The Retirement Thread

Morning. Another dry day. 2 in a row. Haven’t had that for a while.

Today’s excitement is a drive into Perth for a 2.30 dental check up. I can hardly contain myself.

Nippy enough to have a bit of frost on the shed roofs ❄️
Sunny, though! 👍

Good morning all.
A cool start to the day here with a touch of frost on the grass. But, the sun is up and it's going to be a warm day.
I have a doctor's appointment at midday for a yearly health check. No doubt I'll get told off for something or other. 🤔
Still it will give me a chance for a bike ride.

Morning all.
Sunny but cool enough to remind me its still only March.
The plan is to have an early stroll then another one before lunch.......lunch will be sourdough bread with ham and hummus (not on the same slice) plus some grapes.

The cousins walked. A bit of frost down on the industrial estate, but none up here on the hill.

Weather station recorded 21 celsiuses yesterday.

My alarm is set for 02:00 for the next two days.. Once for pleasure, once not 🙂

 

[Drago]

once not 🙂

Work beckons? Still, a burglars role is hardly 9 to 5, eh?

Morning.
Another glorious day and hopefully one I can take advantage of.
Will get a ton of stuff done first then head out for a decent ride is plan. Only concerns on that are clothing choices due to temperature. Yesterday was positively warm.

Bloody hell, Bon Jovi on the radio. I cant stand this lightweight pop-rock nonsense where the singer sounds like hes just crossed the serengeti with only a teaspoon of water to sustain him. Hopefully something decent on after.

Good morning from a sunny Dorset. Expecting a delivery of Beer that daughter has sent down to us. She arrives tomorrow night from Edinburgh, the beer is alcohol free, and it's so she doesn't go overboard with the booze when she catches up with various old friends and work colleagues who live locally.
I have a delivery of a " Mushroom Growing Kit " well two actually, one white and one brown. It's a present for Mrs Tkk who'se birthday is on Monday. She loves mushrooms so I thought it would make an interesting present. I also ordered some mushroom chocolate and mushroom coffee out of curiosity 🤔

I have just finished writing my memoirs for the benefit of my two children. I have printed it and will give it to them.
It will give them an idea of what I have done in the last 75 years, especially my youth.
In all, it is 10000 words.
My father did it and I thought it was a good idea as I learned a lot about his past, things he never discussed when he was alive.
I hope my son and daughter will do the same one day about his own lives and their own children too.
It would be nice to have four successive generations explaining what they have lived through and see the changes in life styles over more than a century , for our descendants to reflect upon and trace the history of their own family.

This has never occurred to me. A great idea. I'll give it some thought. Thank you.

Morning all

Another day of sunshine.
Got the rear lawns to cut later on when they dry out.

Good morning from another gloriously sunny Lancashire day. I was going to bury myself in the gym this morning but it's so beautiful I've binned that idea. Task for this morning are now breakfast, prepare stir fry for tonight, collect meds, allotment work, possibly clean out the garage. The garage needs a sweep but that can be done on a rainy day so I'll probably leave it.

This afternoon it's cards group. And that is that for today.........as far as I can remember for the moment
