The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning from a sunny Barnet.
The washing machine is doing it's stuff, the dog is waiting to go out and I'm on my second mug of tea.
I'll be out on the bike later for a bimble to the local shops for some essentials.

I will do my washing tomorrow as its supposed to be nice and not supposed to rain. Yeah right 😆

Morning, 10:00 I have church, then later shopping

Church on a Tuesday??
Is that normal or a special occasion ?

It's something to do with a virgin today

Interesting.
Let me know if/when you find out what its called.
I won't be joining you, I'm just interested.
🙂

Bonjour from Orleans . We had a storm last night but all is clear now. Going to my brother's 60th surprise party at 12 where the wine will be flowing and the food will be plentiful.
I will need to ride my bike more often when I get back to return to my normal weight.

Breakfast?

Had a light workout yesterday. No grumbling from last week's painful left delt so I'll be at the iron with gusto later.

Is it a holy day of obligation?, one of my tasks since mrs @BoldonLad developed dementia is to remind her of such things, have I missed one?

Edit: oops, found it, the Assumption, will have to get Mrs B organised.

Google tells me it celebrates/commemorates the day one of the popes declared that the virgin Mary was actually taken to heaven in the flesh.

The assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Church and shopping has taken up most of the day, I wanted to go for a walk, but I don't feel like it now
It's 31.2c here.

Could be. I am a total non-believer, fulfilling my duties as human diary

Breakfast?

Yes, fried egg on toast and baked beans

One from Facebook today.

"Me Hat"
O’Toole stunned the priest one Sunday by showing up at mass for the first time in living memory. Afterward, the priest asked O’Toole what had made him finally come to mass.
O’Toole looked the priest in the eye and said, “Father, I cannot lie to you. I lost me good hat, and I know old Dunne has a hat just like it. I thought I’d leave mass early, and just take along old Dunne’s hat from the hat rack, sort of 'by mistake,' if you know what I mean.”
“But I see you’re still hatless,” said the priest. “What changed your mind, O’Toole?”
“Your sermon on the ten commandments, Father,” O’Toole replied.
“Ah,” said the priest. “So when you heard the commandment 'Thou shalt not steal,' you decided not to take Dunne’s hat for yourself.”
“Not exactly, Father,” said O’Toole. “When you mentioned the one about not committing adultery, I remembered where I left me hat.”
