The Retirement Thread

Lethally icy out there underfoot so cut Bruce's walk short. Car drivers flying about like loons, quick a few will end their journey in walls or ditches today.

It's stopped raining here. We now have actual snow, but the ground us to wet for it to stick

Wow. It lasted all of 2 minutes

Bugger!!!! I forgot to put the bin out yesterday.

Mine is out !!
Is there a 'smug' emoji

Eeee, that wer a chilly walk!

Actual temperature zero but the windchill made it feel more like minus 7. Fine once I got a mile or so in and started to warm up.

Careful Dirk. Take it from me, there is nothing more painful than having frozen quantocks.

Oh, I don't know......a kick in the Mendips is pretty bad.

Yesterday was the normal bin day but due to Christmas we were told it would be Saturday, so of course they have just been and our bins were not out.

Light dusting of snow here, sun is out, looks beautiful.

My birthday today so out with our two kids who are both home from university for a late breakfast and a walk.

Somehow 61 feels much worse than 60!

New Year doesn’t seem as important as it was many years ago. I was surprised to find that the Co-op was open yesterday.

Happy Birthday. I can assure you 66 feels a lot worse as it feels like it’s rapidly approaching 70. Time is flying past far too quickly for my liking.

Im staring down the barrel of 58 years awesome.

Your a mere child

We're going to need a section for age appropriate posts at this rate 🤣🤣

How about a GRASPING section - Generally Retired, Awaiting State Pension. I'm Not Geriatric

Just looked outside

When I woke up - well got up anyway, my brain starts operating some time after my body most mornings - the driveway looked normal

but now i have been up I looked out again and there is white stuff all over
looks more like hail than snow - or something in between

but that looks like a ride this morning is out - too slippy for the places I like riding and my record of breaking arms whwne I fall off means explaining why I should go out to my wife becomes rather complicated
It would involve raised eyebrows!!!


ANyway - grandkids are here overnight tonight and we are picking them up at 3ish so this afternoon is not available either

Morning fellow eskimo's I broke the ice and refilled the bird bath tuther day and was surprised to see sparrows having a right splash party and seemed to be enjoying them selves despite the cold! Wild life is tough, every year i wonder how anything survives out there. Will wander down to co-op in a while...not that i need anything just something to do and stroll back along the beach.
