The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

The parkrun was just finishing as we were setting off in fact.
Not sure if our more local one at Heriot-Watt has been able to resume just yet.

When future son in law was driving us to Vogrie parkrun I was thinking “ we’re cutting it a bit fine “ I didn’t realise that parkruns in Scotland started at 9:30 instead of 9:00 🤔

Good morning people, family round this morning, our lad is coming down from Warrington for a few days, He'll hop on the train after he finishes work and text me when his train leaves Birmingham and I'll nip down the station and pick him up.

Hope he is bringing you some Currals pies.....they are rather nice

Good morning all.
Many congratulations to Emma Raducanu on a very good win.
Now we are home there is several loads of washing to do plus other domestics
The grass needs cutting and then Sainsburys are delivering some food for us at lunchtime.
Our Daughter is popping around later for a cup or two of tea, a coffee cake being part of the shopping order.
Dog walking soon via the fields and the cafè for breakfast.
I'm worn out already thinking about today's itinerary.
Another busy day in paradise

Morning. Dull, overcast again. Vera and Vigil are on tonight. Wooooohooo.

Talking of gardens, does anyone want mine? Only nearly 6 acres.

I see Shaun is giving the NACA one more chance. Only open to members and you need to sign Into it to access it. He sounds a tad fed up of the whole thing. I will not be signing up for it. Nope. No way thank you.

Stay safe peeps

According to the T V .guide ITV it’s the start of Endeavour.Seems odd if Vera has been dumper after one episode

Right....I am up and (almost) awake.
As I bored you with I slept most of yesterday so unfortunately missed the tennis.
That girl IMO is very pretty/beautiful, seems very pleasant, just 18 years old AND EARNED A COOL £1.8M from that win.
If I was 5 years younger .

Theres been no mention of pies, it looks like I'll have to quiz him on the matter.

Morning all

Sunny here at the moment.
Got to nip down to Tesco first thing to return some Winalot dog food we bought yesterday. Two of the sachets were split and it'd gone rancid. Doggie not happy.
Off for walk on Broadsands, then a stroll down to the Black Horse for Sunday lunch later.

Morning. It is dull and quite cool here this morning. My back started niggling yesterday and was still bothering me this morning.......not sure what I did to it. Anyway still got myself out for 25 miles and it strangely felt better on the bike, until I got off again. Lol. Probably just a little tweaked muscle. Glad I got out for a bit before the legs forget how to go round and round

I will watch Endeavour tonight then catch up on Vigil tomorrow probably.

Porridge and cuppa now.

Bonjour. Dull and overcast here this morning. I will be on my own, dog sitting, most of the day as my wife is going to Blackpool with our daughter to see grand children. It is only two hour's drive away. Our daughter has two dogs and one of them is Molly's mum.
Molly tolerates other dogs visiting for a bit and then she keeps away from them as if she is saying: " You have been here long enough so it is time for you to go home now."
Have a good day every one.

I was checking up on daughter in Edinburgh via the Garmin Connect app

I am finding Garmin Connect has improved a fair bit over the last year or so. Lots of interesting stats re your health and performance now which I enjoy. Even wondering about ditching Strava to be honest.

I know how she feels........I'm like that with people!
