The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Grey, blue and brown have been emptied. I need to get them in........can I spin this out to fill the afternoon?

Bring the grey one in.
Think about it.
Decide that was the wrong one so take it out again.
Have a cup of tea.
Bring the blue one in etc etc. You could easily spin it out for the afternoon.

 

[Dave7]

Or another idea.
I have just tried this and can tell you it works.
Its our blue and green tomorrow so I take them out today.
So.........
I took the green one out then made passionate love for 45 minutes precisely.
Took the blue one out and again made passionate love (could only last 30 minutes).
I tell you what...... that woman next door was ecstatic.
MrsD wasn't so happy though.
Another positive.......I never have to take the bins out again

Speyside was fabulous as always

It's good to be home .....some lousy sod has pinched a large roll of bin bags from the bin cupboard and my bedroom light will not work and the bulb is OK I think a wire has come out of the ceiling fixure, well I ain't doing it.

Just had an email from my housing association about the said light -

In order for us to log a repair for you, please can you confirm the following;
-Do you have a window in the bathroom?
-If the door is open can you use light from the hallway?
-Do you have a light or lamp you can use temporarily ?

I think I'll have to do it myself , but I'm not suppose to.

What you do is get it wrong, blow the main fuse(plunging everybody into darkness) then wait whilst they start blaming you.

Current regulations make it illegal for you to attempt a repair for the reasons above. Especially since you've just had a leak in the ceiling fixed. Water & electric don't mix very well.

Is it the bathroom or the bedroom?
You say bedroom, they say bathroom.
If it is the bathroom, they've given you some pretty stupid advice about taking a lamp, presumably plugged in, in there.

Have a gander...

Pam just served me a nice mixed salad with red bonnets in it, I have so far used both fire putter outers, 4 gallons of ice cream and have put the toilet roll in the fridge ready for tomorrow.

Also known as scotch bonnets.

Now trying to digest the new 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 covid restrictions. As far as I can see they’re not going to make any difference to MrsF and me, we’re mightily relieved that she hasn’t introduced travel restrictions. But very mindful of the impact that they will have on countryside pubs and hotels
