The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

Mo, your picture looks like a painting. Amazing.​

Still clear air and a ride will be happening after some chores. It will be fairly cool today, only 30C and its 11C now. Great for mid August. Praps I can do some rocks today.​

Mrs 12 will start on some steroids today which will hoprfully increase her appetite and ease her breathing. She has had a rough week. Still the same sweet lovely girl, though.​

Be well and safe.​

On the topic of chimneys, it was only a couple of years ago that I'd put on a Christmas song mix and The Ella Fitzgerald song " Santa Claus got stuck in my Chimney " was playing that I really listened to the Lyrics. Filth! Filth I tell you! 😮

Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in the chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
He won't come back I fear (boo)

There he was in middle of the chimney
Roly-poly, fat, and round
There he was in middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down

Santa, please, come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back to my chimney
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
You can come back here (please do)

Disgraceful. Should we send him to the toaster thread for a while?? 🤔🤔

Mr WD has been cleaning the chimney out and I have been the labourer pulling on the string to pull the brush down inside it to clear the ash

A woman's work is never done.

Pulling on a string!
Last time I did that, it were a rope that were used.

Hello.
Well things turned out ok in the end. I went to see Mike ( the MOT person) at opening time at 8.30 this morning and, as luck would have it, his 8,30 appointment didn't turn up so he did my car right away and pleased to say it passed.
So after getting home, I got on my bike and did a 50 miles ride, my longest so far this year.
All in all, a very good day I say.

I finally got tempted into signing up for Amazon Prime. I mainly use it for Prime Video but it is handy getting overnight free delivery on many items. I ordered a Garmin mount last Saturday evening and it arrived Sunday afternoon!

I see the St Johnstone vs Galatasary match starts at 7 on BBC Scotland. Might stick that on as there’s nothing else.

I have foolishly agreed to a shopping trip to Newcastle today, with Mrs @BoldonLad.

I am really excited about it

Liar liar your pants are on fire,you little liar Tommy.

Watching the game Mo, but keep getting distracted by sheer number of betting companies on the digital hoardings 😮😮

Watching with grandson who’s really enjoying it. Great to see some grass roots football and decent commentary and half time analysis instead of the usual Premier League suits.
