The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all.
Wordle in 6,
A lovely sunny start to the day here.
Daisy, the dirty stop out cat has pulled another all nighter, and has not arrived back yet.
A domestics and sports on the telly day today.
Milan San Remo, Rugby, FA cup football later.
Firstly though, dog walking, in the sunshine, then Sainsbury's are delivering between 1 and 2 pm.
There must be time there somewhere for a quick whizz round on the bike
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all

Grass cutting and gardening today.
Got to pop down to Tesco to pick a few things up.
Looks like doggie's staying in bed today. Distinct lack of enthusiasm. At one time I'd only have to mention the words 'beach' or 'ball' and she'd be bouncing off the walls like a maniac. Now I can rattle the car keys and shout the magic words and I'll get a raised eyebrow if I'm lucky. I suppose old age gets us all in the end.

Just put your finger on it and wiggle it about!

You're beginning to sound like MrsD

We're missing someone, fella from Leicestershire not far from me who's name I can't remember for some reason.

Morning. here but out the door just after 6 for a 7.2 mile walk. It was gorgeous and peaceful but the mist came down towards the end. It will burn off again soon I think then be a lovely day. No doubt busy later.

Well that was an expensive and messy cock up.
Did the Aldi dash at 0800.
Unpacked and put a bottle of Cognac on the work top. Misjudged and knocked it off. Glass and Cognac ever where.
I am trying to suck soak the Cognac up. Then I will brush the glass up.
then I will mop the floor
and then I will cry.... I mean really cry.

Morning all... Wordle done in 5 this morning.

Today is the start of my new diet, I had a blood test last week got the results text to me yesterday apparently I'm borderline diabetic. Must cut down on portion sizes which will be difficult as this evening we're visiting friends of ours who we haven't seen since the pandemic and they love their food.

Enjoy your day folks!

Use a clean cloth and wring it out. That Aldi cognac is great value.

Embarrassing moment avoided. My friend whose birthday we are celebrating next week loves a glass of whisky. I have bought a bottle of Laphroaig to take with us. For some reason I decided to open the box............

............the security tag is still attached. Thought I heard a noise at the Tesco exit. Now where are my pliers.

Upon a closer inspection, you will notice that it's a helical wind on the wire. Twist the wire to release rather than try cutting it. A lot easier.

I just gave away a bottle of laphroaig SELECT. Someone gave it to me but it is really awful stuff.....like TCP.
