The Retirement Thread

[Binky]

Morning.
Overcast! Dry but signs of something stirring up above and I don't mean the wife.
Cut the grass on the agenda for today if it stays dry, definitely next day or so before it does rain.
Towels day so again assuming dry they'll be washed and put out.
Possibly an easy ride later.

Technically it is supposed to be dry today

so I will cut the lawn - at least the back -- before it starts raining and it gets all enthusiastic

before that I have to visit Age COncern and show them my DBS check document so I can volunteer for them

and I need to go back to St Helens Hospital to pick up a prescription for SWMBO

AND - my gluten free bread is supposed to arrive to day - only 6 weeks late
although this is about the 4th or 5th absolutely certain date that it WILL arrive

si I'm not betting on it

might even get a bike ride fitted in somewhere!

It's trying to rain, a few spots here and there.

"In my experience everything becomes invisible when you are coming home from the pub after helping out the local landlord with his overstocking problem" thanks E for giving me a good laugh in the morning

Music practice done.

Tummy still feels a bit iffy so a light and bland lunch of crackers for me.

The water company bosses say "thank you"

Morning afternoon not very warm today and damp out too, have we had our summer ?

I see the government are reconsidering the winter fuel payment. Amazing what a few local elections can do.

For those who do become eligible, so not everybody will get it

I think you'll have to be on pension credits and the like, well good luck to them
I'd like to tell them where to stuff it, but being cold it no fun.

Yes, I won’t get my hopes up. Doubt I will qualify.

 

[Drago]

No sign of this rain.

The Met office are a bunch of lying bar stewards. I shall write a strongly worded telegram to Michael Fish.

Doubt if we will - when we get old enough

but then I don;t think we should - so that's kinda OK

Turned out to be the 37%......
No rain ☂️
My butt is parched!
