The Retirement Thread

Are we still allowed to shoot the bearer of bad news

Give it your best shot.

Edited to add
If I should suddenly cease posting, and Dave7 suddenly seems nervous, he's aim has improved (or he's hired a hitman) and he's the guilty party.

End of April before they are opening anyway I’m going to have to get the scissors out again!

Hairdressers are open here as we are level 3. There is one just along the road from me in a private house. The customers are a b----y nuisance particularly on Thursday and Friday as they mostly seem to try to park as far away as possible. There is no parking at the hairdresser as the spaces are all occupied by family cars. They mostly are completely inept at parking anyway and cars are abandoned rather than parked. Thurs and Fri are when they get titivated up for the weekend.

If you look at the pic I posted the other day of me and my trike you can see hair straggling to escape from my hat. Yours is really short and I look like an aged hippy.

Beautiful morning here on the Gold Coast.
Lot of London reg cars on the car park.

Mines very thick, I normally keep it at a very short length, number 2 length.

I've never been nervous when I have shot anyone else

I am knackered!

GPS fettling until 02-something, TV until 03:45, puzzles and reading in bed until 04:45, asleep 05-ish...

I was woken up suddenly before 09:00 by a bunch of my mates up for our annual MTB weekend. Except that...

• These are Covid times so no visits by mates
• We haven't done the MTB weekend for years anyway
• When we used to do the weekend they always stopped at their favourite B&B, not my small house

It turned out to be my neighbours stomping around and calling up and down their stairs to each other!

I finally got back to sleep but was immediately woken up again my bubble pal shouting upstairs to see if I wanted a mug of tea. She isn't here... Noisy neighbours again.

Once more, with feeling... Aargh, they did it again! I give up. It is midday but feels like midnight to me but the sun is shining... I will have some, er, brunch and a short nap. After that I will probably perk up enough to get a quick ride in.

Bloody typical... The neighbours have gone quiet now that I have given up on sleeping!

Oh, Dave, I didn't recognise you with your clothes on. With your CIVILIAN clothes on!

I am back. Had my jab. I was in and out in 16 minutes and that Includes sitting in a chair for 15 mins after the jab. Very efficient they were and very pleasant.

Been for a walk in the 17c, before that changed the bedding and put that in the machine, turned said mattress over, I think I need a new one as it was making a funny noise when I turn over and I do a lot of that during the night as I can't sleep.
I've got Haddock for lunch 🐟 yes I know it's a blue fish, but I couldn't find anything else

Off for a short walk.
Feel more like going back to bed tbh.
The auntie needs some fresh clothes so I have shoved them in a rucksack and off I go. Only 2ish miles.
DO NOT let me forget to pick up the fresh milk .

I would be happy if it at least stopped growing so fast, I wouldn't mind loosing it completely, I'd be quite happy to be a slap head.

Sorry no but I see where you started.
