The Retirement Thread

I've spent most of the evening emulsioning a ceiling.

Night Johnboy.

Night GranMa

 

[classic33]

Today I have:

• Collected hops from brewery for my allotment - non essential I confess
• Mulched my allotment beds where needed
• Prepared other beds for planting
• Cut the grass
• Other garden jobs
• Five mile walk
• Participated in an illegal gathering but 3 metres distant
• Drunk a double G&T
• Am now drinking a largish whisky

Is it any wonder I'm nackered?

I think it was that largish whisky that may have been the straw that broke the camels back.

You'll have to go without one tomorrow.

It was 17 C today and the low on Monday will be -13 after the Saturday-Sunday blizzard we will have... saw the ospreys are back on their nesting pole for the summer, the little thing on the pole is an osprey. They are my second favorite summer visitor coming in just behind the white pelicans who hang out on the river.

The latest beat the boredom wheeze amongst our friends is Spot the Difference. Take a photo of a room in your house, change ten things around and then take a second photo. Email the photos to people!!!!

I'm not that bored yet, plus I'm so minimalist I might not have ten things in some rooms!

Gosh, it feels warm this morning. It's to be a dull morning with the sun breaking through by afternoon. Legs were a bit weary yesterday so doubt I will be cycling. I shall see. Definitely have my morning walk soon though.

Today's is tricky and I suspect Janice, her kitchen, is going to be p***** off with me as I can see differences which may not be intended. One of the images is portrait and the other is landscape - means four things are missing from the view through the window in one image!!!! I can see trouble ahead.

Morning all. Another early morning (for me).
Apoarently Aldi have started opening 30 minutes earlier for the over 70s so I will have a quick dash up there. Dont need much but I just all that queuing just for a few bits.
0300 this morning a group of people came past our house shoting and swearing. So much for the rules in thier case then. I dont care what they catch but its the people they will pass it onto.
Ahh well, a quick coffee and maybe a quick shower then I will face the foe
Have a good day.

This is my neighbours car port. Hoping they are going to trim the roof back a bit when they put a gutter on, but even at that it is going to be bloody tricky if I need to get a ladder up the side to do any maintenance. Still not overly happy about it, but I presume it's legal so I will just have to put up with it. Just lucky that I had the walls painted a couple of years ago and the gutters renewed end of last year so hopefully shouldn't need access for long enough.

Like the price of toilet roll in a crisis, I have risen!

They need to sort that roof out quick Mo or you'll start suffering damp where it all splashes. Lord knows how that plan to do it, as you can't neatly cut that stuff.

Good morning folks, it looks like a glorious morning, I'm out for a bimble later.

 

[welsh dragon]

Good morning. A bit cool and misty but it looks like it will be another nice day here. Stay safe.

Mornin' all.
Apologies for tardiness. Radio 4 eased me from sleep as usual, then allowed me to slide back under😴

Lovely ginger cat.

I feel you should speak to them ASAP. As it stands it will be impossible, well extremely difficult, to fit a gutter which may mean they don't plan to.

The only way I can see to fit the guttering as things are would be to find a way to extend the supporting brackets off the beam or uprights. That would be very poor.

Speaking to the female partner may be the better approach - making assumptions about the nature of the partnership.

Good morning fellow retirees,

The door bell rang yesterday evening, Mrs Tenkay went to see who it was and found 9 pint beer box on the doorstep along with a contactless card reader. The brewer /delivery driver was standing a few metres away.

Once the deal was done and the beer safely stashed in the fridge, Mrs Tenkay explained that she'd ordered it as she liked to support as many of the small local brewers as possible 🍺👍😁

Have a peaceful day folks 🌞🙏👍
