The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Evening all , I hope everyone has had a good couple of days and Ernie has been smiling on you all.

We are away in Horning on the broads for a short break this week as it’s my 60th birthday today . I’ve had a lovely day not doing a lot , picnic on the pier at Cromer then coffee and cake. Then down to Horsey gap to look at baby seals. Tbh we just went to walk on the beach and were very surprised to see how busy it was and then realised it was because it’s the grey seals breeding season and there were lots of new pups on the beach .It was a lovely surprise.
We are just back from the local pub that’s all of 50 feet away 😂 where we have just had a terrific meal.
So all in all it’s been such a lovely day I nearly forgot I am sixty . 😂😂

We had crab fishcakes on Cromer pier. Now, I don't like crab but they were really nice.
Plus, it was a beautiful sunny day which helped.

Same here. I don’t think I could eat crab out of the shell but it’s nice in a fish cake.

Morning all. Was forced to get up at 0430 as my legs were aching so much. That is happening too much lately, I hope it clears up.

Bin day today....recycle and garden. I normally sort them the night before but the rain was too heavy.

Morning. And the rain has descended once again. Deep joy.

Happy birthday for yesterday @Exlaser2

Good morning folks,
Grey and wet at the moment, the trails are saturated so going off road on my runs/ walks is a bit of a meaner round the puddles. Mrs Tenkaykev is off to geordieland next week to visit the archives and do some more research. I’ve decided to do some much needed decorating, I have a strategy of sorts so hopefully Mrs TKK will be pleased when she returns, but not so pleased that I’ll be lumbering myself with more projects🤞
Time for coffee ☕️☕️👍

Morning all

Feeling a bit better this morning. Hopefully will be back to normal by tonight.
More packing of stuff today and waiting on a reply to an email I sent to my estate agents.

Good morning from a soggy Barnet.
It's been raining heavily all night, it woke us up a couple of times. It's due to keep raining for most of the day here.
I got up for a pee during the night, tried to turn the loo light on and the cord snapped
Looks like a domestics type of day today.

I do love fresh cooked crab. Sandwiches or just with salad.
