The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

Morning all from a damp Saundersfoot . We had a good day yesterday dodging the showers, didn’t get wet once and it’s warm too . Plus we had a lovely evening meal at a waterside pub which our daughter paid for ……… eventually lol. She went to pay , then realised she had left her card in the holiday accommodation so I paid and she bank transferred me the money later 😂😂😀.
It’s just come out sunny here but there are a lot more showers forecast for the next couple of days so wish us luck staying dry . 😀

Longer walk this morning as I did my riverside trail then decided to carry on and do the hill walk as well so just over 9 miles. Needing my porridge now.

We are expecting rain and hail later today. I have to pick Mr WD's tablets up from the quacks. I'll go before the hail and rain ⛈️

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.

Don’t know if you’re watched it The Capture is good.

Good day fellow retirees. After heavy rain at 6.00am it's now bright and a little breezy. Mrs P's birthday went well over the last 48 hours, I seem to have ticked all the boxes, last night we had five close friends and neighbours round for some bubbles.......................I was nearly late for this as when I took small person home the M65 was closed courtesy of a young man who passed me at 100+ mph before hitting another driver about 3-4 minutes later. Everyone was OK but his car looked totally trashed at the front.

One of my cycling buddies wife is working late today which means he can get home late, which means he wants a century ride. This is the pal who is returning from four months layoff. Heavy rain forecast at 2.00pm so we have designed a loop which should put us in the Preston/Leyland area so we can dash for home if necessary otherwise we will plough on to Southport before heading for home.

That's it I think. Time to water the tomatoes and

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 " 🎶 😁

I had to think about that one for a bit, it was Abba, Super Trooper, and the lady was calling from Glasgow.

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.

Owdo

You keep yer alliterations to yerssen. Who knows where they'd lead to, or cause.

If the sun refuse to shine
I don't mind, I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
let it be, it ain't me
Cos I got my own world to look through
And I ain't gonna copy you........

........I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die.
So let me live my life the way I want to.

My philosophy since I was 15.

Popped round for bread and milk and spotted this. Sounds quite tasty so bought a couple to try.

If 6 was 9 Jimi Hendrix.

White collared conservative flashing down the street,
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high.
Wave on, wave on.

I don't think I will be here much longer, so if I disappear blame the Mods

If it's any consolation, I agree with your comment........and I'm not sure I would be joking. Enough said before we all get banned!
