The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
It should be a nice sunny day with temperatures due to get up to around 16⁰c.
I'll get some more jobs done in the garden, and bit of pruning and maybe cut the grass again if it dries off enough. The shed roof needs a bit of attention, water is getting in although there are two layers of felt on it.

Good morning from a misty but soon to be bright Dorset. Mrs Tkk has Pilates this morning and I will head out for a walk / jog. It seems our daughter has a tabletop dishwasher and has asked dad if I know anyone who would plumb it, I contacted my regular plumber but he's not insured to work in flats so it's looking for someone trustworthy and reliable.

Cousins walked. I had been loosely considering cutting the grass today, but we appear to have had light 3ain kfernight and the grass and earth are sodden so that ajnt happening.

Morning.
Bit grey and damp for a change.
Was dry yesterday so got out for a spin with a mate which was good but a hell wind out on way. Brutal.
Trip to tip today is only plan depending on news of Dad etc.

Need to get my ass into gear.

Busy day, today!

Our new whirlygig came without a hole so I'll have to puncture the lawn this morning.
Also, as it's No 1 daughter's birthday today, I have to decorate the cake I made yesterday.

Dont they come with the type of easy fit connections now ? Long time since we had a tabletop but even i (Mr Bean) fitted it. The hose to empty it did hang/clip over the sink though if that matters.
Of course, regulations might not allow those fittings now.

Morning. Walk done, although it wasn’t particularly pleasant. It’s very overcast with a heavy drizzle.

Not that hungry so just about to have some soya yoghurt with fruit.

Just listening to the Swinging Blue Jeans on Gold radio. Them were the days. I worn a tab shirt, blue serge waistcoat, ice blue jeans and Cuban heels......I was so super cool

Every day is a schoolday.
I just found out that Hepworths tailors rebranded and became......Next.
And that John Colliers was swallowed up by Burtons who, later on, closed it down.
