The Retirement Thread

[GM]

Morning all...Had a nice early delivery from Dunelm at 7.30, got a new TV cabinet, that'll keep me busy for a couple of hours setting it in position. Porridge first, can't rush a good job. Weather's looking good for today might even get the muddy car washed later.

Enjoy your day folks!

9 mile run done. Hard work this morning with the usual leaden legs that have zero power and bounce in them these days.

My next excitement of the day will be getting a set of hex keys. Lol. Sometimes I find the ones on the multi tool awkward so decided to get separate ones.

I have been browsing the stock market. I have made a massive $6 dollars by dumping easyjet and buying Ocado .

Good morning fellow retirees,
It’s finally stopped raining.☔️
Had a Zoom Christmas Café meeting yesterday afternoon with a group of people from our patients support group, sixteen or so scattered around the country. We all wore Christmas hats / Jumpers and I noticed several were imbibing, very decadent😀
Our granddaughter is coming for her first sleepover on Saturday while mum has a night out with friends. Mrs Tenkay and I are really excited, just like big grown up kids 😁
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Good Morning All. Nothing planned for today.

Don't all of you mock my investments . Last week I was $46 dollars down. I bought gold. You can't go wrong with gold can you? Yes. You. Can.

Buy silver, you can thank me later


Forgot to mention earlier, we had another great evening Zooming. We invited our nieces and nephews to join us, they're scattered all over the country and a niece in Melbourne oz, great to see them all getting on well.

You should have asked Gordon Brown he knows all about gold

Yes, don't we know it. What a t**t he was.

Try not to use the ball end if possible, I've just rounded out the hydraulic brake plug on mine (my fault as I did use the wrong size ), and had to buy a new plug (£4 for a poxy little screw!!!). The flat hex end always sits in better.

My bins have been emptied. Wooohooo. I need some bread and a few odds and sods, and I need to post my cards. How exciting my day has become.

There's only one Harvey Elliot.......

You don't need this lad @Dave7

There is talk about bringing him back in january but I think staying with you is better for all concerned.
MrsD fell in love** with him 1st time she saw him aged 16.
**Thats grandson type love.......he was so skillful but humble with it
4 points off playoff for Rovers I think.

Dry so far here and not much wind.
Intensive house cleaning and hoovering as son and daughter in law arriving with presents which could not be entrusted to the main carrier Menzies who seem to be getting a bit strange.
We are not going into level one on Friday but into some sort of two minus. The whole of Argyll & Bute is remaining in level two mainly due to the nuclear submarine base which is about 100 miles away from here as it covers a very large area. However the islands of which there are many are being allowed the same relaxations as the outer islands in level one so we are in a kind of limbo. Must make sense to somebody.

Agree** with you there Mo although £26 seems expensive. Do you not have a Tool Station or Screwfix in reach.
**altering the saddle or removing/fixing the bottle cage is a real pain.

Good quality tools never come amiss and nothing is cheap nowadays. Mind you I got a good set from Aldi/Lidl which have served me well.
