The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning walk done and bumped into several locals on the way.
That's my bit of social interaction for the day. Everyone is starting to get fed up with this.
Back to some gardening after lunch.
Anyone else noticed that this nice weather has coincided with the lack of air traffic.........

The dog has been walked, and the runner bean frame constructed. The beans are just poking through in the greenhouse so another week or so they can be planted out.

Years ago (at time we had a tortoise) I planted about 20 runner beans and the were doing well.
My Dad who was a good gardener came to visit so I took him down the garden so as to show off my fine beans........only to find the tortoise had chomped through every one of them

A similar thing happened to me once.
I was on my way home from work and realised my wedding ring was missing.
I went back to work, unlocked the unit and went into the workshop. My first guess was to try the washroom to see if it had come off whilst washing my hands. No luck there so I searched my workbench, not there.
Then I realised that I'd been wearing disposable vinyl gloves throughout the day while working on an oily machine so I upended the bin and rummaged through the workshop rubbish and dozens of discarded vinyl gloves, all to no avail.
I'd just about given up and was thinking about Undoing the washbasin trap. I thought I'd just chuck all the crap back into the bin. Put my rigger gloves on and there it was, stuck in the third finger left hand. 👍

I've never had a wedding ring.
