The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Go without, or wait for the repeats.
Or, maybe we were our and about and didn't watch the telly so much. Other things to do.

We always waited for the repeats. Then the repeats of the repeats.

Little walk done. It's warm now. That's me done so I'll stick the pjs on and try and cool down a bit. There's a soppy doggy film on BBC1 at 3.50 that I think I'll watch 🐶

A familiar story at our age.
I can still touch my toes, and at times get my palms flat on the floor, but that is only because I do stretching exercises to try and keep a bit flexible.

I do a yoga class once a week, mostly stretches, it slows down the deterioration.

Was reading this travel blog, got to the text after the photograph of 'Les Marronniers' and thought of an old post of yours

Good day world. How are we? I've been awake for hours, sleeping for more than 5 hours is getting harder by the day. Tonight I will try to go to bed later. Mrs P is away and I'm having a doing day, blitz the housework, clean car, clean bikes, household admin etc. I'm in a "lets get everything done" sort of mood. I may well be knackered by mid-afternoon. Two loads washed and on the line, general tidying done, I'd get the hoover out but decided the neighbours might complain at 6.50am.

'Tis Mrs P's birthday in a week or so. Her being away for the weekend is perfect timing. Her present is going to be a pot grown bamboo. I know, I hear you say it, what a man, he knows how to woo a woman. In my defence. We have a very large clump of 6 foot tall bamboo growing on the allotment. Enough to feed a small family of pandas. Twice as requested I have dug some up, potted it and waited for it to die. I knew this would happen, bamboo is notoriously difficult to transplant. Mrs P wants a tall potted bamboo in the backyard and I spotted some good ones at a local garden centre. Getting a bamboo home, hidden at the top of a friend's garden and all undetected would be tricky so Mrs P's absence is very timely. God knows how I'll wrap it up!!!!

Off to do some more chores. Catch you all later.

PS.....we got beat again. Not mentioning football other than 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 @Dave7

It's Mrs P's Birthday next Friday.I have noticed little hints around the front room.Magazines open with photos of jeans,magazines with walking jackets,magazines with hiking boots,magazines with cameras.So I now know what to buy her,a magazine rack.

Yep, me too.

Took the grandchildren to Poole Park. Loads of fun for them at the recently refurbished play area. We went for lunch afterwards and I saw this as we walked back towards the Bus Station.
Seems like a great idea 😎

I've been making flapjack. My bunch of pedalling pensioners have decided we will support a few favourite cafes from now on, meaning we will still buy food. Everywhere else it will only be coffee.

Going rate up here for flapjack is £2.75 - £3.25. This little lot represents a saving of +/-£25!

I have done a lot of housework, a small Aldi run and been to a garden centre. I think 5.30 will be G&T time.

Being able to do that whilst sat on the floor shouldn't count.

An oldie but a goldie, lol!.


All the organs of the body were having a meeting,
Trying to decide who was the one in charge.
"I should be in charge," said the brain, "Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the blood, "Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach," Because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."
"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes."
I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum
And insulted him,
So in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache,
The stomach was bloated,
The legs got wobbly,
The eyes got watery,
And the blood was toxic..
They all decided that the rectum should be the boss
.
The Moral of the story?
Even though the others do all the work...
An Arse Hole is usually in charge😝

No one else daft enough to be up yet ?
I made an error yesterday. I got very tired early evening and instead of dozing in a chair I went to bed.........been awake since 0330.
My Bro and SiL coming this afternoon. The Chinese takeaway is open so that is what is on the menu.

Good morning, looks like we have a decent day ahead. Mrs P is away until around 10.00pm so I shall spend the day doing as I please. Initially this means a bike ride but where to I'm not sure. The bunch I'm out with today always look to others to come up with a route. I did this last night only to discover the proposed cafe is closed today. Bugger. Need to come up with another plan.

I have my thinking cap on while I have breakfast..................later I will put my cycling cap, on!
