The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Not much on today. Got a fellow retiree swinging by for a coffee later, but thats it, so lots of time for bass practice.

And tomorrow is...

M.O.T. day!!!

 

[Drago]

...a few trees starting to look like they are on the turn.

Like Philip Schofield?

Yep the leaves are starting turn and some are falling off the trees.

Good morning all.
A visit to the chiropractor for a three monthly crack and nudge is the highlight of the day.
The weather looks like being another grey day, and definitely a bit cooler.

 

[Drago]

Its definitely cooler, despite the fortnight long heatwave that was forecast. Im wondering if ill make it to December in my shorts this year.

Good morning all, and a very fresh and sunny autumnal morning it is too 😍
Today we have tickets for the Japanese Garden near Dollar, so we’ve picked a good day.

Neighbours over the road were there a few months ago. It looked lovely in the pics they put up.

Good day. Grey, still and cool. The birch and sycamore I can see through the window are beginning to turn and shed a few leaves.

Mrs P has gone away for two days. Shortly I will head out on a gravel route a friend sent me. It involves a ferry so I need to check this is sailing first.

After the highs of Graduation Day in Edinburgh,all things seem flat.Wet yet again in Leeds.Got no jobs to do in da house,so a day of couch sitting.Tomorrow is better Mrs P will be the age in a well known Beatles song.

WOW! Lucky escape. The ferry is running but the timetable doesn't fit well. Last sailing this morning is 11.15 and it's 50 miles away. First afternoon sailing is 14.45 which would leave me around 45 miles to complete the ride after landing at about 15.00. Today is re-planned. Full on domestics followed by careful route planning, relaxing evening and early night. Ride tomorrow with an @Mo1959 style start..........well not that early but hopefully 07.00/15. 🤞

I will return for elevenses.......

Oops!
Just realised that my garage door has been left unlocked.
Must have been like that since we went away last month.
Good job I don't live in a major city, else I reckon they'd have cleared out about 10 grands worth of bike stuff.

Mr WD has left the front door unlocked at night on numerous occasions.

Several years agoMrs Tenkaykev left her car keys in the rear tailgate lock. She drove infrequently and it was only when a passing neighbour asked if I realised that the car keys were in the lock that I noticed that they were there. When I mentioned it to Mrs Tenkaykev her response was " Oh, so that's where I left them " 🤔
