The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Apologies for the intrusion
My application has been submitted to take early, partial retirement from April.
Am I allowed to join in from then?

We take anyone as long as they don't mind the drivel this lot talks

Quiet in here…….am I first?

Another chilly start for us. Been a bit more rain overnight.

Given the number of cuppas I have in a day with sugar, I have ordered some Stevia powder from Bulk Powders to try. I believe it is supposed to be very sweet so better just try a quarter spoonful at first. It seems to be one of the healthier of the artificial sweeteners, although I’m not convinced any of them are exactly healthy.

Can we have a review please. Seriously. I use Canderel, only 3 tabs/day but an alternative would be interesting.

Morning. Calm and dry here. Another grand day in paradise

Stay safe peeps

Think it will be light enough to see where I’m going by the time I reach the trail so I am off.

Blue bin day….the excitement!

Double the excitement here it's blue AND grey bin for us.

Yes, it’s quite near Monkey World, I’ve not visited Monkey World for years, I think the original people who set it up have passed away?

We visited Monkey World some years ago and was impressed with the place, Jim Cronin the founder past away a long time ago, his Mrs Alison is still with us, I don't know about Jeremy though.

Morning all

Off to Bridport street market today and West Bay.
Looking at Google maps last night, I noticed some strange objects moored up in Castletown Bay on Portland Bill. Turns out they are unused sections of the D Day Mulberry harbour. There is also a D Day museum in the town. Might give that a visit.

And todays pub will be ????

Good morning world. Windy, grey and damp. It's November. Fortunately I don't have a bike ride today though may sneak out for an hour this afternoon.

This morning we are attending the first meeting of the Family Working Group. This is a new initiative from the organisation which provides our son's care. Should have been in place for decades but that's another matter. I'm fairly confident that the reason for inviting us is "shy and retiring' is not a phrase applied to our household!!

I also have to match up 22 recently engraved club trophies with 22 engraved medals. This is the stuff of nightmares for a club sec.........the moment when you discover all is good or it's SNAFU. 😂

I'm going to do this now. 🤞

Double the excitement here it's blue AND grey bin for us.

What is the grey bin for ?
Ours are.......
Black........general rubbish
Green.......garde waste
Blue........recycle.

Oh forgot. This is so brilliant I hope it's for real. https://uk.movember.com/mospace/14328019

Lancashire is:

Green = general household waste, anything which isn't recyclable
Brown = paper/cardboard**
Blue = glass/plastic
Grey = garden waste. Costs £35pa

** I keep newspapers and cardboard for my compost heap but all other paper goes in.

Now that is not true.
I am sure I read an intelligent comment once. Can't recall when or who it was off though
