The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Morning all, still grey and damp here but not looking quite as gloomy as yesterday.
Spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening rewatching series 1 of Downton. Trouble was, watching the formal Lord Grantham holding court in the grand rooms downstairs I couldn’t get out of my mind the image of Paddington causing chaos in the bathrooms and bedrooms and staircases above him

You might have to give it a trim, occasionally, just to keep it tidy

Sunday morning, leisurely 12.4 miles on our Ecosmo Tandem. Chanced upon my younger brother, and a couple of his cycling buddies, on their gravel bikes. They couldn't keep up with us (if only).

It gave me a bit of a headache so had a little lie down. I kind of want a spin, but think I might struggle with the humidity.

Yep. I am not going out because of that. It is oppressive

morning

Whilst you were posting that, it was The Devil Went Down to Georgia on one side, and The House of the Rising Sun on the other.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know it well. I used to live at Frinton and had a beach hut at the Leas. Fantastic beach there, the dog used to love it.

I bet you got fed up with people saying ' Dover for the continent, Frinton for the in.........' glad I never said it!

What dog have you got?

We used to go to Frinton as a Sunday seaside treat when we were kids, loved it. 🏖

 

[Paulus]

Frinton has tried to come into the modern over the last few years.
There is now a Wetherspoons, and there is a very good fish and chip shop.

I hear you guys are in for 3 weeks of decent weather, which is nice. Had a couple of pieces of durian this morning - very welcome and tasty. Nowt much happening today, spag bol to look forward to for lunch, and mostly slouching apart from that. Have a nice day folks.

Where'd you hear that, and is it right to be spreading rumours such as that?
