The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks, why was I sleeping outside a dilapidated multi story car park that had been converted into a M&S ? And why did Mrs Tenkaykev get so angry with me just because I’d purchased the Observer when she’d already got a copy ?
Some strange dreams indeed!
Meanwhile, it’s another clear morning, I might venture out and see if the leg injury I picked up Has eased or if a bit more time is required. Have a peaceful day folks ☀️☕️👍

Morning. Dry and calm here this morning. I did hear that Scotland was going to have high winds possibly of 80 MPH. Stay safe Mo.

And stay safe everyone else

Morning all

I'm all at sea. Yesterday felt like Sunday and today feels like Monday. It's coz I got out of my routine with friends coming around.
It's funny how disorientated you can get as you get older.
Lunch booked at the White Lion.

Good morning all, bright and breezy here.
I’d overlooked before the closeness of The Detectorists and of Wurzel. It struck me last night, both set in old fashioned English villages, village greens, village halls, village pubs, bucolic landscapes, English folk music setting the scene. If he isn’t already he needs to be signed up for the English Tourist Board

I love both programs. Very well woven together and poignant in places. My favourite scene in the Detectorists was where the field they were prospecting faded back in time through various eras to the initial person concealing his valuables for safe keeping. ( and the running Simon and Garfunkel gag )

Good morning all.
A bright start to the day here.
After a long dog walk, MrsP and myself are lunching at the Green Dragon which I think does the best roast dinners around our way.
We didn't watch Worzel last night, but as there are some similarities to the Detectorists, which I really liked, I will give it a go..
Enjoy your day everyone.

Mackenzie Crooke does seem to have a deep sense of 'English bucolic' in his writing and production. His attention to detail is also good.

Good morning from the Manchester to Guildford Cross Country service. On my way to a school reunion lunch. The one person I'm still in contact with tracked down 10-12 others and organised three Zoom reunions during lockdown. Today we're all getting together for the first time in 49 years.

The Zoom chats broke the ice......I think this will be very good.

Upgraded my ticket to 1st class for £20. Very comfy.

Fitted my cheap Chinese TPMS to the CRV. Seems to be working OK. It was less than 20 quid.
Off for a stroll down to the White Lion in a mo.

Just returned from a short ride 15 miles It was blooming windy.Most of it into a17. 3 MPH head wind.Struggled to average 11MPH

 

[Tenkaykev]

A one mile jog walk in the sunshine, leg still a little sore so I eased back and walked the last few hundred metres ( very sensible for a change , not at all like me 🤔)

Excellent lunch at the White Lion and the Purity 'UBU' ale was spot on.

Small portion - of course!

And todays lunch was a BIIIG bacon on crusty cob.
I got a bag of mixed, seeded, part baked** cobs last week. Had a couple yesterday......very tasty.
So today was 2 thick slices of bacon, buttered cob and BROWN sauce.
I awarded it a double yum.
**no Classic..... I didn't eat them part baked
