The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Santa has returned to active duty. Now following a busy revised schedule he was unable to speak to us. However a spokeself took a break from shelf duties to issue a statement on his behalf.

"Father Christmas would like to thank residents of a small Lancashire village for their selfless assistance. In particular he would like to highlight the efforts of a 71 year old gentleman for sticking to the task. Known to his girls as Silly Granddad, using long forgotten skills he completed masterful reconstructive surgery in record time."

Morning. I should have just remained in bed. I thought I might have got out before the rain but it has beaten me to it.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Ironing day today.

Foggy out there. Be careful @PeteXXX if youre out trucking todayl

Its the most dangerous time of the year to be on the roads. That's mainly because the blokes like to go to the pub so allow thier wives to drive !!!

G'day cobbers (must include Ausie Mike).
Well, had a decent sleep though not long enough.
Plans are out of the window as my cleaner has suddenly switched from today to Friday. She 'forgot' that her 3 year old is in the school play. I had already switched my lunch pub visit to Friday so need to decide on that.
MAJOR PROBLEM No 2.
My son and DiL are making a flying visit tomorrow and I haven't got a present for him (thought i had a months grace). So must go to Superdrug for his favourite stupidly expensive aftershave.......Diesel .
All that means an early Aldi trip ie 0800 this morning.
Hey Ho!

Morning.
Raining. And a lot more to come.
The joys of a 2 hour drive each way to visit parents is plan which in this weather be grim.
If I get home in time a tip run is booked.

Porridge being eaten in bed, log burner on and it looks grey and slowly getting brighter.

Yep.. ♻️ Bin lid is iced shut, too.. I had to tap it smartly with a clenched fist to crack the seal!

Good morning all.
It's quite misty and frosty outside at the moment.
A domestics day today, and I'll probably cycle up to the market to get some fresh veg and fruit.

Morning folks quite a large group of porpoises feeding quite close to the beach yesterday-good to see.
Think i'll send off for some bird feeders, i dont usually feed the birds but will do when seriously cold weather blows in.
