The Retirement Thread

Congratulations.

My Mrs P and I will have been together 41 years come August and married for 39 in November. Did or where any of us able to look that far ahead in our youth? I know I couldn't.

51 for us next month. As I often say, it seems just like yesterday......and we know what a crap day that was

Well......I suppose I'd better get up.
It's going to be one of those 'can't be arsed' type of days.
Still, looking on the bright side, it's nice to be able to have the option.

Well '68 was
"The temperature rose above 32C. on the first day of the month, but after a few spots of thundery rain, contaminated by Saharan dust, the 2nd was less hot, and the 3rd was sunny but cool and fresh. The rest of the first week was dry and rather warm with sunny spells. It then became unsettled at times, and on the 10th it was cool and wet with 24mm of rain and a high of only 17C Cool and cloudy northerly winds developed several times during the rest of July."

Good morning fellow retirees, looks like I'm the first up on the rank today. First, the weather report. It's wet. That scuppers our plans for today. MrsP and I have been married for 38 years today and we were going for a canal cruise from Camden along the Regents canal to Little Venice and back. It won't be any fun in the gloom and the rain. We will still go for a good lunch somewhere though. All the usual things to do first though, dog walking, and domestics. Life can be tough no bike riding today.

Congratulations to you both. The canal cruise sounds brill, enjoy!

Millennium Path today not much better than yesterday. Dog doesn't like going that way anyhow, but it's a popular route with cyclists. Not a complaint though, we're lucky to have it to use.

We organised a canal cruise for our 45th. Weather was iffy but fortunately didnt ruin it. S.I.L brought a disposable BBQ and we supplied the ale.....it was a good memory.

Nice one, thanks for that. Married the 27th and went to Scarborough for our honeymoon, it was dry but bl**dy freezing a lot of the time.

Just popped over to Calis to see the amazing sunset they have there, on the way back across Fethiye bay the sky was slight with a lightning storm, currently sitting outside at our favourite interesting dinner.

Morning folks. We had torrential rain all nigjt. Calm now, just very misty.


Am I first today?

 

[Paulus]

Morning all, guess what, it is raining again. Only lightly but still going. It is due to stop later on this morning.

Lazing around the pool as I write this, thought I saw a cloud but it was just a puff of that disgusting vape stuff. The village back home is flooded in places and does not look good.
