The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Watched the first episode of Simon Reeves’ new series yesterday, about the Lake District. As with all of his programmes, most interesting.
Learnt a good new word, “sheepwrecked”.

I am shocked! @Mo1959 and @welsh dragon talking about sweeteners…. I thought they would be sweet enough?

Todays excitement will be........
1. Sort the kitchen after I made a curry yesterday.
2. Post office to collect the aunties pension.
3. BINGO !!!!. At the Irish club. Had a really good time there on Sunday with excellent tribute acts.
Bingo is not my thing but MrsD wants me to go so I will give it a try*
*I was due to go last week but was not well.

We are. We just pretend we are not to give you lot something to talk about

 

[welsh dragon]

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

Probably me or Mo. Certainly wasn't you lot

I think Bingo is having a bit of a renaissance among the younger folks. Some Pubs have bingo nights with prizes like a drink for getting a line, forfeits for a wrong call ( singing a karaoke song for example ) Thinking about it logically it’s probably easier to organise than a quiz night.

Morning folks not sure whats on the agenda today, weather is looking iffy. Put some new brake blocks on yesterday ive never worn any down quite so quickly...probably in my youth i would've been grinding them down to nothing.
I bought another copy of 'Total Bike Maintenance' by Mel Allwood' for a friend, only about a fiver 2nd hand on ebay, great value and its really helping with me understanding the mechanics

A belated good morning folks ( I’m often browsing the forum well before those late risers such as Drago and Mo, I just don’t wish to steal their thunder 😉)
A glorious sunny morning but I’m confined to barracks as Mrs Tenkaykev is a bit under the weather following her booster shot yesterday ( Modena following 2x AZ ) I’ll hover around annoying her by asking “ how do you feel now? “ every five minutes, see how long it takes for her to crack and send me out for a walk 😉

Pretty sure Yoga would help me but I have never been into class type exercise and I don’t have the commitment to do it on my own.
