The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Hello! Still dark but the sky is clear and no wind. I'd hoped for a good drying day as I've sheets to wash, beds to change.

Exciting day ahead..... housework and ironing which I'm going to start now....

Good morning all, a cool, cloudy start to the day here.
A long dog walk beckons today as all the domestics were done yesterday.
No bike riding today though.
Another busy day in paradise

Good morning folks, no carer yet, my Good Ladies still sleeping, today I've got floors to mop, carpets to vacuum and polishing to do, and we might pop out to lunch.

Morning all

Got to nip in to ALDI in Tewkesbury this morning for supplies.
Weather's not looking too bad, so we'll find somewhere for a nice walk and then have lunch.
Yesterday was good. We'd arranged to meet up with our mates from Redditch at the Drum & Monkey in Upton on Severn. As we were sat waiting in the car on the car park, a blue VW campervan screeched up alongside us. It was our best mates from Minehead, who were returning from a tour of Scotland. They'd read our WhatsApp messages with our other mates and decided to surprise us.
We were totally gobsmacked to see them there!
What a lovely surprise!
I was so chuffed that I paid the £95 lunch bill and treated them all.

Any luck in your hunt for the giraffe you mislaid?

Good morning folks,
A very misty and grey morning at first, but the sun has burnt the mist off and it's bright and sunny. Not decided on the days activities yet, we are on standby in case we need to look after our granddaughter while mum goes to her course. If not needed we might go for a run or a bike ride.
Tomorrow I will venture into Poole to collect tickets from the Lighthouse Theatre. We're going to see Macbeth performed by the " Handlebards " a troupe of Shakespearean players who cycle between venues. Looks like being a fun and entertaining evening.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

If you ever come to a car park near me, let me know and I will come and surprise you. You can then treat me to lunch.

Good morning all, cool and cloudy again, wetness forecast.
Glad to see Prince William having a dig at William Shatner et al.
Disappointed to hear about Robert Webb having to pull out of Strictly, him and Dianne were a great couple.
