The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Just back from a 5k run/gasp with a friend. It wasn't too cold, wooly hat came off after a couple of K and the gloves shortly after. Mrs Tenkaykev has a Physio appointment in Wimborne this afternoon, we were originally going to cycle but the forecast of high winds and rain means we'll be getting the bus.

Just overheard my neighbours outside with one of them repeatedly saying that well-known expression concerning coldness resulting in the separation of the precious possessions of the copper- alloy ape; then it hit me why are those parts called 'nuts' when 'nuts' are otherwise female components? Scratches own head in confusion.

Well I thought I would find out about this. Testicles contain sperms, the seed. Nuts contain seeds.......

At the same time I learned in a Roman court of law men had to hold their testicles in their right hand while swearing an oath.

Just been outside. Not even a frost but a forecast 90% chance of snow at 11.00.

We abandoned ideas of a walk and headed home from the garage. 10.57 the snow started. A friend has just posted its horizontal over the tops which means if I walk ¾ mile uphill from the house it will be serious stuff.

Have coffee, warm stove and small child. Not sure about this?

Thank you. I must write in and ask Susie Dent about this.

Well..... I went back to bed and had a good kip. Feeling better now.
It is extremely piddly out there so much of todays plans have been put back till tomorrow.
And.......
Our stupid grass is still growing!!! I read, somewhere, that it should be cut twice over winter. Fat chance of that happening.

My grass is still growing, bandit looks reall tatty at the moment. Far too wet to cut it though.

Welshie. "Oi you've missed me, am I too late"
Bin man "no, jump up on the cart"

Whilst you’re at it, ask her about clipping in to clipless pedals

It's clouded over here in south Hertfordshire, I don't think it's going to snow, but rain is forecast for later on.

 

[welsh dragon]

The sky here looks like we could have snow at anytime

Who is the one you call 'bandit'?

Blasted predictive text, and me for not proof reading first before tapping the button.
It should be "and it"
