The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Half a Mo!
Just back from a 5k bimble which works out at half a Mo as she ran 10K this morning
I've found several items when out running, often on my early morning Sunday long runs. Over the years I have found, in no particular order:

• A £10 note in the middle of a field.
• a £1 coin
• A roll of wallpaper, still in its plastic wrapper lying in the middle of a pavement.
• A set of car and house keys on a trailway
• Numerous children's toys that were probably thrown from pushchairs

This mornings run puts all those in the shade as I stumbled across a pair of Bondage Handcuffs lying at the side of the road They looked to be quite well made and I was momentarily considering picking them up and taking them home to see if Mrs Tenkaykev might be interested😄 On further thought I realised that I am quite attached to my testicles and I'd like it to stay that way.
I can't be the only forumite to have come across the odd item when out and about, so what's the oddest thing you've found?

Were they pink with white fluffy bits on ? If so I think they are Welshies. Last time she visited she told me she lost them on the way home

Well, true to my word, I went back to bed and had a solid 2 hour kip. I would like to say I feel so much better but I don't.
When I got back MrsD (still asleep) mumbled "will you get your bike off the bed, it shouldn't be on it".,

 

[Dave7]

At least I managed to draw a pretty picture today.

Really?? Are you serious ?? 03.48 and you are not in bed !!!

I went to bed about 04:30 and finally got to sleep about 05:15. I then woke up a couple of times during the night. Given up for now and having a mug of tea but for some reason feel tired (!!) so will probably try to get another short snooze before getting up. I will also have a 20 minute catnap this afternoon and maybe another this evening. If you add it all up I probably sleep for around 6 hours a day on average but would do better on 7.

There was a first for me at the summit ... I have never seen a large brown dildo hanging from a roadside bush before!

Before some wag suggests it.. The Bush in question was of the prickly evergreen type!

Light showers and not much wind so need to get out and inspect for damage. Bits of a neighbouring roof are in my front garden.
Soup ready to go. I use the coarse outer leaves from a savoy with some carrots, onion and garlic. Should turn out ok.
A late cruising yacht has been holed up in a bay in the Diorlinn which is the strip of water between Mull and Calve Island. It use to be used regularly but modern yachties probably could not find an anchor and prefer the marina with electric hookup and piped water. We used to go down there and anchor for lunch with a bit of gin to wash it down. A lovely peaceful sheltered spot.
Forecast for later in the week looks reasonable so must get out on the trike if the refugees have been sent home.

A saw. Brand new and still in the cardboard sleeve. Wasn’t a very long blade so I shoved it down the back of my jersey and took it home, hoping I wouldn’t fall off and do myself a mischief!

A great big Happy Birthday to Dirk, it is his third one this year as he only does it to get attention.

One more that I'd forgotten and still use. A 10mm " SnapOn" combination spanner in pristine condition lying in the road at the entrance to Poole Park 👍

I've been shopping, there's a nutty loaf in the machine, I've cooked some mince for cottage pies and yesterday I found out you can freeze cooked swede so made five portion of swede and onion, just got to boil the potatoes for the topping on the cottage pies and clean the kitchen then I'm done for the day
