The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Morning folks. Dull and overcast here.

I was so hot in bed last night that I thought I had somehow turned my electric blanket on but no, it was just me thank god.

Stay safe peeps

You'd plugged yourself into the mains!!

An excellent day yesterday, Train journey to Wool, lunch and a couple of pints at the Black Bear with friends and daughter and grandson visiting from Leeds, the capital of Yorkshire. They headed to the beach later in the afternoon and returned early evening. We settled down to watch " Yesterday ", Mrs Tenkaykev and I watched it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. 11 year old grandson thought it was very good, he's not familiar with the music of the Beatles but really enjoyed it.
They're off to Corfe Castle today, a journey on a steam train to Swanage for a wander around and Fish + Chips on the Prom.
I'll wander up to the Library and along the Trailway, possibly have lunch out depending how the mood takes me.
Have a peaceful day folks

Yorkshire capital: York
West Riding of Yorkshire capital: Wakefield
West Yorkshire capital: Leeds, possibly

I hope you correct him on this matter.

West Riding of Yorkshire capital: Wakefield

That's news to me - I will have to do some local history revision!

Even google and bing agree with Wakefield being the capital of the West Riding.

Remember, this is pre April Fool's Day, 1974.

Back from a little walk, only a few spots of rain so far. Paused on a bridge over the Water of Leith just as a kingfisher darted under it, good timing
Some of the blackberries starting to ripen now.

I have 2 lots of washing done and hanging on the line (the washing that is not me). No idea how long it will stay there as it looks like it could well rain.....any second, or not.

Bringing together Dansettes and old Beatles songs... My older sister was a young teenager when the Beatles burst onto the global music stage. She had a paper round and used her wages to buy a Dansette and then every Beatles (and Rolling Stones) record as soon as they were released. I used to listen to all of her records well before I could have bought any myself.


My friend told me that she had bought a small digital camera from a charity shop for only £3 to take on holiday. I thought it would be horribly nasty and take awful pictures but they turned out really well. I was impressed. I looked at the camera - it was a nice compact Panasonic Lumix. Its original price had probably been round about £200!

Thats the same make as the camera I've just taken to the local charity shop, they're good camera's, cost north of two hundred quid brand new.
