The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

I WISH TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT!!

I had to apply for a new passport - actually we both did - as the old one expires in May

Anyway - the new one arrived to today


NATURALLY I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new passport in its proper Blue colour and not the EU mandated (!!) red/purple atrocity

WELL!!!

It is just not right

basically it is a travesity

I clearly remember the old ones (hence posting on this thread) and I remember the colour

AND THIS IS NOT IT

not a proper adrk blue - as is correct - but pretty much black - in some lights there is almost a redish tinge


This is NOT what we all voted for
do they not realise this was by far the major reasons for 'the vote'

and now I have a black passport



HURUMPH!!!

anyone got an email address for that nice bloke who led the Leave campaign
Nigel somethingorotther I think it was?????



(NOTE - post may include sarcasm and irony and downright lies for humorous effect
lets not get all NACA and post anything political)
(Note 2 - above use of the word "humorous" in the above sentence may be open to discussion!)

Point of order: The Burgundy colour of the Passport was never mandated by the EU, it was recommended, but not compulsory ( Croatia has a Blue Passport )

Same here, I usually end up on my back trying to get my shoes and socks on, doing the yoga class every week helps but not a lot, some of the people in the class are amazingly flexible, and they're not youngsters either.

Doubt that would work for me.I need to change my socks and shoes daily.

Don’t want some stranger doing that for me while they perform the downward dog😏😏😏

Carryover from last year, not all reservoirs were refilled to normal levels.

Morning. Chance of showers this morning but brighter this afternoon. Much milder though. Daylight has appeared already so I’ll head out soon.

Good morning Mo and others.
Does seem milder, which suits me.
Was just not up to an Aldi dash yesterday but am much better today so will head off there for 0800.

Morning all

Yay! Tis Fish Friday
Got stuff to do this morning, then we'll have a walk down to town.
We've decided to have a weekend off from unpacking and just relax a bit. Living room and kitchen are pretty much sorted now. Just got the utility, guest bedrooms, dining room, garage & workshop to sort out now. Doing a bit every day and hopefully we'll be normalised in a month, or so.
Our mates bought us a lovely Leo Davey picture of Oyster Catchers which I've hung over the fireplace.

The West Somerset Railway starts running again tomorrow, so we are meeting our Minehead mates aboard the first steam train through to Bishops Lydeard for a quick stop at the Quantock Brewery.
Sunday lunch booked at the White Horse.

The sun is out now. And it's really quite warm outside.

I can see lots of bunnies running around the field.
