The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

Now I only have the TV OK for background noise while I look at Netflix, you tube etc

Do you not have Netflix and YouTube on your telly? Better watching it on a big screen.

We must be weird as we're quite a quiet house during the day. Mrs Tkk will catch up with the Archers while cooking, listen to the 6:30 quiz shows on the radio while eating our evening meal. Telly only goes on for specific programmes such as Springwatch then it gets turned off.

Good morning all.
A cloudy day in prospect here, but possibly no rain today.
I would rather have the radio on than the telly, there are certain TV programmes that I like, such as Springwatch and I'll put the telly on for that, MrsP on the other hand likes the telly on most of the time. I put my earbuds in when she is watching some stuff.
Looking through the TV guide there are a majority of repeats on all the main channels, money must be tight for production companies to to make new stuff.
There has been a couple of new things though. Ch4, Tip Toe, a great cast, a bit weird and quite brutal in parts.
C5, the Fortune, a bit formulaic but maybe worth a watch if you have nothing better to do.

This afternoon I have a meeting of the Escape committee at the 🚂 🛎(RailwayBell) plus I have to order some flowers, possibly roses as tomorrow is our 45th wedding anniversary.
Enjoy your day everyone

Bruce and Geddy walked. Grass is far too wet to cut so will defer that until possibly Monday.

The Milky Bars are on me! 😂

Have you seen the price of chocolate, I would edit that to:

“The milky bar is on me” 🙂

Dutton Ranch tonight. The trailer suggests that Rip is jolly upset about the dead body dumped on his land and hes making enquiries about it in his own subtle and not remotely menacing or murderous manner.

True! 😋

Mrs D tells me Geddy woke her up in the night. Thinking he wanted a wee she pulled on her dressing gown and opened the garden door, butnhe wasnt interested.

Turns out he wanted a treat! And when she went back upstairs Bruce was patiently waiting for a treat as well, suggesting they had planned it together. Suffice to say the didn't get one - that'd start a never ending cycle of being awoken every night...

Morning, well it's dull here, but not raining so something to be thankful for

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Yay! Fish Friday.
Of out later.
Now, we haven't had a TV for nearly 30 years and have told the licencing people ages ago. Every couple of years they send an email asking to confirm that we still don't need a licence. Got an email last night and was halfway through filling it out, when I thought - no, why should I? So I binned it.
I await, with interest, to see what happens next.

 

[Drago]

Good man. You dont have to tell Tesco that you now shop at Waitrose. Screw 'em. I had a goon visit earlier this year - I redirected them back off my property and closed the door.

I dont miss live TV one bit. I dont mind paying for essential services even if I don't use them, but a succession of filthy perverts on the payroll and repeats of Roger Moore era James Bond films every Christmas aren't enough to tempt me to buy an aerial.

Morning.
Grey and overcast but dry. Car being packed for weekend away inc bike .
Now coffee.

 

[Mo1959]

Lovely 5.5 mile wander done. Although it's reasonably fresh out I still had to take my jacket off after a couple of miles.
