The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I didn't have an uncle Ernie .

Morning all... The last couple of weeks we've been watching an episode each evening of 'Mare of Easttown'. A detective thriller with Kate Winslet at her best, very recommendable.

A trip to the recycling centre at lunchtime booked, apart from that not much else to do.

No PB's winnings for me this month

One from my FB a few days ago...

We watched on 'Now', a package that came with our BT set up. I think it's on Sky Atlantic as well.

@numbnuts that's a very fine rig you have. Do you get out for cycling days and tours on it or is it mainly a utility bike?

Driving to collect granddaughter I was contemplating breakfast. This is the fault of @Dave7. My mind turned to how when I was a child breakfast was sometimes eggy breakfast with soldiers or boily eggs with soldiers. OK so far......

......now who on earth decided dipping bread in your boily eggs was a thing? Even worse why make soldiers out of bread?

Possibly I've been retired too long? 🤔

The surgery have phoned offering me a GP telephone appointment. I know this can only be to do with the boney growth in my ear spotted at a recent hearing test.

Of course it doesn't stop the mind from racing........

I had an uncle Ernie.
He drove a milk cart.

And don't forget Trigger who pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.

Or, two ton Ted from Teddington who drove the Bakers van.

Does this mean you have an Uncle Ernie on order, awaiting delivery?

 

[classic33]

I can't be the the only one getting these.

I've had the trike for about 6 years now and have never used it for tours as it has an electric motor and too much hassle charging every night. The trailer I only have just got it due the the car getting written off and have not found a replacement as yet, so do my shopping with it.

Or the widow, a lady known as Sue,
she lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22

It is here as well, I've got sheets out so I'm keeping an eye out for passing showers.
