The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Well..... what a let down.
We arrived at the hairdressers and smugly parked on double yellows..... making sure the blue badge was properly displayed**
Just about to cross the road when I noticed a very faded yellow mark on the kerb. Checked further and there were a few of them, all VERY faded......meaning we can't park there. Took ages to find anywhere that the blue badge allows us to park.
It was a struggle for MrsD but heyho we made it.
**upside down or side on its a 30 quid fine.

Pleasantly sunny here. Been to the gym. Nice view of a dipper on the way back. Big day for us this evening, we are having a meal out for the first time since before the pandemic. Not sure it’s a good idea but we can’t shut ourselves away for ever.

Fray Bentos? Dad used to eat them. They look pretty awful even for my low culinary standards!

Good afternoon folks,
Much excitement here at Tenkay Towers, the Council lighting team have turned up with three lorries and vans, one of which is a " Cherry Picker " they've dug up the pavement and are replacing the Street Lighting Posts, one of which is only a few metres from my front drive. They switched to LED a year or so ago, by capping the existing concrete lighting poles with a metal sheath with the LED lighting unit on the top. They're now putting in a more slender metal pole, and at the same time moving the light from kerbside to the back of the pavement. ( the cynic in me suspects that they're doing this not to help with mobility scooters / prams / Buggies, but to make it more convenient for motorists to park their cars on the pavement )
Off to fetch our Granddaughter from School and bring her back home on the bus. Will the excitement never end?

Take care folks 🚌

Having to use my previous default browser to reply to anything.

Don't you lot start having a go a Fray Bentos pies (see other thread), at least it's food you can eat, well drink as there's not so much meat in them nowadays, unlike inedible Marmite.
