The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

That just reminded me. When we were out walking this morning we saw a guy on a unicycle.

It’s heavy rain here now.

So - clearly - people riding Unicycles causes rain??

possibly only if it is a man - but that is unclear

It is with much regret that i am writing to you today.Recent events have made me make this sad decision.I am leaving CycleChat,the Retirement Section.Early this year i undertook a new part time position as a care giver.I recently returned home from a holiday in Portugal.Today overwhelmed with the catch up of work not completed whilst being away,it has come to my attention i am no longer retired.A quick walk around the garden this morning has revealed an abundance of weeds that need removing.The interior of the house has a slight film of dust on surfaces,a large quantity of washing up this morning ,has made me rethink my position in the retirement team.,also an amount of dried washing has been found in the tumble dryer,this is after spending over two hours with a hot iron yesterday ironing holiday clothes and clothes worn by my father in law in the care home.Today Sunday due to an unexpected workload i have not gone to church,i am not able to do everything without blowing my top. so i have come to a decision i am no longer retired.I will of course keep in touch via other sections of CC,but sadly not retirement postings ,it has been wonderful and i hope to be back,before the grim reaper turns his page and my name appears on his list.It does not help ones attitude that one has a crappy throat,due to changes in temperature and weather conditions and being with many people on a coach and plane.I remain your humble servant Postman.

Cue plaintive violin music.

I worked (in a US tech company!) with a guy who had a former life building unicycles!
Was pretty good a juggling too….
He brought one into the office so we could have a go….iI even borrowed it for a few weeks. Never did master it!

Might be correct. I have my fleecy throw over my legs this morning.

Cooooeee. What a night. Heavy rain and high winds. Iys a bit dangerous as the trees still have all their leaves on so they could topple over with the winds. I have no doubt some roads here will have fallen trees. 13 deg though so not to bad temp wise.

Stay safe peeps

I have just seen one the local Facebook page that Indeed there is a fallen tree across the road not far from here.

A good day to all.
It's not clear as to what my day will bring.
Window Geeks are supposed to be coming to sort all the dodgy locks out but haven't messaged to confirm what time as promised.
I need to get my missing tooth filling sorted but can't phone the dentist till W Geeks call (I need to be in the house).
etc etc.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A windy start to the day here.
We're off to Dorset today for a few days, a little place near Bridport called Eype. I hope it doesn't rain all week, but the forecast is not very good.
