The Retirement Thread

But do you not have to wash the whole duvet every week ?
And what TOG duvet do you have, mine is 9.5.

It's just a 4.5 so lightweight. Maybe I am not very hygienic compared to you but afraid I let it go for up to a month.

I need a step to do the duvet. I put the two corners into the corners of the cover. Hold it on the outside, as high as I can, that's what the steps for and shake it. Then put the bottom two corners into the open end and give it another shake, job done. If I wasn't so short I could do it without the step.

I have been googling "coverless duvets" and various suppliers recommend 1-2 months (unless you are particularly sweaty).

And in other headline news.........
I have decided on sausage and egg on toast butty. Sausages are nearly cooked (I always overdo them slightly just to 'make sure').

Good Afternoon, just popping in to say hello. It's wild, wet and windy. In about 15 minutes we depart for Leeds to see another of my lifelong heroes, a man whose words have spoken to generations over decades, a man who speaks for millions - Bob Dylan. I'm hoping we will be hearing the newer stuff - I don't need to hear "Blowin' in the Wind" again unless it is another of his often brilliant reinterpretations.

Our hotel is on The Headrow. The last time I slept on The Headrow was 1978....on the pavement. I was queuing outside Barkers Music Shop to buy a ticket for the legendary 1978 Earls Court concert. I queued for 24 hours. Today I booked online, paid by credit card and have our digital tickets with constantly changing QR codes stored in Google Wallet. Oh The Times They are a Changin'

It's our friend's turn to drive. I'm happy about this, I don't fancy driving over the tops on the M62 today!

I saw Dylan at the Liverpool Empire in May 1966 (you read that right..... 1966).
At that time he was experimenting with electric guitar as against his acoustic one. A % of the crowd did not like it-they booed and walked out.
I did prefer the acoustic Dylan but enjoyed the whole experience.
I still have 2 vynil LPs of his from that era.

People keep telling me that but my BBC forecast persists on showing cold but dry weather. BBC will no doubt change it by NEXT Friday.

Bob Dylan concert at Earls Court in 1978? I think I was at that one too.

I tried a soggy walk didn't get too wet

Just make sure you remove your boot
Drying would be my concern as I don't have a tumble thingy, but an airing cupboard
