The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I have a daughter in mid 50s and a son close to 50.
3** grandchildren between 23 and early 30s.
**there are 2 other grandchildren i have never seen as my son had an accramonious split and she would never allow us to have access.

@numbnuts R2 are discussing naturism and the fact that a group have been allowed to swim naked in the local pool but new people have taken over and banned it.

We have a naked swim, but it's only once a month in the evenings
been going on for a long time now and it is well supported.
It's backed by the British Naturism, one thing a don't like is
the charge £8 per person, which is a rip off.

Good afternoon. Mrs Tkk has just returned from the local card shop with 2 Birthday cards and a " get well soon " card. She informed me that the 2027 Calendars and Diaries are on prominent display😮. On a more positive note, the shop that was the Dry Cleaners closed suddenly and was vacant for several months. A lot of recent activity with shop fitters had us pondering, another Barbers? Dog groomers? Nail Bar ? No! It's a café, and more promisingly Mrs Tkk spotted a large print of a road bike ready to go on the wall😎🤞

I don't like to boast 😂

On a more serious note, Wife Mk2 is one of 10 children. All 10 were born within 14 years, all survived (indeed they are all still alive). The first five arrived one per year, things slowed slightly after that. Her parents did get a TV in 1952/53. 😂

My dad was one of 13 of which 11 survived to adulthood. There would have been more, but my grandfather was posted away from 1940 to 1945 😂.
It was what good working class Northern Ireland people did back then. And they weren’t even catholic. 🙂

On a personal note, our daughter is thirty and for a number of reasons i think our chance of grand kids is zero and to be honest i am not sure how i feel about that .

PS , it’s our wedding anniversary today, 38 years and never a crossed word 🙂 ( well never A SINGLE crossed word but plenty of crossed sentences 😂) Just sat pondering all those years, where did they go ?

I vought a giant cone and regretted it. I've become used to eating less with my diet and it made me feel a bit ick. Fortunately Brucemwas happy to assist me with my predicament.
