The Retirement Thread

Like walking through a lovely green tunnel now with all the beech trees being out.

Good morning gang. Hazy here. I suspect it will be a warm one today. Stay safe folks.

Good morning. It's grey, overcast and 12C. Doesn't feel that warm. Slept badly till 6.40 but at least overcame the urge to get up at 3.00am

@Dave7 I saw your thread - is the tooth OK?

I have no enthusiasm for today but will get the bike out around 9.00. Hops to collect for the allotment this afternoon. A shelf is sagging in the porch cupboard so needs an extra baton.

Next door but one have put up loads of bunting saved from their daughter's wedding.

Ah well on with the day........

Shite here too. I was in bed earlier than my Garmin thinks but because I tossed and turned for so long it thinks I went to bed later.

Good morning fellow retirees,
Mrs Tenkay suggested having a G+T with dinner last night.
There was a bottle of "Hortus" gin (Lidl, I think) with just enough left for a generous measure each.
Of course, being easily led, I then got the taste for it and cracked open the bottle of Japanese Roku Gin that was on offer at Waitrose.
What a revelation, outstandingly good, smooth and subtle. Speaking with our daughter who lives in Edinburgh and has visited Japan, she says that the Japanese make excellent malt whisky too.

Have a lovely day folks 🚲🏃🚶🌞

If I look out my back door looking east I can see it, I think they call it a Corn moon, does look nice! ... If I look out my front door looking west, my son tells me we can see Venus.

If you look between you legs you can see Uranus.

Morning all

I practise yoga, but I'm not that flexible.

Hi

 

[Paulus]

Morning all fellow retirees, a nice sunny start to the day here.

Anyway we've got the Red Arrows flying over at 10o/c, I love the Red Arrows 🛩🛩🛩

I will look out for them, I might get a view of them as I'm not far from you as you know.

@Tenkaykev ...We're quite partial to a G & T, here at GM Towers as well, Bombay Sapphire that I brought back from Singapore being our fav at the moment ... Not mentioning any names , but there's quite a few Gin lovers on the forum!

Good still laughing.

That is a shite night's sleep. Stopped wearing my Garmin at night a couple of years ago as I didn't like the readouts. ☹

Our neighbour, different person, who has full on depression came out of her house last night for the first time in weeks. She looked ghastly, like a ghost, aged years and clearly seriously overdoing the tablets. It really brought home to me what this virus must be doing to people.

Sorry folks. Needs highlighting. It's good to have this thread for a bunch of old duffers.

 

[Paulus]

I have the flag flying , although there is no breeze at the moment.
Happy VE day. We have our Fathers and Grandfathers to thank for this day.

I have risen!

ou said that yesterday

I was here back of 5 but nobody was around so I decided to let someone else be first and went out for my walk.
It's raining now but supposed to brighten up later.

I don't believe it
