The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning,
Mrs Tenkaykev’s brother is poorly. Just sorting out the journey to Nottingham. He has two dogs and can’t put them in kennels as they’re full of Covid rejects 🥲

Coooooeeeee. Another mild but wooly night weather wise.

I see Vera is back on 15th Jan.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple at 11.00 to see the opticians.
Might have a mooch around the FW furniture store whilst we are in town.

Black (general waste) bin is now out 🙂.
The day is now my own (sort of). Dish washer needs emptying and lots of bitty stuff to sort out.
Breakfast is easy.....toast** but lunch is a bigger decision.
**I bought a Warburtons sliced loaf. It is so boring. Think I will try Hovis.

You never know, if you're really really lucky FW might have a sale on! 😮

I knew this would happen with all these idiots buying dogs when they were bored. The reality of how much work is involved plus the cost has obviously hit home.

Chilly walk done and just finished my porridge and banana.

It is very sad really and so upsetting for the dog. A dog will love you for the whole of his life which is more than can be said for humans.

A test of true love:
Lock your dog and your spouse in the boot of your car for a day.
Open the boot and see which one is happy to see you.

To add a little balance . Everyone in the exlaser house hold really really liked it , even our daughter who knew nothing about the story . Though tonight’s last episode was a little weaker than the other two . 😀

Would agree. Just watched episode 1 last night. Thought it was quite good, if a little worrying that such an inept individual can rise up the ranks so rapidly.

Rant of the day.... online banking and card readers.

Tried to send my granddaughter money for her birthday. First time transferring money to her. Had to use a shite card reader that locked me out of my account's and wouldn't let me do anything. Finally has to re register and make new passwords just to unlock my own accounts. Not only do I have to use the card reader, but they send a code to my mobile, then send an email both of which I have to verify just to transfer £40 bloody pounds. Its worse than Fort knox.

And it took me 40 minutes to put things right

Rant over

Be easier with a PayPal transfer?

I wandered round to the supermarket mainly as I am low on toilet roll. Lord knows what’s wrong with the Co-op now but they barely had any in stock. Just had to take a pack of 4. I normally buy at least a 9 pack to last a while.

it’s horrible out there now. A steady drizzle and very cold and raw. Doubt I’ll be back out.

It probably would be easier.

I might have a rant to nationwide as well about having to use an old fashioned card reader 😆

Back from a 5k jog with Mrs Tenkaykev and notice that the daffs are in full bloom! It's obvious that they've been out for a while so perhaps last months cold snap followed by the milder weather ( 13 today ) has encouraged them.
I'll pop back out later and take a photo just in case Thomas is a member of the forum 😉

Wow. I haven’t even seen a snowdrop let alone a daffodil. Far too cold up here. It’s about March before they appear.
