The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

When our kids were small we would sometimes walk across Coundon Wedge on a Sunday afternoon, a lovely place for a walk.

Coundon Wedge was at the end of our road so I spent a lot of my youth messing around over there with my mates.

I may be going back to Devon sometime next week, and the potholes.

Coundon Wedge was at the end of our road so I spent a lot of my youth messing around over there with my mates.

I just found a video on YouTube of a speeded up walk around Coundon Wedge (complete with over-jaunty music!). It is bigger than I remembered it being. Definitely a pity about Coundon Wedge Drive crossing it, but I suppose the city needed the new road really for access...

Good morning folks,
Its Mo O’clock and I’m up and about. I snuck downstairs so I don’t disturb Mrs Tenkaykev, I know she’s still asleep as I can hear her snoring
Veg box and blue bin day today, there’s a new coffee blend to explore and the second pair of Brommies to give a once over.
have a peaceful day folks

Like an illegal ebike riser on his way to Court, I have risen!

Good morning people.

Morning. Been up for an hour but playing games. PJ day as it’s to be heavy rain all day, although I’m wishing I had just gone for a walk before it got too bad. No matter. More rain tomorrow then it’s looking much better after that. Quite dry and settled.

Morning all

Same old, same old today.
Might get out in the garden if the weather's OK.

Morning all.
Answer me this, if you can.
The auntie was in a respite home.
If we booked a visit we arrived, were asked "do you have any Covid symptoms"?......fine. both went through another door and sat in front of a screen while the auntie came out.
THIS new home.
Book a slot.
ONLY ONE person allowed.
Have to turn up, get swabbed, then sit in the car for30 minutes while it's checked. Then JUST ONE is allowed to sit in front of a screen etc.

Surely there is/should be guidelines for these homes.
Right
Old fart rant over

Morning. Grey and dark here. Looks like a rainy day in store. That equals more coffee and slobbing.

Stay safe folks

Think I have said it before. I enjoy a coffee 1st thing.... then that's it, I can't face another one.

Funny, I'm the opposite, can't face coffee first thing, always have a hot chocolate, but then it's coffee all day for me.

That's just weird - I need at least 2 coffees before I start properly

when I bothered working I used to have one coffee at home then another as soon as I got to work
but then I probably drink too much coffee

 

[Dirk]

I don't drink coffee anymore.
Suddenly realised that I actually never really did like the taste of it about 9 months ago.
Only drink tea now.
