The Retirement Thread

Mrs Tenkaykev admitted defeat when attempting a Marmite jigsaw.

Oh she didn’t try spreading it on toast

Caught up on the episodes of Professor T that I had missed. Just the final part live tomorrow night. I’ve enjoyed it. Another new crime drama starting next Sunday with Suranne Jones which sounds promising too.

Prof T is interesting, eh!
I hadn’t spotted it is made by the makers of a Belgium series - 39 episodes there! May try to look it up sometime…

@Drago , just a message for you if you read this. I wasn't aware of what you were going through at the time so I think I owe you an apology for saying you may be sulking.
I hope you will come back when the time is right for you. Take care my friend.

Don't sweat it...although I wasn't aware that I had anything cc related to sulk about!

I was nursing my dying dog, checking on him throughout the day and night. No tv, internet, best I managed was reading a book or magazine while he slept with his head in my lap.

His abdomen started to swell and the vet advised the tumour was bleeding and filling it with blood, leaving him anaemic and struggling to breathe. That's when I made the decision to end his pain and send him to Rainbow Bridge.

I'm still grieving, but now have more time and can start resuming my normal routine, albeit without any dog walking.

You may gather I'm a bit pissed off after today's footie. 😄😄😄

Never, not been to Aldi as well?

Really sorry to hear about your dog Lemmy. Just remember the good times. Take care

The good news is, if there can be any, that Mrs D is a prolific smartphone photographer and we have 560 hi res photos and videos of him, so we habe plenty to reminisce over. All now duly backed up multiple times, with a final USB stick and another copy on disc in the fire safe.

Hello world 🌍. I'm not sure how long I'll manage today. I may have to join the 0300 hours thread. Tired but can't sleep.

So, it's wet out but not raining. I've decided against riding today. Lots of stuff to do including bedding in new rotors and pads on the Cervelo and setting up the saddle on the Kinesis - both involving short rides. Cycle club admin. Housework, ironing, beans to pick and freeze etc.

Nackered thinking about it which hopefully will send me to sleep later. 🤞

Good morning folks,
Granddaughter is taking part in her first junior parkrun this morning. She celebrated her fourth birthday last week and as that’s the lower age limit she’ll be one of the youngest. I took a quick look at last weeks event and see that the first across the line was a girl with a time of eight minutes for the 2k route 😮
We’re cycling down on the Brommies and I’ll take the new child seat so she can go for a ride with us if she wants ( she was a bit nervous about it last time)
Sun is out and coffee is brewed.
Stay safe folks 🌻☀️🏃‍♂️🚴☕️

Morning. Another gloomy, drizzly start but warm. I dozed off again and managed to stay in bed until just after 6.30 which is excellent for me these days. Off for a walk after my cuppa.

Whereas I, on the other hand
Harvey elliot played the full 90 minutes and was excellent.

Morning all.
Very gray and drizzling here. Another tv/sports day beckons.
@Drago .....nice to see you back. I can't/wont comment on the loss of your friend as we have never had a dog so cannot understand the pain people go through.
@Mo1959 nice to see you slept till 0630. Isn't it a nice feeling.
