The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning.

A busyish day here; chores, visit a u3a member for IT support, cards group and cook tea. I didn't get to bed till 11.00pm and woke at 4.30am, feeling pretty groggy right now. I must crack on tomatoes and other pots need watering before the sun gets up properly.

For those who wish you can watch re-runs of last night at Ewood most Saturday afternoons from 3.00pm!!!! Attempting to defend a 1 - 0 for 35 minutes plus an almost guaranteed 10 in added time????? The best place to defend is in the opposition half. Basic stuff. Literally half a season at Ewood Park teaches you that.

Good morning from another sunny Dorset morning. I have booked an appointment with the Physio, not been to this practice before but Mrs Tkk speaks highly of them. I have an ongoing problem with my left hamstring being painful, tripping on a tree root on Tuesday saw me throwing the left leg forward to save myself from a fall and that exacerbated it. The physio is a mere two minutes walk from the new " Italian Kitchen " so I will pop in after treatment and check out the pastries 😀

Hey, while I remember. We're dying out. Faster than we realise!!! Before KO Guy Mowbray was looking back at previous world cup semis in 2014, 1990 and commented to the effect "A dwindling few will recall the first in 1966." Dwindling??? Everybody I know recalls 1966, perhaps not the game but at least the year. I am not, repeat NOT, ready to dwindle................yet!

Apparently Engurlund lost the match. From what im hearing on the radio folk are almost grieving, and seriously need to get a life.

Couldn't get a semi, I guess 🤷‍♂️

At least when the English lost at Grytviken they gave the Argentinians a good old fashioned ass whooping first. Well worth reading up on if youre not familiar with that little dust up, how a handful of Royal Marines with infantry weapons attacked and damn near sunk an Argentinian warship.

That was a semi. They just couldn't get the hard part done

 

[Drago]

No happy ending!

Back from my walk......1.5 miles.
Really pleased as I kept up a good pace with no wobbles or stumbles.
Quick drink then get the bedding in to wash.

Geddy and Bruce walked, now enjoying a coffee.
