The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning from a bright sunny Dorset. Mrs Tkk will be taking the granddaughter back to London this morning. It's been great having her, if a bit tiring, but at least I have vastly increased my knowledge of the music of " K Pop Demon Hunters " 😁
I shall be taking the same train but alighting at Branksome station which is just a short distance from St Aldhelms Church hall, the venue of the annual Poole Beer Festival. Open from 11:00 am until 3:00pm today ( lunchtime session ). It's certainly a " pace yourself " session as some of the ales are quite potent.

You have such a way with words.....its like reading poetry of the highest order.

Did you know, in 2010 I was appointed Poet Laureate?

Sadly I was dismissed on my first morning, following the publication of my first piece There Was a Young Man Named Enus.

There was a newsreader in Oz called Anton Enus

I confess to not knowing that fact. It seems that, if possible, every day you go up in my estimation. I feel somehow unworthy.

You have said before but how old is your granddaughter ?

No, i miss his comments.
He got a ban for something or other and think it upset him.....hope he's ok.

Me too 😀 and I hope he will return soon .

Even though 90% of the comments I have ever had removed have been rebuttals to his posts. The difference is when I posted them I expected they would be removed and I might get a ban . ( Not that it has ever stopped me sulking and not posting for few days 😂 ).
This is a moderated place , and we all know the rules . Basically, nothing political, no criticism of the mods and most importantly PLAY NICE.
The bottom line is, if you want to say anything you want, with out any limits and with out any moderation there are other platforms you can join. 😀. But they are definitely not for me , facebook is bad enough these days ☹️.

We has rain . That's not supposed to happen.

Carpe diem!

Another nice day here, a little cloudier and windier than yesterday but still plenty of blue sky and sun, the long range forecast is pretty good too. Not much on today, got a local company coming round to give me a quote for solar panels and a battery, had been thinking about installing them for a while and seeing as my unit rate going from 18p to 30p a unit when my current contract ends and predicted higher in January has given me the final nudge.
