The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Nice one, good result.
I once had a job and the company relocated to Wakefield so, twice a week I had to travel SEVENTY MILES to the office ie 140 miles per day......a right royal pain in the ar*e that was.

My last 3 years 'on the road' (retail Regional Director) I covered 168000 miles in 2 years & 11 months.

Killed every last vestige of my love of driving.

Airforce One will likely be flying over Hamtun soon.. I might go out in the garden and wave a cheery welcome 👋

Let's hope it doesn't fly too low or someone will steal the wheels.

I wonder if they had to pay excess charges because of its weight.

Good evening all.
A good walk was had from Eype across the cliffs on the SW coastal path to West Bay in Dorset. It was only a 5 mile round trip but the path was steep in places.
Millie, our old Collie loved it, she was almost young again trotting along .
This view is looking back towards Lyme Regis from the top of cliff.

I am stuffed. Enjoyed my meal out.

I had the steak pie, veg and chips followed by Biscoff cheesecake and ice cream.

Had a kebab for dinner to celebrate.

And me and Bruce booked to go away in the van together to Bakewell last week of October. Just me, my dawg, my van, and my debit card! Doesnt matter how cold it may be with Webasto to keep us warm.

Morning folks steaming into my garden project this morning, removing stones edging my paths and replacing with planks-should look neater and hold the gravel securely. I asked the guy at the sawmill if he had a large tree trunk i could use to perch my bird bath on which he did, it weighs a ton and will have to roll it to get it into the garden.
Im glad the indoor spider season is coming to the end, *****y things make me jump!

I have risen! Chucking it down here.

Morning. Bit of a long lie for me. My bed was nice and cosy.

Rain this morning, but I’ll stick the waterproofs on and get out soon.
