The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Yep. Time is flying by way too fast for my liking. As quiet and, no doubt some would consider boring, my life is, I enjoy it and hate the thought of advancing old age and what follows.

true, I often think, there has to be something good about getting old, but, somehow, a free bus pass and free prescriptions doesn't quite cut it

I think retirement is about slowing down and just chilling but still doing enough to keep life interesting.

We know a few retired couples who pack every day with stuff to do - they seem to be the ones that say time is going too fast.

I might possibly be talking rubbish but that's the view from this camp.

I don’t remember Muhammad having a 747 and a full security team though 😂😀😀

Amended in view of new information. It’s was TWO private jets and TWO full security teams . 😕

Looks like Pointless won’t be on as the Tory loving BBC have decided we should watch Liz Truss’s inaugural lies speech.

it was moved to BBC 2, my Good lady is a fan of the program.

I’ve watched an old Dalziel and Pascoe on the Drama channel. Enjoyed it and there was a good cast including a young Douglas Henchall.

Morning. I would say up with the Larks but they’re not up yet

Looks like being a murky, misty and muggy morning….nice bit of alliteration there, followed by an afternoon of thundery rain.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning from a bright and sunny Coventry.

Good morning folks,
A 3:30 am transfer to the back bedroom for some reading as I couldn’t settle. Up and on my second coffee now.

“ 🎶 all this talk of getting older, it’s bringing me down my friend…🎶
But we go on, smile, turn around and “ flick the V’s “ at the grim reaper and say “ not yet, you bugger “
Off for a run soon, I’ll use my impeccable sense of timing to dodge the rainstorms 😉
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍

Morning all

Got a day free of house viewings........unless the estate agents ring later.
Off for a stroll down to Tesco and lunch in the White Lion on the way back.

Good morning all.
'twas very dark at 0600 and decidedly cool.
I got up with plans for an Aldi dash then realised my car is in the garage. I pick it up around 1200 with a 450 quid hole in our bank account.
Very wet here .....obviously had lots of rain overnight.

Good morning all.
The sun is shining, for the time being.
I think it might be too bright too early though. More rain forecast for later.
I have a message from DPD. They are delivering my consignment of Belgium beer, from the Belgian beer company today, around 1pm.
I have some new brake blocks to fit onto my touring bike, plus all the usual things to do today.
Another busy day in paradise

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

Ah, one of the joys of getting older, misremembered lyrics 🎶 " I was sick and tired of everything, when i called you last night from Tesco's " 🎶 😁
