The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I’m even worse. Last ride was 21st November and have also put on a bit of lard

I watched Death in Paradise but it was only so so. Not keen on some of the new cast.

It’s gone all sparkly out there again.

Talking about 'lard' we watched Death in Paradise......1st time ever. Can't believe the state of Don Warrington or Les Dennis.

Watched Zulu on YouTube last week. I had forgotten what a great film it is.

We have that on DVD and plan to watch it again soon.
I am always careful to skip that part with nubile young semi nude dancers though.

Pitch black outside...... thought it was supposed to get lighter/earlier.

Of course. Don't know how old I was when I first saw the film, 11/12 maybe. Watching last week I was struck by how long the opening scenes focused on young women's breasts. For 1964 that was? What? I'm not quite sure other than it must've been meant to be of "interest."

Good morning folks, our lad goes back today, looking at his pile of presents I reckon he's going to need a porter, then we're entering that strange period between Xmas and New Year.

Cooooeeeeee. 6 deg here. We had rain last night and more to come today

I saw Die Hard 4 the other night. Thank god I didn't see Freaking Zulu.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
The bin lorries have come down the road this morning.
I've got a nice cold, runny nose and the cough that is doing the rounds at the moment.
I'm going to wrap up and get out on the bike later on and try to sweat it out .
Enjoy your day everyone

Morning. I lay in bed as long as my achy hips would allow.

It’s freezing and the roads and pavements are white and sparkly. There is also snow forecast soon. Not sure if I’ll have time for a quick walk before it arrive.

Morning all

Might do some stuff today...........then again, I might not.

Its another pottering/slobbing day for me.

Yeah, yeah, we believe you

That is what passed for "sex education" in the 1960s, as I recall

Just off to open up Youtube, for a bit of revision

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.

Back from my walk. Just the riverside trail as it’s dodgy underfoot. The snow started not long after I set off, just gently at first but it’s heavier now.

Porridge and banana time now.

From my Facebook page this morning.

Good morning. Wet, cold, dark, windy,.......

I've been up and about since 3.00am. What is this sleep thing? Knocked about on here. Various jobs done, ironing, tidying after Christmas etc. Finally headed up to the loft room for 90 minutes 💤💤 and feel much better for it.

#3 son bought us tickets to see Peter Kay in September 2024!!!!! Clearly he thinks I'll make it past 70 🤣👍

#2 son goes home this afternoon and like @dave r we enter the strange in-between period. Weather is shite for next few days so riding is off the agenda.

I have ceiling lights to fit next. This should be simple 🤔🤔🤔
