The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Bonjour tout le monde. I am the only one up so far. Breakfast done, Molly walked and sitting by my side now. Yesterday, our daughter noticed that there was no crackers in her Tesco delivery so I may have to go to Bideford to get some, 16 miles round trip for a box of crackers !!
I am the only one who can go as she is not allowed to drive till the end of January after her operation and granddaughter's car is off the road. She is getting her new one later today but not insured till midnight tonight.
I will be glad when our daughter moves closer to civilisation ( East the Water, what a strange name) as she is in the middle of nowhere at the moment and a pain when shopping is needed.

There's a few on here!

TBH the phrase "do without" comes to mind.

Still another 7 days to run for the Marcothon challenge. Maybe I’ll just do a Forrest and keep on going!

You may want to re-phrase that last bit, a forest means something else to some people

I was woken in the early hours by the sound of a large dog barking in the distance.........on Dartmoor.

Morning Mr Baskerville

Well done @Mo1959 but what are you going to do now until the New Year starts and a new challenge I expect?
Rest on your laurels for a bit and take it easy.

She’s going to practice eating Marmite

Morning doggie walk done on the Moor.
Dropped in to the Dartmoor brewery and picked up a couple of cases of Dragon's Breath.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in the Peter Tavy Inn.
Turkey dinner ordered.

Bah Humbug.

You forgot stroke and admire my new love ( the new bike , in case mrs PaulSB reads this)

The car is in the garage do I do this every time I get the car out....

 

[PaulSB]

One question!
What allowance(s) have you made for it snowing?

I'll send Mrs P.........her car is better in the snow than mine.
