The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all.
Weird this morning, woke for a 'P' at 0415 and it was pitch black. Only seems like last week that it was light at that time.
Got back to sleep but woke with a start, convinced I had to go to w*rk......took me a good while to realise it really was a dream.

Morning all

Another sunny day here in Worzelshire.
All of our mates are coming over this afternoon for a BBQ - should be fun.
Tomorrow, we should all be going to the Dunster show but the weather is looking iffy. Might have to have a plan B.

That's not a dream.....it's a nightmare!

Yet another overcast but humid day here. I hate it as I have even less energy than usual. Just the riverside trail this morning.

I might have parcels coming today. Yet more shoes and a t shirt to add to the collection!

I was going to say that but you beat me to it

Morning folks did my 30 miler yesterday on my perfectly functioning Dawes yay i like the occasional cryptic crossword but cryptic bike repair problems give me grey hairs and shorten my life expectancy! No posty staggering under the load of parcels for me today! mind you i did buy something exciting recently....a dustbin! it was cheaper to have one posted than buy locally at the corner shop! Took a pic of the osprey off the river mouth, it was a bit far off for a decent pic but its recognisable.

Good morning all.
A cloudy start to the day here.
The washing machine is doing its stuff. I will be out with the dog soon, and I think I'll stop at the cafe on the way home for a bacon sandwich and a mug of tea.
I've finished all the books I was reading, so I'll pedal up to the high road and trawl the charity shops for some reading material.
That's this morning sorted.

On a more serious subject......I have put the black bin out!!! 😀😀
Into the bin went some frozen food that is waaaay past its use by date. I don't normally worry but this is fish and so far gone that I couldn't take the chance.

If it was frozen from fresh it would be ok, as long as it was defrosted and eaten on the same day.
Academic now though.

Morning

 

[welsh dragon]

I see Michael Parkinson has passed away.

Got up this morning half asleep with all my quilt in a heap .........and found the shower rail not sitting right I give it a wiggle and the screw at the bottom had rusted out, that now is sorted.
Cooking time again lasagna and bolognese.

My Hospital visit turned in to a bit of a Trek. Stayed with my friend for a couple of hours trying to sort out his IT issues ( Fire Tablet BBC iPlayer thinks it's outside the UK ) The bus from the Hospital into Poole takes about an Hour, when I got to the Bus Station I had 3/4 of aan hour wait for the bus home so I headed to the George for a Pint instead of hanging around the Bus Station with its myriad of "colourful characters"
Too tired to eat so I had an early night. Just been for a run with Mrs Tenkaykev which was enjoyable but muggy. Shower, a bit of lunch, then I'll head off to the Hospital again.
