The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Isn’t it the close season

Ha ha - not today. There are multiple closed seasons - round here we call them 'weekends' and 'Bank Holidays'!

Hot news.
I am picking up my new car on Friday at 2.30 pm, just in time for our weekend away in Yorkshire the day after. My wife's sister has just come over from Australia and we are meeting with her then. 🍾

Whereabouts in Yorkshire are you going?

(You have probably already told us but I have forgotten!)

Beaver curry is nice, bit like chicken, but a little otter

I seem to have joined the end of a conversation, the mind boggles.......................I'll have a look further up the thread.........

I'll apologize in advance for any wet weather over the next few days, we're having the outside of the house painted and some minor repairs done, we've probably given the local gossips something to talk about, the front of the house is covered in scaffolding. The morning turned out to be a bit busy, two friends round plus the Stepson, all checking up on how my Good Lady is.

Broadband is down across the village. Mass panic on FB.

"We haven't got any Internet."
"Is it just us"
"No we're down as well"

Oh the world we live in.

@ColinJ your Morris dancers clue was a doddle, took about 30 seconds but then word and letter patterns is something I just see. I have no explanation for it.

Chester I have thought about but other than "Chest" plus "er" I can't get it. My only thought, Google is my friend, is an ecclesiastical "see" and Chester is a cathedral city

I am normally good at those too, but for some reason I just didn't spot that one! Maybe it is that I am not sleeping well, so my mind is not as alert as usual!

Ah, that could be it - thanks!

Morning. Been wet overnight but dry now. Breezy though.

I’ll have a browse and finish my decaf coffee then head out for a walk then driving up to Aberfeldy to spend a few hours with my old neighbours. No doubt another walk and lunch out somewhere. It’ll give the car a run as I barely use it these days.

Another day has dawned (I think).
We has steady rain which is on for the day.

Failed at Wordle yesterday as I didn't realise gecko was spelled like that.

It's our cabaret lunch today. TBH it gets way too busy for me (I like quieter surroundings) but MrsD enjoys it and it gets her out.

Blimey!!....wordle in 2 today. Not done that before
