The Retirement Thread

Our big unit has been emptied, as has the plant stand, and the Granddaughters stuff has been moved upstairs, all I have left to do is move the furniture and lift the carpet. The plant stand is one of two made in the late 1960's by my Dad from scrap material in the factory where he worked for my Mum, after she died I brought them home, the family wanted to scrap them.

We are having laminate fitted at the weekend and I've got to empty our through lounge, I haven't a clue where all the stuffs going to go, I'm starting this afternoon by emptying the big unit.

Our big unit housed all the Hi Fi server and all the CDs, weighs a ton.

Morning. Supposed to be a decent day but not feeling like doing much. Maybe the enthusiasm will pick up later.

Good morning people, sore back this morning after yesterday, looks like I'll be raiding my Good Ladies anadin supplies when I get up, more to do today.

I am also looking at new carpets, 11 x 5 yards is going to hurt, not as much as it will hurt the poor guy laying it, took 4 of us to carry the last one in if I remember correctly.

Blimey! You carpeting a hall? And I thought our through lounge was big.

It goes from lounge into dining room through double opening doors so has to be matching, I never intended to replace the carpet when I built the house as I thought we would only be here a couple of years.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Cycled down to the park with Mrs Tenkay yesterday evening to meet up with a few friends and take part in a commemorative run.
The run is 1 mile and it's in honour of Charles Bennett who won Gold in the Mile at the 1900 Olympics. He came from a little local village called Shapwick and they have a commemorative mile run every Olympic year.
I won't embarrass myself by posting my time 😔

BUT: on the way down to the Park I got a shout out from a proper roadie!
I was on "Graham" my blinged up CHPT3 Brommie, and this racing snake roadie slowed as he came past to comment and compliment me on the bike. 🚴‍♀️
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶🏊‍♂️🌞

Morning all.....According to Mo's theory I've got to do 71 miles today. Somehow I think it ain't going to happen, as I've got several more Duval's and Leff's to finish off before I start on the wine! Enjoy your day folks 🌈

I am off out to the garage to second gloss coat the two doors I first coated yesterday, life is so exciting.

St Swithin's Day.........it's blowing a gale, pouring with rain and frigging cold. Mrs P has a hot water bottle and blanket.

Doesn't look good for the next 40 days......😢😢

If its any consolation there has never been 40 continuous days of wet or dry on record following St Swithans
