The Retirement Thread

Confession time!!
I went back to bed at 0700. Had 2 hours solid kip and feel better for.it.

Now........I am off to the pub at 10.00.......that's right 10.00 !!!
I read that they have some sort of social thing on, its called Chatterbox. Free tea/coffee and biscuits.
I imagine they are all old gits like me
Daughter suggested I go with Simon, my neighbour/friend but I think that if I do we will just sit at a table and talk to each other
So, decent clobber on and a good dose of aftershave and I am off.
Wish me luck.

142 mince pies left.

That's about 2 years consumption for me.

On the pull? At 1000 in the morning?

I think, if you’re going to study it properly, that you need to consider different combinations with various flavours of icecream. Salted caramel should work well but many other possibilities spring to mind also

Has to be a properly designed experiment

Cycle to Screwfix for a replacement PIR switch/ detector thing. To replace a failed unit at the bottom of the garden.
Then install said item. Then wait for dusk to set the light level. Or is there some other way?

Plural?? That's either hopeful or greedy.........or both!

It didn't have space to put "form an orderly queue".

West Wales

Ah - there are some lovely places there
and some strange people

I met a group from there once - they were quite strange
when I lived in North Wales it was said that strange things went on in the hills above the town
and when we went walking there we saw a lot of "unusual" arrangement of sheep bones on rocks and things

People who grew up there told me (i.e. not an unbiased source ) that people in mid Wales were weirder

Ironing done. Finished season 2 of Landman - OMG, so many plot lines left on a cliffhanger! Just brilliant.

Think get odd people everywhere though. I'm English anyway.
However, where we live is a lovely place. Rural/coastal and quiet.

Haven't started it yet. I enjoyed season 1 although the wife/daughter incredibly annoying and I've read even worse in season 2.

Little girl (reading a magazine) says to Mum "what are gays'?
Mum...."well you know that me and your dad love each other, well 2 men can also love each other".
Little girl....... "so what does penetrating gays mean"?
Mum, after a pause ....."erh, read me the sentence".
Little girl......"she stared at him with a penetrating gaze".
