The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

There’s a hint in Scotland’s daily covid numbers that we might be over the worst, for this wave anyway. Fingers crossed. Hoping it’s not just a Monday reporting glitch.

I'm feeling stressed - the water pipes are clunking in my kitchen ceiling again! Fortunately, the new ceiling has not yet been skimmed*** so I can take the plasterboards down to get at the pipes and fix them to the joists properly.

*** I kept putting it off despite my landlady's attempts to get it done for me. I didn't want potentially Covid-plague-ridden plasterers coming in during lockdown. I also realised that there is another problem which is that the floor above the ceiling is not strong enough. When I walk across the bathroom floor I can feel (and hear) the floor flexing. No point in getting the ceiling below skimmed until that is sorted out because the plaster would soon crack.

Oh it's cloudy and only 18c.

Think yourself lucky.....it's 13C here. Suits me though as I am more comfortable when it's a bit cooler.

But... you (presumably!) are usually clothed?

Has everyone gone to bed early tonight? The telly can't be that good.
The wind is picking up outside, there is heavy rain forecast for the early hours of the morning and most of the day.

I’ve just finished catching up on Vigil. Break while I have supper, then watching Silent Witness at 9.

Oh **** that means I’m on plan C tomorrow, I’m not sure what that will be at the moment. I originally planned cycling in the morning followed by completing the shed staining In the afternoon

I can't go to bed early otherwise I will be awake at 2pm . True that there is nothing worth watching on tv tonight so it will be youtube and possibly Prime until bed time.
Planning on going for a ride tomorrow depending on the weather.

We stopped watching Vigil.
To me it got boring.
What think you ?

Loving it. I enjoy most crime dramas.

Nope, I'm here. I'm playing online Canasta. Mrs P is watching Silent Witness. I have a thing about Emelia Fox - she winds me up no end. I can't watch anything she's in.

I'm enjoying it though I think some of the parts on the boat are dull.

I struggle to find anything to watch..its either horse or bull I like Plebs which is mildly amusing and er um...oh Star Trek Enterprise and Voyager, i have the complete Voyager box set so know every episode off by heart. Moto GP sometimes, and finally being an intellectual with super refined taste.....Sponge Bob Square Pants

Emelia Fox is pretty hot in my estimations,
