The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Nipped to Aldi at 0800 as they had some large bird feeders on special offer.
So tell me......its a BIG car park. I parked in a space giving me an easy exit. When I came out there was a car parked each side of me.
A quick check.......just 11 cars in total. So why did they BOTH choose to park next to me

When I go shopping even if there are loads of spaces available, I always seem to attract the biggest vans, trucks, campervans etc Parking right next to me. I have no idea why

Wondered what the postie was bringing me in a box but forgot I ordered a few bottles of Floradix liquid iron. I take it off and on and think it gives me a boost. It's quite pleasant to take too.

Right, off to the shop now.

About 3 weeks ago I parked with spaces either side (2 to my left).
By the time I got out and tried to go to my left side for a bad Luton van reversed next to me.....so close I couldn't open the door.
I went to the driver and asked "what are you playing at"?.
He looked, said nothing and drove forward to reverse into the next space.

Not much bought but I have treated myself to a pack of 2 Aberdeen Angus beef burgers. I don't eat a lot of red meat, but like it to be decent when I do.

Not sure another shower is that far away.

Well, they do only have 1 brain cell

Well, back prematurely from my walk. I was ambling along one of the quiet side roads and listening to an audiobook on my wireless earpods. I'd left home wearing a buff around my neck as I wasn't sure what the weather was like. I started to feel a bit too warm so decided to remove my buff and as I pulled it up over my head I realised too late that I'd dislodged my earpods. One was lying in the ground at my feet, the other wasn't in sight. I spent a good five minutes scanning the ground, all to no avail. Perhaps it had flicked up and landed in the hedge, in the garden I was passing? I finally gave up and continued on my way, listening to my audiobook on one earpod. I'd got several metres when the signal started to break up, the bluetooth receiver must have been in the missing pod. ( I have the remaining one from a pair that Mrs Tenkaykev lost one of, that still works with the remaining pod )
At least although a very good pair of ear pods ( Anker ), they weren't very expensive.

It’s alway happens , for years and year when I worked at Peugeot I had a series of lease cars and we had to pay for every little scratch or dink or dent when they went back . So after a few times of being hit with shopping trolleys, I started parking as far away from the store as I could ( it drove my better half up the wall 😀) AND still when you came out of the store they would a car parked next to you, normally it was the type of car that had a dent on every panel too 😂😂😀

My Galaxy buds have it. They emit a loud beeping sound to locate it.

Cars back from the garage and my wallet is a tad lighter, service, regas and MOT, I'm slightly annoyed, it initially failed the MOT as there was a bulb out, they changed the bulb and then passed it, I'd checked the bulbs about a week before the MOT and all was well. Its been a lovely day, I got three loads of washing done and one load dried, and we had lunch at the Cosy Cafe.

Unfortunately not Paulus. Though in my research I notice that you can get a lanyard that connects your wireless ear buds together so you don't lose one. 😮
So why not just purchase a pair of linked ear buds with the controls on the cord.? ( I suppose the next development will be some sort of cable that connects to the earbuds and has some sort of connector on the other end that connects to a corresponding port on the phone and supplies power and data 🤔😉

They like the smell of your aftershave?

You are a natural leader, and others follow?
