The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

My grandchildren are all in thier 20s so they all help granddad now. The granddaughter needs prodding and things takes days whereas the grandson is more proactive. Both good "kids" though.

Get a stronger prodding stick, less chance you'll break it.

It's very foggy out down to less then 50 yards, glad I'm not going out
and the people that are take extra care.

Unusually a very lazy day for me today, a few small errands this morning. Made a turkey curry for this evening. Lit the fire and watched The Wolf Of Wall St this afternoon.

Quiet evening with my youngest, we are going to play Monopoly Northampton edition!

Mine also. I refuse to sit here feeling cold.
Now if that Welsh woman would visit and bring her new electric blanket i could get really snug.

The one on the right?

 

[classic33]

I was going to re-phrase that

but I thought I would leave it

I knew someone would comment on it

and I was pretty sure who it would be!!!

And I think you were wrong!

Well certainly not the one on the left

The one on the left got decent airline food though. And he wasn't even flying at the time.

One month to go and I'll be able to post on this thread
One year early but had enough of commuting and working on shoot bikes .
Plenty of stuff to do (garden,house and re-jigging the shed) and obviously more time for riding!
Only down side is a bit(actually a lot) less cash for stuff although we have hit the charity shops over the last few weeks and scored some quality clothing; specifically Welsh and Japanese made jeans, vintage Levi's,Paul Smith and some quality winter shirt/jackets, so clothing bill will be low.

Welcome.😁

The telly has been on all day - mostly on a News sort of thing


Bloomin' furriners
Don;t they learn how to tell the time properly in these places
they keep setting off fireworks and jumping up and down and
IT IS NOWHERE NEAR MIDNIGHT YET!!!

Honestly

Oi!!

Some of the people on here are perfectly normal

you just need to be a bit flexible with your definition of normal

I imagine it will be even busier tomorrow. People seem to have the strange habbit of having a walk on new years day morning.

Broadstone 1/4 marathon in the morning. It's the 40th running of the event and a good friend and local legend Geoff has taken part in every one. He turned 80 this year and it's to be his final run. The organisers are letting him set of 3/4 of an hour before the official start. Mrs Tkk and myself along with probably countless others will accompany him on the second and final lap of a two lap hilly course.
The naysayers are already out in force as there is a once a year, 10 minute road closure between 9:25 and 9:35 🤔

Just poured myself a beer!!!


I don't drink much these days - but tonight is a special night so stuff it!!
