The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

 

[Dave7]

Like Mo and Paulsb I didn't sleep well last night.......a mere 7 hours . And that was on top of the 2 hours kip on the sun bed in the afternoon. Do I have a problem?
I have a 10 miler at 10.00. Family are coming around for a BBQ at 1400. I know, we are a day early.... so sue me
MrsD is going to take the aunty out for a short walk this morning......just around the cemetry so she can see the grave of her husband who died over 45 years ago

Good morning folks.

Right I really am going now but one quickie.........I'm doing this Facebook thing on posting one album cover a day for ten days. It should be albums which have influenced one's musical taste. It's been fun. I ran through all my LPs () and decided I would do this chronologically. To my surprise the earliest album I have after the Beatles is Cream and Disraeli Gears. I was 13.

Now we are all of a similar generation and some are from the Midlands. I went to college in Pershore '74 - '76. One of the girls in my year went out with a guy called Mick who used to roadie for this band. They played our Student Union a few times, great nights. Mr Gibbons comes from Harborne where we lived from '80 - '82. Anyone else remember this band? Not many people I know have come across them before.

I often say......when god created pigeons he must have run out of nice bird songs. Sooo bl**dy annoying.

They all have friends called Suzy..................dad always said their call was "Do you know Suzy like I know Suzy". If you listen to it, it does

Mornin' all.
It's Sunday and therefore porridge day. This is a good thing.

How do you know these things?

I can vouch for porridge being good but I'm not at all sure that it's Sunday....................................

To me it sounds like........"I am going to sit outside your window and annoy you"

It was that last bit that confused me. I would get some socks with days on but I do not trust Pam not to mess with me and give me the wrong days.

Good morning fellow retirees,
All this talk of wildlife ( pigeons, Cockerells and Gibbons) has reminded me that I need to sort out a cover for the chimney.
A pigeon roosts on there and the chimney acts as an amplifier for its cooing.

A bit vague this morning due to one too many bottles of Henry Westons excellent cider 🙄
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚲🌞
