The Retirement Thread

This week.

Yes, I'll believe it when the cash hits my pension.

I’ve been walking with Mrs Tenkaykev. Noticeably slower and legs felt more tired after our bout of Covid last week but 11k was quite respectable. Popped in to the Deli in Wimborne and got some “ Black Bomber “ mature cheddar and a pack of Dorset Halloumi. Went via the bakers on our way to the bus stop and got a couple of cinnamon swirls which were fresh from the oven.
Back home now and I’ve scoffed my cinnamon swirl, plus the 100g of crystallised ginger that I bought.
Just need to stay awake.

Good morning People, dry and still here with rain forecast for later, not a lot to do today, I'm a bit knackered after yesterday's yoga and taking my Good Lady to lunch so I may treat today as a rest day.

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooooeoeeeeee. Well we were on the edge of the storm last night. Lightning and thunder. A quick whoosh of rain then it was gone.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Will finish clearing out my shed this morning. I think there's a dead rat in there, by the smell of it.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
We have heavy rain and thunder.
It might be a domestics type of day today, no bike riding this weather, although I do have to get to the local shops later on.
On another note, do we still have a functioning Government after last nights shinanigans we are more like a so called banana republic at the moment.

Now it's getting lighter, I can see that it's quite misty over the hills.

I think I would feel insulted if I was a Baboon.

I suspect Liz Truss won't be head baboon by later today.
