The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Fell asleep on the return train.
Good job MrsD have me a nudge just before Watchet, else I'd have slept through to Bishops Lydeard.

Ok, I know I've put on a few kg since breaking my arm in June resulted in a period of forced inactivity, but I thought the email that came today was quite hurtful 😉

I have risen! 1st!

Ironing day today.

Morning all🙂.
I am cold this morning......and shaking. Hope I am not 'coming down with something'.
A good heavy sleep last night.
Supposed to do an Aldi dash as my neighbour asked me to get some bits but I am just not in the mood.

Cooooeeee. We missed the worst of the weather last night. We are surrounded by hills here so that helps.

Stay safe peeps

A few slight gusts, some half hearted drizzle, and that was storm Anus done with.

Morning. Had a long lie. Quite nice lying in bed listening to the wind……..not mine!

Today’s excitement is having my hair cut at 10am.

Good morning folks, it got very wet and windy here last night, out to lunch later then we're down the club this afternoon, it hasn't been on for a few weeks so looking forward to that, I'll try and win a bit more than £3.50.

Morning all

So, the forecasters got it wrong again!
'Storm Agnes' turned out to be a bit of a damp squib around here considering that they were saying we were going to be in the firing line. Bunch of overpaid scaremongers!
Today I shall be clearing my back lawn of apples and acorns (I should really be keeping a pig, or two) and painting my front fence.

Good morning all.
It got a bit windy last night, but nothing else. It's very cloudy outside at the moment, but no rain is forecast.
All the usual things to do today, plus some more tidying up in the garden.

Morning

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I fear I have never done what was expected of me. I am a disappointment

My wife expects me to me a disappointment

I am smashing that one

I am also expected to be embarrassing - which I am getting better at as I get older!

And that's the danger. If these named storms become associated with damp squids no one will take any notice and the while naming malarkey will have been pointless.

Well, I made it to Aldi.
Rapidly going off that place. One week you buy an item that you enjoy. 2 weeks later you just cannot find the same product......if you can find an assistant (a BIG if) the response ranges between "couldn't give a sh*t" and really couldn't be arsed.
Think I will try Lidl and see how I get on.
