The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning all, it's cloudy here......
Off to gym for an hour, then off for my conversation Spanish class with a local who teaches from her own house.

When I was younger I saw an ad', in a phone box, for French lessons. I got quite a surprise when I got there

 

[Dave7]

Morning all. Hope you are not too soggy. Up early and did my stretches, went for a walk and also walked down and up 7 flights of steps.
I have just booked a bike for 4 hours. Just going to Alcudia plus a general pootle. Looking forward to that.

 

[welsh dragon]

Good morning. It's still hissing down here.

 

[Paulus]

Morning all, a bit grey here at the moment. The dog will be walked as usual for an hour or two and the I shall be out pootling around the mean streets of Barnet getting fresh fruit and veg. The garden is too wet to do anything out there so after the pootle maybe a pint or two in the Mitre.

Good morning from a grey and soggy Coventry. I'm not impressed, I've had to put the heating on this morning.

More bloody rain in North Wales.

It's been raining constantly for the last 4 days, floods everywhere, luckily not in our house.

So can't take the car out, can't take the bike out, can't paint the soffits and fascias, and the guy trying to repoint the house is getting nowhere fast.

I wanted to move to Cornwall but no, the wife insisted it was back to the north west, as I keep reminding her.

I can't even drink my homebrew as the guy bringing my new regulator system can't get here.

Scorcher here, lazing outside beside the pool swim and brekkie done.

 

[PaulSB]

Good morning campers! Grey
and very damp today. Poured down all night and I suspect will again soon.

I think I've found the way to help my friend. Just need to ruminate on this for a while. Feeling good about this.

Allotment plans cancelled due to weather. First thing is a visit to the GP to try and get a letter re my fitness to drive. DVLA are insisting on this to support my licence application.

Hearing test this afternoon - one half of my marriage is going to feel justified after this. Just a question of which one..........

........and it's Canasta evening with good soup and wine.

Wales isn't the only place suffering. I heard that down south they have had flooding as well.

I don't care about them though

Signing in for another day on planet pension.

GP agreed to write letter supporting my licence application. Hopefully this will discourage the DVLA waiting weeks to hear from my consultant.

Heavy, very wet drizzle now. Time to clear up the dumping ground otherwise known as the loft.

 

[PaulSB]

Well the loft is tidy. Have to wait for Mrs P to finish sowing before I can clean the room.

Thats not nice. What about your CC retirees who live down sarf.
