The Retirement Thread

I always think, its just a pity they don't last longer.
Many years ago we used to have spring holidays near Porth Madog. The road from Bedd Gellert was full of flowering Rhodadendrums. But sadly they didn't last long.

They try to get rid of them in Wales now as they are not native, or at least the did.

I watched True Grit on Netflix with Jeff Bridges. It was quite good

Welshie. Dont know if you are familiar with Porth Madog but MrsD wants to know if you are aware of a big family owned store called Pooles. It used to be 3 stories, sold everything for the kitchen etc, all good quality. We would visit every holiday.

I still prefer the original with John Wayne.
We watched Hangem High with Clint Eastwood last night. I had forgotten how good that was.

Oh yes. I did like John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn

I am sorry if it sounds insensitive but is retirement like being lockdown? I am genuinely curious

It's like being in lockdown except that everything is open and there's no restrictions.

Been to see No.2 son. All good but traffic levels close to what I recall as normal on the M65 - that is high speed 6" off the rear bumper of the guy in front. Dickheads.

Clearly some people have learned nothing in the last seven weeks. ☹

No!!

Retirement is the freedom to do whatever you wish whenever you wish.

Don't worry it's not insensitive..........anyway we've all reached the who gives a fig stage of life.
