The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Part one of the deal done, my wife and I ordered a new three piece suit to be delivered towards the end of June.
Part two is to go to the bike shop when they re-stock on new Treks and probably order one.
Savings are taking a beating.

Suppose, just suppose they aren't taking orders for the foreseeable future. And suppose, just suppose, it was known when the agreement was made.

No matter what happens, I will still benefit from the new three piece just as much so I can't lose but there are plenty of bike shops around.

So I stayed home today. Cleaned the fridge, this was a serious priority, weeded, cut grass which is all quite productive.

Just had a message to say they did a sub six hour century averaging 16.8mph. 😳🥴 Very glad I stayed home.

You're not kidding you needed to clean the fridge, full of weeds and grass, when did you last do it?

You are not on an island so do not have the same problems as we do.

True, but we are quite isolated.
Sea to the West and North of us, estuary to the South and Exmoor to the East.
We have basically one road, of any size, into the area and we are 43 miles from the nearest motorway junction.
Not quite an island - but it feels pretty much like one sometimes.

I enter a lot of competitions. I have won quite a few. I have tried in vain to win some amazing prizes, won a few decent ones, and seen a few odd prizes - e.g. a year's supply of Muc Off anyone...?

Call me old-fashioned though, but it boggles my mind that anybody would offer a divorce as a prize!!!!!!!

Good morning all.

Good morning folks,
Weather is looking pleasant, we’re of to Dorchester on the train as we’ll be attending a beer festival at the Copper Street Brewery 🍺🍺
Not a lot planned for the rest of the day, perhaps we’ll sit in the garden and fall asleep 😁

Good day people. Grey and still at the moment though I suspect the sun will appear in the next couple of hours.

Granddaughter is coming today. This is now a lovely regular Saturday event. I'm becoming unsure if I should stop doing everything and be in the same room all the time. Mrs P seems to do most of the feeding, cuddling and playing etc. Possibly I need to wrestle granddaughter away from her and have my turn? 😃

Need to build a structure to support my sweet peas.

Nothing else planned.

I have risen!

My Sweet Peas are in pots and small at the moment.

Good morning all, a murky start here. Forecast to see some sun this afternoon.
I was reading a tweet from the BBC Scotland reporting that yesterday the West Highlands saw 20°, the first 20° of the year in Scotland. This is the latest “1st 20° Day” for nearly 40 years. In 1983 the day was June 1st.
Still waiting for 20° here on the East Coast.

Good morning everyone.
A grey start to the day with the possibility of a shower or two later.
I should be able to get out for a pootle later on, inbetween all the other duties I have been given by SWMBO.😉

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooeee. Not cold here but it's misty and raining. Seems to be we get cold and wet or warm and wet here.

Stay safe peeps

Morning. Overcast and murky here but mild. I did an early 10k jog, nice steep in the bath and now sat down with a big bowl of fruit and fibre. Not sure if it will brighten up later or not. Tomorrow looks sunnier so maybe an early bimble will be on the cards.
