The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

A friend was an accountant all his working life. He noted that many of the youngsters entering the profession lacked a “feel” for the numbers, and if the calculator / computer gave a result they had no “ that can’t be right “ intuition.

Yes, I have noticed that, in the "youngsters"

The advantage of being born before Calculators and Computers, you had to use your head, let's face it, there has to be some advantage in being old!

Our (almost) five year old granddaughter had a sleepover last night ( I ended up in the spare room, how can such a little person take up so much space? ) We had mushy peas as a side dish, she was happily dipping her chunk of raw carrot into the mushy peas as though it were a dipping sauce. She's also partial to raw Broccoli stems, and likes honey and marmite on toast for breakfast. I can't understand where she gets it from...

It never ceased to amaze me just how much room a small human could take up In a bed. Gran and grandad relegated to hanging off the edge on either side of the bed.

Oh no. I remember my son finding his dad's Brut after shave stuff and dousing everything in it. I thought he was being a bit quiet on his own.

Our son found some liquid shoe polish when he was three. He ended up in A&E on a high. Luckily no lasting results.

Good morning fellow retirees,
A walk to Wimborne this morning, coffee and toothpaste are on offer in Waitrose according to my shopping app. I’ve entered a 10k race, it’s in two weeks time so I need to get my act together 🏃‍♂️
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️👍

Morning. Not long back an early spin. Lots of sun but quite nippy for the first half hour. Just over 31 miles done, which is good for me these days.

You should know quiet is very, very, very dangerous. Quiet is far from good.
