The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Just had a guy at the door offering to trim my bush!

If he topped a small tree plus trimmed three shrubs £270 or £170 just to trim the shrubs. I told him to jog on. Maybe I'm out of touch with costs, but that seemed too dear to me. I'll just try and tidy them myself a bit at a time.

Sounds ridiculously expensive to me......reckon I could catch the train up, trim everything and go home for less.

Now let's be clear on this, no misunderstandings, you're offering to catch the train up and do the work.

Will you require board and lodgings?

Good morning all, house work this morning, out to lunch and then down the club this afternoon, my Brother In law is calling the bingo, listen for the cries of fix if one of us wins.

Morning all

Weather's improving and we've decided to stay on this site for another few days. Had initially planned to go home on Friday, but we're now going on Monday.
Off over the moor today sightseeing.

Heading back oop North after another nice week in Devon. Must start leaving more clothes, bike spares etc here. Carting too much stuff up and down the country!

Looks like a 5-carriage train will be put on today. Let's hope it will be less crowded than the one I caught to get down here!

One for @classic33
My strange dream last night.......really strange.
I was talking to a guy I have not actually seen in 30 years. He showed me a jar of blackcurrant jam.
The jam was 17 years old. It had been opened and partly used.
Then his daughter was born and he had decided to keep it as a memory/tribute to her.
The jam btw was moldy.
Then the dream ended.
