The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Had cheese omelette ,mushrooms and veggie sausages plus a coffee; watered garden

All that  and you ate a watered garden? You must've been starving!

Morning strangers!
Sat in the back of the car with two pals who are taking us to Wimbledon. Court 2 seats.
First time for us…surprise so far was being allowed to take your own wine (super-chilled fizz for us) and lots of food.
But no food in hard containers…sandwich bags in, frozen fruit now defrosting in the boot 😎
Should be a fine day!

Bonjour from sunny Thaxted, somewhere near Stansted airport.
My flight is at 12.50 and I must the premises by 10 am so plenty of time yet.
The airport car park is only 7 miles away.
I guess my next post will be from my brother's, near Orleans.
Salut.

Popping out visiting early this PM, won't be too long.

When I glanced at that I thought you said you were visiting the PM.


7 mile wander done in a very thick mist. My hair was wet when I got back.

Cheesy scrambled eggs for brekkie washed down with a mug of Yorkshire decaf.

You mean the invisible man 😆

Oh dear, im in trouble again.

When Mini D #3 was little I bought her a soft toy monkey which I named Spank. Spank the Monkey was her favourite.

Geddy as a stuffed toy chicken that I've named Choke. Choke the Chicken is slowly being shredded.

Mini D #4 has a soft toy cuddly lobster that I've called Lazy, and Mrs D has finally twigged that I've been referring to it as Lazy Lob all these years.

Morning all

General messing about day in prospect. Few odd jobs to do.

I see our schools break up tomorrow. It's good in some ways as you don't get the school run traffic but probably means some of my walks might be busier.

I thought that @Drago was doing the same. I know he is good mates with Sir Keir

Local guy has a hide set up and gets some great wildlife shots.

Nice one of one of the Pine Martins.

We've fallen out since I torched his car for knocking that cyclist off his bike.

That bought a certain scene from Porkies referring to Lassie to mind 😂

I don't get this reference............probably just as well......

I see we are getting at least some of the Tour de France on S4C......better than nothing. 🚴‍♂️

Morning.
Bit overcast and breeezy but dry.
Crap nights sleep, too much stuff going on with elderly parents who I was with all day yesterday trying to organise things but it's a freaking nightmare. My brain is mush which is ironic as that's the way my Dads going along with the physical decline.

Heads up folks, if you're going to live a long time make it a healthy end of life period.

Yeah I'm gutted ITV4 lost the coverage. Boulting and Millar by far best on comms and Daniel Friebe was always really interesting.
