The Retirement Thread

Is it Baldy's birthday? Happy anniversary of popping into the world day @Baldy

Morning.
Grey windy and unsurprisingly just had some rain. I got up, drew blinds and said to wife "it's not actually raining". Went downstairs, put kettle on drew blinds there and it was raining. Bit fed up of this weather now.
Weights session later. And maybe some online Xmas shopping. *sigh*

Riverside trail again. Cooler with blustery showers so not the most pleasant weather but still enjoyed it.

Beans with a bit of grated cheese on toast for breakfast this morning. Taking ages to type this as Molly is on my lap and I'm reaching over her to type. 🐱

My Facebook memory from 15 years ago. I think global warming is definitely a thing!

Morning

Feeling a bit delicate this morning due to slight getting to gether with a bottle of wine last night!!

That was after we got back from seeing The 5Th Step as a live transmission from a theatre

it was excellent!

Back from my sojourn to Aldi land. Got everything I wanted which was a bonus.
Left home in blinding sunshine and now it's bucketing down.

 

[Gunk]

I have risen!

I was heartbroken when I lost my Lemmy. Four years on it still makes me want to cry when I think about it.

I had two Bearded Collies for 16 years, I was so devastated when they died I’ve never had another dog since.

However we have recently been having a discussion about possibly having a dog again. As usual we can’t agree about which breed to have.

Afternoon, done walking

I need a wee but Geddy is asleep on my lap and I don't want to disturb him.

What is the point in having a dog if you can't wee on the couch and blame the dog

Afternoon all.
Totally agree with everyone’s views on pet ownership, it’s such a rewarding experience and the sense of loss when they leave us, is deep and real. It still makes me sad just to think about the pets we have had and lost over the years
.
Today seems to have taken me back in time . Mrs exlaser and our daughter are making candles in the kitchen ( the last time they did this was 20 years ago ) and I am in the lounge keeping the cat company.
The only difference is this time it’s not our cat. 😂😀

We don't own a cat but have been adopted by one of the more gregarious local ones. Granddaughters have named him " Ringo " because of the rings on the tail. We've seen him sunning himself under a small palm tree at No 4, but that might well be just another place he visits. Likes to make himself at home.

I wish I had a £10 note for every "never again" morning 😂

Popped out for another 45 minute wander but got rained on. PJ’s on now so that’s me done for the day.

I like cats that adopt one's house, shows they have good taste. BTW neat cycle storage. Very cool 😎
