The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all.
The bin lorries have been down, MrsP hasgone to work, she just does some part time nursing, filling in when the regular nurse has time off.
I will be out with the dog when it gets light, then out for a bimble on the bike for some essentials from the local shops.

I may be the only one here that doesn't really like traditional mince pies. Aldi do a special for Christmas and they are to my taste......open topped and with almond flakes added.

I can't stand mince pies. Bleh

Cooooooeeeee. 6 deg for us.

Not much planned for today.

Stay safe peeps

Our mates stayed overnight. Good time had by all, plenty of wine drunk, world put to rights. Conversation ranged from political correctness on the TV, holidays, how fat people have sex and the sinking of the Tirpitz. Don't get much more eclectic than that!
Guess which topic had us all in stitches?
We're all off to Barnstaple this morning.

How can you laugh about the sinking of the Tirpitz???

 

[Dave7]

More like a tart then.

I suppose it is.
Suits me as I am not a great fan of pastry.......has to be thin for me.

Didn't say we did.

OK. How do fat people have sex?

Pishing down again as it has been through the night. Seems like we go to bed when its raining and get up to rain.
Paul.....I like your optomysm (spelling??) and hope you get your
swim ride in.

Misplaced optimism. 😩 I've just lit the stove. Grey, damp, breezy, cold. You cannot believe how p***** off I am with this weather. So much needs doing aside from bike riding and I can't get out to do it. GRRRRRRR. Plan to spend a bit of time looking round for a gym programme to help me shift a bit of weight over the next 4 -6 weeks.


EDIT @classic33 that's a programme for the next 4-6 weeks. I'm not spending 4-6 weeks looking around!!!!!

Bingo!
(The Tirpitz came a close second......)

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

absolutely "very tired" last night and went to bed early - about 11 instead of about 12

feel much better this morning

but looking out it is wet and very windy so a bike ride is probably not on

might start to sort out some stuff to go up into the loft instead!

I have managed to set fire to my vacuum cleaner for a second time. An ember from the fire made the dust bag and filter smoulder. Managed to get it outside and pulled both dust bag and filter from the vacuum. DOH

Maybe you should stop using a vacumn and go back to a brush and dustpan. It'll be safer.
