The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

You've watched one.
There's more than one to watch.

I've got Die hard 2 for tomorrow and with vengeance the following day.

Not binge watching all of them, like some on here?

Be as well to hit the sack. What a long, boring day it’s been.

It's early yet!

Couple of films to suggest to people.

"Allt Flyter" which is about the Swedish male synchronised swimming team. Very good.

"A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood" a wonderful Tom Hanks film. Mrs P started watching and I had half an eye on it. After about 15 minutes I was drawn in to it. Great film.

I'm going to bed now. I'm rather glad today is over with. It's a strange day if no one is around.

Odd in a way, given

My guests (for some obscure reason ) did NOT fancy watching "A Christmas Stray" and instead chose a film that I would never have chosen for myself - Phantom Thread. I don't normally pay extra to watch things on Amazon Prime Video, but what the heck, it was Christmas Day; I coughed up the £3.49 to hire the film. Daniel Day-Lewis is as intense as ever as a domineering control freak, but perhaps his new, younger partner will not be subjugated by him...? A bit different; we enjoyed it.

Good morning all, thats another traditional Xmas day negotiated, we talked till the conversation ran dry, we watched crap TV till we were bored and we ate till we thought we would explode, now its boxing day, more of the same with the addition of visiting family, I'm glad its only once a year.

Morning all

Well, that's another Xmas day over with. Just another normal Saturday, except the shops were shut.
Off to Minehead this morning for a couple of days, staying at our best mates place. Should be fun.

The traditional Boxing Day cyclo-cross will be run on Kenilworth common later this morning, it could be a bit of a mud bath.

Good morning, world!

It very dull and wet on Planet Thanet today, and nearly 6 degrees. I have no plans for today so we will see what the day brings.....

Keep safe, everyone, and have a good day.

 

[welsh dragon]

How long is now though?

Hard to tell. Could be 10 minutes

Good morning. It's dull, damp, grey and the birds are singing - do they think it's spring or something?

That's Christmas done and dusted then. Subject to negative tests all the family are home on Tuesday. In a way I think this is better than the pressure Christmas Day brings.

I might go on the allotment but more likely I'll knock around the house, check out hoped for sale prices on a new phone and try to get a Sky Day pass to watch Rovers on the box. We're the featured Championship match for Boxing Day, I can't recall that happening before.

Football. I'm not sure how many of you are fans. In this house we are, we are Rovers through thick and thin. The last ten years have been dreadful but today we're feeling excited and proud again. It's great.

I'm going to have bacon, tomato, fried potatoes and eggs for breakfast.
