Good morning all.

Driving over to Brize Norton tomorrow to look at some pedigree labrador pups. Just feel so lonely during the day and miss sharing everything I do with a lab.

I hope you find a pup you take a shine to

Coooeee. Another dull overcast start here.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Stopped overnight in Minehead. Drifted off to the pleasant melodies emanating from Butlins 'Ibiza Night' about 1/4 mile away.
All went quiet around midnight.
Off for a doggie walk on North Hill this morning, then back home this afternoon.

Good morning fellow retirees,
A bright still morning, I’ve already watered the plants and made coffee. This evening we’re off out to celebrate our friends joint 70th birthdays. They weren’t on the same day, but the virus situation meant we couldn’t celebrate together at the time so tonight is the night😁
Our friends have booked a room at the Guildhall Tavern in Poole. We’ve visited on quite a few occasions over the years and the food and ambiance has always been very good.
Diet starts Monday…
Have a peaceful day folks 🌻🌻🌻

Latest news
Bin men never came I supose it will stay out there until Monday
Flu jab at the end of the month cancelled - reason "it was out of our control"
Chocolate cake - very nice

Probably because it is a Bank Holiday week so they come a day later. That’s the thing about retirement, suddenly the only difference a BH means is that the subsequent bin day changes.

My mother rings me occasionally. She’s very deaf so it’s always a one sided conversation, she tells me what she wants to tell me and my role is just to listen. Yesterday she was telling me about her evacuee experience, a nine year old put on a train in Birmingham bound for deepest Worcestershire, near Malvern I think. She recalls the day as 1st Sept, and she stayed there for two years. Her mother used to visit her most weekends. She loved the young couple that she was boarded with and stayed in touch with them for the rest of their lives.

Good morning all.
Our binmen come on Bank Holidays for both bins. So no losing track of the days here fortunately.
Yet another grey gloomy morning, and it looks like it will last all day.
Various things planned for today to keep me out of trouble.
Stay safe everyone

I'm doing the ironing now, just stopped for a and a cake, one of Tesco's finest cream horns. Carers were here at a reasonable time this morning, quarter past seven, I was already up and about when they arrived.

Now could be a good time to find it, it'll give you endless activities to do.

Be lucky if I've used mine twice in the nearly 10 years since I finished work and ironing work shirts.

I doubt that very much
