The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning, Mrs Tenkaykev was up late putting the finishing touches to her assignment which has to be in by noon. Good news on the tax demand on her brother's estate, that has been rescinded. I've noticed that the nine weeks of comparative inactivity following my arm break has seen my normal resting heart rate gradually creeping up to 49, hopefully bring that back down now I'm running again.
Have a splendid day folks ☀️👍

Morning folks im looking forward to my bike being fixed and in star trek speak all systems functioning within normal parameters spinning my rear wheel it doesnt sound very healthy with a small amount lateral rock so might be a bearing. Anyhow its sunny out so will go for a spin avoiding top gear and wont go too far in case im walking home!

Good morning all,
A sunny start to the day here.
Dog walking, out on the bike for a while, then some grass cutting if it dries sufficiently to be cut.

This boils my pish...

I knew this guy when I was in the job. Never worked  with him but we were on the same rota for some years so we'd see each other around a lot and we'd chat on first name terms. I never had an inkling.

I now know whats gone on in full but shan't say more on that front as I know one of the victims. Suffice to say three police forces where HR types haven't done their job properly allowed this piece of utter bellendery to work there.

Aside from being increasingly ashamed to have ever been a copper, I despair at rhe level of civilian f kwittedness that allows this sort of thing to go on.

When I joined in '91 (January 21st!) the police visited me at home, visited all my references, visited past employers, visited friends and people I'd worked with in the past. If they still did that then this sort of bollards wouldn't be happening and making me very angry.

That's my morning rant done in 3,2,1, and...that's better.

Morning all

MrsD's taking me to Minehead this morning for a big monthly shop.
Lawns to cut when I get back.
Weather's looking good, so I'll be firing up the BBQ later.
My cousin and his missus are visiting us from @Drago 'Poshshire' next week, so we've got to make sure the guest accommodation is up to snuff and he's got somewhere to park his Jaguar iPace safely.

Hi, not much is happening here

Morning. Overcast and muggy here. 7 mile walk done and just about to have a bowl of granola for brekkie.

I think there's women's road racing this afternoon so might watch that if I don't fancy going back out.

Dental checkup in Perth at 12.45.

There seems to be more and more of that stuff going on and being reported.

It's blooming warm here.

It’s always gone on in a lot of different industry’s, it’s just not covered up so much now.

Anyway morning all , looks like a good couple of days and I aim to make the most of them .
You never know I might even go cycling . 😂😀

More geese flying over. Usually makes me think Autumn is not that far away.

Yep, I'll be surprised if anyone else makes it to 30 years at this rate.
