The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Hello!!

Dull, grey, drizzle.

Shortly I shall do my turbo session then should go to the allotment though the drizzle is off putting.

I too have to check the bank account, pay bills and begin a decision on continuing to draw down from my pot, take a regular pension or spend savings for next twelve months.

I know what I should do but don't like it!!

It's always the way with kids and grandchildren to be honest.

Grans Taxis for you isnt it

Morning all, first, the good jobs for the day have been done. The oven and grill was quite a mess so that has been cleaned, fumigated and degreased. Also the fridge, it seemed to have some kind of alien life growing and living in there. That has been done and quite a bit of what presumably was once fresh food has ended up in the compost bin. The added bacteria should help with the composting action very well.

Bit windy overnight, which was unexpected. Looks like shunshineandshowers today.
Off to Tintagel today - hoping to get in a tour of the Tintagel brewery later.

A few samples maybe?

Good turbo session with power output increasing but HR remaining steady. Happy.

Decent morning tidying the allotment. All my collected timber moved in to the woodstore as I won't be logging any till autumn. A quick estimate suggests I already have enough logged for next winter.

This afternoon rip out overwintered kale, spinach and broccoli and tackle perennial weed growing on a patch I missed last year.

Its either a very big plate or a mean portion of chips.
Mind you, they do look nice.
