The Retirement Thread

[PeteXXX]

Today's main chore is, with MrsPete in charge of the steamer, is to clean all the laminate floors in the bungalow; kitchen/diner, hall & bathroom..
I might have to ride over to t'other side of town to help with daughter resealing around the bath. This will depend on how confident she feels doing it after practicing on a bit of the sink that's out of sight.

Good morning,

Well this is going well, I have just tried to register with ITVx and it tells me that my post code and anyone of the random ones I have tried are invalid.

This isn't my post code, but it does get a tick

and https://www.whatsmyip.org says that I am in the Birmingham area.

So I have no opinion on anything on ITVx

Bye

Ian

Postcode input can vary from site to site.
Some you can copy & paste, some you can't. Some you can use auti-fill, some you can't. Some require a space, some don't. 🤷‍♂️

I knew it couldn't last. The heavens have opened again.

Got round the riverside trail in nothing more than a drizzle so at least I've been out if it gets heavier now.

Mostly walked with a little bit of jogging here and there. I'm too heavy to run seriously and just can't seem to stick to healthy eating for more than a couple of weeks before going off the rails again. My memories on Facebook from 6 years ago came up with pics of me with my neighbours on a walk and the jacket I was wearing looks too big on me and now it's really tight

And so the debate begins. No one in their right mind would cycle today. Me and my buddy are in discussion, throwing different forecasts back and forth. I'm OK with the damp but the wind is nearer 20 than the 13 my buddy's forecast shows........

Currently we're reconvening at 8.30........

You are my sister from another mister.

With auto fill i have found if you back space and delete the last letter, then put it back in it will usually then be accepted.

Bruce and Geddy are playing fighting.

Geddy adores his big bother, and Bruce has been very tolerant of the young upstart.

It's amazing what dogs learn to tolerate. 🐱
