The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I don’t own any Christmas decorations so an easy decision.

Nor do I, never have. Nor did Sue. I don't know where my daughter gets it from.
This is her tree

I just looked at the clock, 0855hrs. Not long ago I would be midway through the morning meeting, bored stiff and somehow totally ticked off at the same time, wondering what horror awaited me during the rest of the morning.

Now I’m nibbling a piece of home made bread, with sesame seeds, and wondering if I should fire up the espresso machine or just make instant.

retirement is so nice

Instant, less time hanging around.

Where are you to be 0855hrs ?

 

[Dave7]

Instant, less time hanging around.

I chop and change. Today was instant and yesterday was my Tassimo.
TBH, by the time I have boiled the kettle and spooned my coffee in then stirred it plus the milk there is not much difference. With the Tassimo I slide a pod in and press the button....job done.

Daughters cat isn't interested, if she's fed and watered nothing else bothers her.

That was yesterday. Today it was instant.
Call me fickle

I have issues with the bloke opposite

Thought he was a normal sensible sort of person but they have had Christmas lights up for the last 2 weeks

To be fair he was probably only following instructions
but he must have done it himself - his wife doesn;t do things outdoors and it is a "man's job

Imagine living next door to this guy.

Plover Close in Minehead - it gets bigger every year!

Toronto area… in the land of maple slurp, poutine and seals.

Near where all the refugee camps are for fleeing Americans.

Good idea… it’s coming up on time to get the cargo bike out for the groceries run.
