The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Some in the fridge or freezer for "emergency use".

Why'd you buy so many?

All locked up securely in my en-suite cupboard.

 

[welsh dragon]

I've only got 110 toilet rolls left.*
Do yet think I need to stock up?

*Seriously

I would, just to be on the safe side.

The piece in the link is for a tiny place near the west coast of Wales, about halfway down.

Still only the 21st up here.

Morning all. Been up since 0430.
Just lying there awake so up I got.

 

[Mo1959]

I’m up too. Maybe should have just got up earlier when I was first awake as there’s showers due soon.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Didn't sleep well, this cold is making life awkward. Will try and get everything done this morning and will sleep this avo.

Mrs Tkk ordered some Toilet Rolls, kitchen rolls and boxes of tissues from a local eco company that makes them. She misjudged the quantity so we have toilet rolls stashed everywhere.

Good morning all.
It's still raining here.

You'll be laughing if there's an escape of a genetically modified dysentery virus from a Chinese lab.

Cooooeeee. 9 deg here and it's hissing down and very very windy. We have had this for 2 days now.

And it's the shortest day of the year today. Great.

it will be another pottering day for me.

Stay safe peeps

Yay - tis that there Fish Friday again!
Bit blowy last night.
Got mates coming round at 12.00 and then we're walking down to the harbour for fish & chips anddrinkies in Pebbles.

Good morning from a tropical Poole ( 11 degrees). A tad blowy but not too bad. Nothing planned yet apart from popping around the corner to the local shop to pick up some wine 🍷
It's a sort of Safeway/ Morrisons version of a Tesco Express so has a limited selection, but surprisingly some decent stuff at a price that matches the larger stores.

We've got one of them up the High Street. Used to be an R S McColl but Morrisons took it over a few months ago.

Riverside trail done with just a few little spits and spots of rain. Still really mild. It's good being able to turn the heating down a bit. Might save a few pennies. Not that I will see any benefit until Ovo get my account sorted out, so maybe in a couple of years time! 😡
