The Retirement Thread

[IaninSheffield]

Mornin' all.
Stand by your beds!

I for a plan, but due to the fact I can't drive(you don't know how lucky you are), and the the fact that more than one vehicle is required, I need a couple of wheelmen.

Everything is worked out, last Thursday of this month, 19:00 hours onwards. Any volunteers?

Will you be providing the masks, pretend guns and the sign saying "this is a holdup, stick your hands up you bum"

Good morning folks . Chilly here

Good morning. Slept till 6.20, very satisfactory as that's 7+ hours. How long will it last?

We've had a light frost and once again the sky is clear, the sun will shine and there is a very slight breeze.

Garden centre delivery. That's today's task. Somehow I've been designated the person for organizing the village bedding plant delivery!!! I mentioned I'd found a place where I could collect some tomato plants and they do deliveries. Well........

I've got orders from six other households and had to stop there. It's OK doing this for friends who will understand if it's not quite what they wanted but people one knows less well?? A definite no.

Spoke to a good friend who's organised a lot of food and other deliveries. She's been surprised by having 5/6 people unhappy they didn't get precisely what they'd asked for. Some people!!

Good morning fellow retirees,
I was a bit of a slob yesterday, couldn't seem to get motivated. Today's another day and the sun is shining again 🌞
Have a lovely day folks 🌞🙏👍

Nice walk done.

Sadly I doubt this fisherman's hut on the far side of the river will be getting much use at the moment.

Morning all fellow virus dodgers.
A lovely sunny start to the day here.
What to do today.
Solitary dog walk, a bit of gardening, clean the bikes, again, and pump all the tyres up, again.
We don't need any provisions so no real need to go out. Well, maybe just a few miles this afternoon

Oh goody we now have a temporary mortuary just down the road at Southampton Airport, makes you feel so much better knowing that 🤧🤒😷

Morning all

Going to dodge the Ilfracombe road block this morning and sneak in via the back roads.

How bloody stupid is this. Aldi have a 0730 slot for key workers and over 70s. They give us 30 minutes. So.......0730 the doors open. I whip round and get what we needed**. Got to the checkout for 0740.......no one on the till. 5 minutes go by and I ask "'excuse me, is the till opening"? Answer was...... "we are not allowed to open it till 0800". Ever so politely I asked if that was a by law or a store law.In reply I got a sort of grunt. So there are now 20? people queueing down the isle when some manager said ahhh open the tills and suddenly at 0755 there are 3 tills all serving.
**sadly the skimmed milk rack was totally empty.

I just showed that photo to MrsD and asked 'right, who posted this"?
She said "its either Welshie or Mo".
I am so predictable
