The Retirement Thread

Meeting Mrs tkk at the station this morning, she's currently on the Caledonian Sleeper from Edinburgh. Bus / walk from Kings X to Waterloo then train to Poole. I've got a couple of hours of tidying up before I head to the station 😁

I love the sleeper. Done a few journeys up to Edinburgh with my folder. A great way to travel.

Good morning from a dull and breezy Coventry.

Morning all

Windy and showery today.
Man's coming to clear our gutters at 0930.
I'm reorganising my garage and workshop this morning to make accessing the bikes easier.
Our best mates from Minehead are in Norway on the first day of a 2 week cruise. Lucky beggars!

Filthy weather here. Dark, heavy rain and lots of surface water.
Been a bit naughty as I found an unopened packet of Bombay mix so am munching on that.
My Bro and SiL are visiting later and we are out for a pub lunch. We have 2 'local' pubs which do decent meals......I might try gammon, egg and chips.

Very dull and windy here as well, I've noticed that my perennial sunflowers have been blown over, they had supports in but it didn't make much difference, it looks like I'll have to cut them back, which is a shame as they're in full bloom.

I've never been on a sleeper, the longest train trip for me was Southampton to Birmingham and only did that once

You could try the Aberdeen to Penzance train, over 13 hours and more than 700 miles with no changes. For some reason you can't do the return journey without changing trains.

Just heard that Mrs Tkk slept ok on the Sleeper train and is now on the Poole train. Time for a final check around.

Once did two nights on a sleeper. St Petersburg to Kiev. Let us say, an “interesting” experience.
