The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning fellow retirees,

Lots of welcome rain yesterday. A friend who was caught in lockdown while visiting Scotland arrived back home yesterday. Her chap is still stranded up there as he lives and works in Bermuda and doesn't know when he will be able to go back.

Mrs Tenkay has first dibs on the turbo trainer this morning so I will try and head out for a run between showers, that is if my bolshie legs say yes. ( they went on strike on Wednesday evening, didn't mind pedalling a bike but objected to me trying to run)
Have a lovely peaceful day folks
🚲🏃🚶🌞

Morning. Our turn for the this morning. Quite heavy at the moment.

Morning I think.
Having a coffee while trying to decide on the Aldi dash Vs back to bed. I really dont know the winner yet.
Blue sky and sun at the moment.....hard to believe rain is forcast for 'all day'.
Kitchen looks like a bomb site after the dishwasher was fitted. Units had to be cleared. Son and girl friend cooked bacon butties. Nothing has been cleared or washed. Ohhh dear, back to bed seems to be winning.

Good morning folks. Another very misty start to the the day here. And we are in for more rain as well. Must get my flippers out I think.

Stay safe folks.

I have risen!

Motley already walked, but the countryside will be a quagmire so into him round the village. Its drizzling already, drearier than Keir Starmar at PMQ's.

Morning all,
After all yesterday's rain, the one little part of the shed roof I didn't refelt was leaking. A trip to B&Q beckons for another roll of felt, I used the roll I had and didn't have any left for one more length. It wasn't leaking at this spot previously.
The man is also coming this morning to fit a new double glazed panel in the back door, but with a microchip operated cat flap fitted into it.🐈

Good day to you all. It's a beautiful bright clear morning in Paradise......... forecast is 24% rain at 1.00 through to 76% at 5.00.

An ALDI run is needed but that will have to be this afternoon as there are a few allotment jobs to do. Strawberries and gooseberries urgently need netting amongst other bits. I feel quite enthusiastic today so may get on with this shortly.

Woke at 6.40 after a good sleep and calf feels much better - stiff when I woke but hardly noticeable now after moving around a bit.

My football team is to be broadcast on this iFollow thing. I need to try and get this going for my lad on his tablet. I'm not sure it will happen though. 🤔

No doubt Classic will be along soon to ask why you have a microchip operated cat!

I'm getting a bit bored sitting here now too. Not sure what to be up to.
