The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Salut. Got up at 9.30 this morning !!! Half the day gone already and it is dull and wet today. I think the ride is cancelled so no idea what I am going to do later. I might go to Andy's Tyres and see about replacing the front two on the car or I might not.
Anyway, time to take Molly for her walk so

A good, heavy sleep last night and woke at 0810....very nice.
Have I woken up in a different universe ?? There is a post from a guy called @Dirk which suggests he isn't going to have a pub lunch
Maybe I should go back to bed.

He must be ill

Just read that again. I am quite content but those thoughts were a bit depressing.

Small person is two feet away in her high chair, Weetabix and pear puree have gone down cleanly, bagel in one hand Tomee Tippee cup in other, spoon on table...........

.......we are playing throw bagel, spoon and cup on floor and see what Grandad does..........Granddad is currently ahead as he sneaked another bit of clean bagel to her!!!!

Thank god all my grandchildren are adults now. My youngest grandsons (twins) are 19 and at Uni. At my advanced age i doubt I would have the patience to cope with one that small. Hopefully none of my grandchildren are anywhere near wanting to make Me a great grandmother (thank heck)

The water was coming out of my water filter very slowly this morning, just replaced the filter, more expense, still I've got six months to save up until I need another one.

Just back from the supermarket for the usual ready meals! Why did I buy chocolate........some days I just can't resist......never going to lose the half a stone of extra lard I'm carrying at this rate!

Cottage pie for us today. It's still bloody freezing here

Seeing that it's nearly Christmas, I declared today is a fruit cake day, I can practise making and eating it.

It's OK in fact WD. We're fortunate granddaughter is a very happy, content baby and is happy to be here. I put her calmness down to her parents.

Only had one bad day when she was proper poorly and couldn't get off to sleep.

All is good 👍

Bad management, putting said fruit cakes in oven at 11:00 has made my walk a lot later.......or not at all as the cake is not ready yet Oh well maybe an evening walk in the dark
Up date
Just had my renewal for Cycling UK £48 not due until next year so I better start saving, why does everybody want my money
