The Retirement Thread

[Mart44]

Good morning - A sunny day, just right for going to the supermarket this morning.

I'll be accompanying Mrs mart to the doctors this afternoon.

If there's time, I also want to trim the hedge and cut the grass ..hopefully for the last time this year.

Mini D walked to school with Muttley. The dog loves all the kids making abig fuss of him. Then walked the long way back around the village, enjoying the sunshine and trying to forget my throbbing shoulder.

We are going to the Sculpture Park. Housework cancelled.

Just looked in sink cupboard.......water everywhere. Bugger or worse. Facebook request has got me three plumbers all recommended by friends.

Further investigation revealed this may simply be a loose nut which I've tightened. Dried everything off and then used Mrs P's hairdryer to be sure. I shall leave it 20 minutes and test again.

Am I inclined to panic in these situations.......No!!!!!!

Morning all.

Off to Yorkshire today to pick up my late mum's car to bring it back and sell in North Wales -easier to do when a car isn't 100 miles away.

Bit why does it take 3 hours to go 100 miles - this is why we need HS2!

Morning all fellow coffin dodgers.
Looks to be a very pleasant day.
I am off to Manchester to have a look at a new bike. This is the Whyte Stirling**. Seems to have a good spec' and at a shade under 10K should fit the bill.
After that I pick up some new Endura Pro shorts.......I need another pair for my upcoming cycling holiday.
Next I hope to get a quick ride in 10-15 miles (before the afternoon school traffic)
**I will report on it later.

Forget Bill, it should fit you.

He look like he is falling asleep.

He is. He's had a 2 mile walk and breakfast, he's about ready for his morning snooze.

Clearly he is as finely tuned and alert as his owner.

Morning all.
Just woke up 5 minutes ago after a very good night's sleep - interrupted only by a very odd dream about Nazis, dinosaurs, zombies and Barbara Windsor.

Hitching up in a couple of hours and trundling back to North Devon.

It's an end-event dream portal.

Nothing to worry about.
