The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning people, grandsons first Xmas this year, we had a couple of suggestions for Xmas presents off our son yesterday so my most important job today is to drive over to a nearby toy store and pick them up. On the carer front we have now requested that they move my Good Lady back to the early visit she was on before, they have now told us we are a low priority and they can't guarantee they'll get to us at the stated time.

Good morning folks,
Just been out to put our wheely bin upright after last nights high winds. There was a mild south westerly with a bit of rain but when I got back inside it turned into a fierce squall. The chap from round the corner is pretty hard core, I watched him go past on his morning commute, full yellow waterproofs and riding his electric scooter ⚡️⚡️🛴⚡️⚡️
Off to Weymouth today for our “ second Tuesday “ meet up 🍺🍺🍺
Have a peaceful day folks 👍☕️💨

Morning all

Got to run MrsD down to the hairdressers at 10am and then off to Tesco afterwards.
Hoping for some house move news this week.

Morning again. I suddenly decided to go for a bimble. First for over a month. The roads were waterlogged and muddy and the traffic seemed heavier than ever but I stuck the chest strap on and stuck the heart rate screen on and didn't even look at my speed. Max heart rate of 119 and average 99 so thought I might be in single figures for speed but pleasantly surprised to see it was 10.8 so happy enough given the conditions and heavy bike. Only 17 miles mind you.

LAst night I loaded up the car with some coffee tables that have apparently become surplus to requirements

took them to the charity shop this morning

I use on that I can park right next to without any problems - most are on the high street and getting donation to them is a right pain unless it will fit in a single bag.
It is a proper charity shop and the people there are really nice
Problem is that it is a charity for people with a variety of skin problems - and every time I donate stuff there I start itching!!!

Morning all

Dropped into our estate agents yesterday for an update. Seems that we are almost there, just waiting on a couple of minor details. They said they'd contact us today. So, hopefully, we may have a completion date.
Fingers crossed.

Good morning folks, it looks a bit drier and calmer this morning, might be able to get some washing out.

A great afternoon in Weymouth. The train was delayed so we were ready for that first pint. Very blowy along the seafront but the rain held off. Next month’s outing will be Poole old town 🍺🍺
