The Retirement Thread

[mistyoptic]

Fark me! £80 for fish n chip supper for two and a glass of beer and a glass of wine!

Glad we’ll be back in the uk on Saturday.

Mind you, got back to the hotel and one of the group was offering open night on a litre of Jameson he bought in duty free. 😀🥃

Morning campers 👋

Talking of campers, I found another good channel to follow on YouTube. A young German woman who camps or uses her campervan for trips. She’s done some lovely ones in Scotland and has been to the Lake District recently too. She has a cute little dog called Otto.

Good evening. It's been wet. We got very wet on our ride. 😪

It seems to have got very smutty in here recently. I think I'll have to try and get in more regularly..........someone has to keep you lot under control!

While you were away I did my best to control that lot of miscreants but have had little success.

Coooeee. 17 deg here. My water butt's are now full after yesterday's rain. Hoorah.

Shopping day for us probably.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all. Another good sleep, that's 2 on the bounce.
We have a break in the rain which is due back in 2 hours........I am going to neck my drinks and get a walk in before it arrives. I will have to miss a nice section out as its muddy and take care in the park as the paths will be covered in wet leaves.
My cleaner comes at midday so I will get the bed stripped and the bedding in the washer
Have a good day peeps.

Dog's have been walked 🐶 🐕
We've all broken our fast, Shredded Wheat with blueberries, Salmon mush & chicken with veg and cereal crunchy bits.
I'll leave you to guess who had what 🤨

 

[PeteXXX]

It's raining.. Grass hasn't turned green yet 🤷‍♂️

This is not a dig, more of a get it off your chest thing. I'm forever reading from outraged pensioners about government planning to tax my pension, it all goes in tax, blah, blah. Most have never read anything more than a headline, don't understand pension contributions, tax law or much else. The fact is anyone whose sole income is the state pension is and will be exempt from taxation.

This isn't a kindness but a recognition of the cost and difficulty of collecting tiny amounts of tax from millions of pensioners.

That end bit does sound rather vague & un-thought through, doesn't it..
