The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

@Drago..
There's a few bass riffs in this for you to practice... 👍 😎

That's a coincidence. By chance I found this lady on YouTube last night. I've never heard of her before, hopefully I'll find her on tour somewhere local.

No, I think it's just to confuse the rest of us with a collection of random letters

Hardly random.. 👍

 

[PaulSB]

Why didn't any of you retirees warn me about this.

That brings a whole new perspective to doing the crossword. I'll give that a go tomorrow.

She's very good, isn't she! 🎸

You can either decode or leave me to wrangle with this all day..............

 

[Drago]

She's good alright. I cant sing for toffee. A few backing vocals oooos and doowops is my limit.

Morning all
My first post-retirement Monday!

Congrats!
Pretty soon you’ll blend in with the rest here, having no idea what day of the week it is 🤪

First day of Autumn.. ❄️

 

[PaulSB]

Good Morning. Currently bright and breezy but depending on your weather forecast of choice there is a 90% chance of anything from light rain to thundery showers to heavy rain until 13.00. The only certainty is a 15mph wind from the south, this usually equals a head wind. So decisions. Decisions. To cycle or not that is the question?

There is a Plan B. I will be buying a new Cervelo or Pinarello for next spring. There is a combined bike shop and cycling cafe in Harrogate that stocks both Cervelo and Pinarello. They have built up examples of the range, but not model, I'm interested in. So the debate with my buddy is do we risk getting soaked or head to Harrogate to browse bikes and drink coffee..............................surely life was simpler when all I had to do was go to work?? 🤔🤔🤣🤣

Today I shall reassemble the close coupled cistern, in the en-suite, with its new valve and siphon.

Took me all flippin’ afternoon yesterday to disassemble and unmount from the wall. I mean, who uses mild steel screws with no wall plugs? I had to use a Dremel to get the rusted, broken, screw out without cracking the cistern 🤬

Morning all

Bit autumnal out there today.
Off to Minehead Tesco for some shopping this morning.

Morning. We are in for a day of showers and quite windy. It’s off at the moment so I might squeeze in a walk before the next shower.

And make it a decent one for a change, none of this pathetic 9 mile rubbish.

Morning.
Autumn has arrived, literally and well literally.
Damp, overcast but I'm hoping it will brighten so washing can go out and me can go out on bike.
