The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Its a knack 😆

Not a soup!

This afternoon we had three Magpies chasing each other round our back garden, they were making a lot of noise

We have a tree at the end of our garden which is festooned with various bird feeders. Result is the attraction of mostly Collared Doves, Starlings, Wood Pigeons and some Magpies.
The flippin' racket some days, I can hardly hear my audio book - !

Listening to Kid Jensen on the radio. Only the retirees will know who I’m talking about 🤣

Collecting a large sourdough loaf from our local baker the morn and maybe a cake or three. As I'm celebrating the start of retirement by camping at the coast for a few days, at least the GLW will be happy with what I don't scoff and leave for her - !

We have enough bread leftover for have sandwiches or maybe tom soup with it

Ii have been reduced to watching Harry potter as there is bugger all else on.

The only thing I've watched tonight is Tuesday's Chelsea Flower Show.

Sort of have that issue as well. We have Amazon Prime and Netflix, but rarely find anything worth the watch apart from maybe something I've already seen. The number of 'continue watching' I have is mounting up because I'll look at something 'promising' and if it hasn't caught my attention within half an hour, stop button time - !

I see Netflix we ‘cracking down’ on password sharing….https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/may/23/netflix-crackdown-on-password-sharing-reaches-the-uk
Might lose our household if they do….’the kids’ have broadly sprung the nest, but we continue to share our account (& Amazon/Disney).
If they get serious about this clamp down, we will collectively wave them bye bye 🤷‍♂️

Night night everyone.

Morning all.
Woke and was up at 0520. Listening to Tony B now with SoTS.
Few small jobs to do ie empty dishwasher, wash a few glasses and mugs.
Think I might put a loaf on though that may have to wait as I am planning meals out.

We may get rid of it but not because of that, we don't use it all the time so £16 foe nothing isn't a good deal.

I thknkid you want to add people it will only cost a couple of pounds. I daresay they will lose a lot of customers at first, then it will pick up again like it has in other countries.

Coooooeee. 7 deg and lots of sunshine here as well.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Getting all edgy now. Isle of Man TT practice starts today!
Even though it's 24 years since I last raced on the Mountain course, I still get very excited/interested/nervous about the event.
Don't supposed I'll ever get over it.

Good morning folks.

Good day. Blue and white skies here. Today we leave Arran and I'm sorry to do so. It's a wonderful island, Lamlash is a friendly village, I think we will be back.

Time to pack and tidy round as we have to be out by 10.00. We're booked on the 13.55 ferry but there's one at 11.05 I'm hoping to get on. Mrs P says if it's full "we" can go shopping! Have you seen the size of Brodick?

Interesting views on Netflix as I find lots which I enjoy. We only pay £7.99 so surprised by WD's £16. I agree about Amazon Prime though, we have it for delivery, but every time I want to watch something I find it's a chargeable programme rather than free or included.
