54 miles. I started out on a regular route out to Cosby but got the other side of Frolesworth and turned right towards Leire, in the village I turned left through Dunton Bassett then picked up the main road the other side through to Broughton Astley, then turned back towards Frolesworth and turned back through Leire and into Dunton Bassett where I turned right in the village and onto the main road again to turn right towards Ashby Magna, then right towards Gilmorton where I picked up a regular route home. Not a nice cycling morning, dull and grey with the occasional shower and that breeze was still strong, I was doing alright with a 14.4 average but turned into the breeze on the run into Coventry and saw my average drop below 14mph. So an interesting mornings cycling, I don't know the lanes round by Leire so it was interesting to ride round the area and familiarize myself with them.

MrsD had the same call from her hairdresser last week. July 30th was the earliest they could fit her in.
I trimmed it for her last week and, although I say so myself, I did a pretty good job.
MrsD was more than happy with the result.
I just need to persuade her to have a No3 all over and I could do a perfect job for her.

I hope you charged the typical ladies hairdresser rates £££ 😯😯😯 😁

We replaced our "Naff" earlier in the year. The original purchase was a toss up between Naff and Bosch. Made the wrong choice originally but replaced it with a Bosch and its a great machine.

Maybe it was your good self then. Did you replace an integrated one with a free standing type ?

Just had a phone call from the hairdresser offering me an appointment on 21st July. It’s good they are looking after their regulars first before getting swamped with others wanting fitted in.

MrsDs is July 3rd.......yes I know.
Mine is in 5 minutes. Should be interesting. Boorrowed clippers and first time she has attempted this.
I am p*ssing myself.

Yes, nothing. worse than sitting there, Mrs @BoldonLad in charge of the shears, and, I hear her utter "oh! shoot!, never mind, it will grow again"

Mrs @BoldonLad gas appointment for 8th July. She would not rust me to cut her hair

Yes I did Dave,
Have a good mate I've known for 40+ years, I won't let on what his job was, but there are a couple of " Pete's" in our group of mates, he is known as " Washing Machine Pete "

MrsD has done her worst. I must say that fot a first attempt its a damned good one.
Its a borrowed Braun with settings of 3,5,8. So we went with what we had.
Hoovered all (most of) the hairs up. Just gping to shower it off now

I cut Mr WD,s hair for 45 years, then it all disappeared and now he cuts it himself by going over it with the clippers. It's so easy now that he can do it himself.

I wish mine would disappear, at the moment I look like a mad scientist or an ancient hippy, it still grows as fast as it always did, I thought it would slow down as I got older but no sign of that yet

My dad was nearly bald (very thin on top) from quite young.
Me and my Bro have kept our hair, him moreso. MrsD tells me I have a definite duck pond now.......doesn't bother me as I can't see it

I've been cutting my own hair for the past 25 years.
Must've save a fortune!
