The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Dowsing. My dad seemed to have the knack, although he used two l shaped pieces of wire gripped loosely in his hands to find underground drains. Quite a good success rate.

When I was a young man I used to dowse for ladies with my pink dowsing rod.

And now, sadly, your dowsing rod is a sort of off brown colour and is only brought out for special occasions.

Just cleaned Mrs Tenkays and my bike.

The sun was out so we set off to meet up with Daughter and granddaughter and drop off her laptop charger that she'd left behind.

Part of the journey is along the Prom and it was really busy with walkers and cyclists. I noticed a few family groups with hampers making a picnic for Mothers day.

A fair bit of sand had blown onto the Prom and the little Brommie wheels don't cope very well.

On the way back we stopped off at a local bike café, they're just doing takeaway coffee but we sat outside in the sun sipping our coffees and sharing a packet of Cheese and Onion crisps, who said romance was dead?

. I despair of the people of the UK
I wish the people here were as wise as those there. By the way, my sons in Colorado assure me that the marijuana dispensaries there have no shortage of herbal products so if your difficulties getting beer and whiskey get worse you can hop on over and get some. Could solve the toilet paper issue as well as prisons still are providing it, No?
I am liking the clever idea of using ones drawers as a mask. Gotta wash them at some point anyway and should be more effective than a paper mask at getting people to keep their distance.

I phoned my mum and wished her Happy Mothers Day.

Creep.

What!!! Are you serious? Intended for kids so us oldies can handle it. hahaha. I can maybe understand stuff for under 3s

It REALLY is very simple and great for seeing people you're probably not going to see much of for a while.

We often have a drink with friends on our cottage row. Plan is next week all seven of us get a glass, log in to the app and have a good chat - just as we always do.

It’s a plastic surgeon I need. I’ve inherited a rather large schnozel from my dad!

No.3 son and partner wanted to talk about buying a house. They've found one. It's a long story which I won't bore you with.

This would though be a BIG mistake. Two issues. The area is best described as "socially deprived." Secondly the housing market will probably collapse in the next 12 months.

I tried VERY hard to get this message over.
