The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

3.9C this morning but it will warm up later. Splashes of red and yellow in thd the trees, vines and other plants as fall comes in creeping like a nun. Thanks, JL for the creepy image.
BTW, when I was four and we lived in Madras, my ma fell over dead one night and this devastated my dad, who was lost for a while. He placed me in a boarding school run by Belgian nuns who found me a difficult and spoiled kid. They attempted to discipline by making me eat the eggshells for soft boiled eggs and kneeling on walnuts. I grew up hating and fearing nuns although I am over it now. Now that I think about it, I always found clowns scary too.
A ride will be ridden in a while and arrows prolly arched as well. A mow will be in order as well.
Be well and safe, and speaking of that, we oldies will be due our third Covid shot in the next month or so, as a booster. Is that a thingover there?

Have not heard anything "official" to that effect, but, daughter No1 (who works in local vaccine centres), does tell me, that is "the plan".

Not really posted for a couple of days. Can't seem to get my head in gear.
We were going to have a full roast but neither of us is up to it so I will have a roast beef butty while MrsD will join Mo with beans on toast.

She'd pinch Mo's beans on toast!!

If you gave her a chance.
However as it's a bit far away and the beans would be cold......so MrsD will likely have her own.

Only one way to find out if they'd be cold, but I'd say Mo will have cleared her plate by now.

Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run

Roast pork for us tonight, the meats already in the oven, with jacket spuds and mixed veg.

Oh, of course... I was trying to work out who 'JL' was and thought that 'creeping like a nun' sounded familiar!

Good afternoon, someone had broken this when I was along earlier.

@ebikeerwidnes - it's always split the bill in our circle BUT usually, if necessary, someone will say, on behalf of John, "John only had such and such or we had and extra bottle of wine" and then chuck in a bit extra.

@Mo1959 you have my understanding. My mojo keeps disappearing along with my sleep and with increasing weight - which I'm really peed off about. The weight aspect I get really cross with myself over as it impacts everything I do. I'm trying a new tack this time; taken five days rest from exercise of any sort and used the time to catch up all the stuff I needed to do. Get on top of the allotment, fix and wash bikes etc. Stay in bed when I wake at 3.00-4.00. It's worked quite well. I've got a lot of stuff done so no list of jobs, I feel quite rested and this morning I felt like doing my morning exercise routine plus I've planned two rides for later in the week.

Thanks. Enjoyed that.

Lennon would have been 81 this year. What an awful waste and how much have we lost.

Yes; I remember how shocked I was when he was murdered.

Thanks. Enjoyed that.

For a long while, Beatles songs were not available online but most record companies have seen sense now.

Help yourself HERE!

I'm listening to a Beatles playlist that I put together a few years ago, 41 tracks starting with Back In The USSR and finishing with Please Please me.

Thats been book marked.

 

[ColinJ]

I'm watching Beatles videos now. What strikes me is how much they packed into songs that are less than 3 minutes long!

Along the road are still having fun in the French mountains I see. Looks amazing.
