The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning fellow retirees,
Is it Monday?
A bit of diy this morning, plus I really need to do some stretching as I’ve been neglecting that and feeling the lack of mobility.
The rain arrives tomorrow and it’s set in for the week.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks

Morning all.
Today has arrived and it won't be a good one.
The cousins funeral is 10.30. Its a BIG family but only 15 are allowed in the crem'. The family insist that MrsD and myself should be in that 15........tbh It makes me uncomfortable but that is their wish.
Another thing I don't like........we have to follow the hearse. I suggested we meet them at the crem' but that was over ruled.

I have risen!

Good morning folks. Quite Brrrrr here.

Shopping day for us today so a trip to the metropolis of Newtown will be required.

Stay safe folks

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's going to be a cloudy day here.
The usual dog walking and then I'll be out on the bike for a while keeping the legs ticking over. A bit of shopping to do on the way back at the local shops.
I'm hoping to cut the grass if it dries out.
Another busy day in paradise.
Stay safe everyone.

Did you know that Newtown (which was established many years ago) BECAME an actual new town in 1967**
Even now the population is less than 13,000.
I mentioned previously that back around 1970 a guy I worked with moved there as they were offering new houses.
One for @classic33 ..... what was the population in 1996**
Serious question as I can't find it.

Morning all

Hitching up in a couple of hours and towing back home up the Atlantic Highway. Should only take about 1 1/2 hours.
Been a nice 10 day break and we've had some fairly decent weather.

I didn't know that. Quite a few towns here have small numbers of residents.

Newtown is the largest in Powys apparently.

Swim done, it is not something I look forward to but when it is finished I feel great.

Wonderful. Snoozed till 8.15. I seem to be getting quite good at this. Milk lady has been so a quick coffee, breakfast and on with the day. Forecast was for light breeze, blowing a gale here!!
