The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Countdown is my daytime TV, very tempted to be a contestant, but SWMBO has given me strict orders not to even think about it!

I used to watch that at one time and enjoyed it. What time of day is it on now?

I’ve never been a workaholic! In fact, if truth be told, I am a lazy beggar.......the most effort I put into anything is my cycling!

I would even go as far to say I was a more of a workaholic than Screenman!

I used to watch that at one time and enjoyed it. What time of day is it on now?

Normally about 2.15. I record it so I can go out in the afternoon.

No think, Do.

Ooooh. I can hear thunder in the distance. Apparently it was pouring down with rain in Aberystwyth.

A woman after my own heart.
I spent my whole working life trying to do as little as possible for as much return as possible.

There is a point to this.........
My 1st cancer op lasted over 8 hours and i lost over 3 pints of blood.
3 days later, when I first got out of bed, a scouser in the opposite bed said "bloody hell, you look like a bag of boiled shite".
Well I have just had an afternoon kip and feel exactly as he described.
Hopefully an early night and a good kip will sort that.

It's clammier than the gusset in Drago's Y fronts here.

I have just watched The Imitation Game, the film about Alan Turing. Hadn't seen it before and quite enjoyed it.

Bit of toast and a cuppa for supper and sit and try and cool down before even thinking about going to bed.

Such a dreadful thought. Its made me feel ill again.

Morning.

Im nearly a full time member of the team, my proposed retirement date is 31st July.
Retired at 47 and 7/8s.
I’ve had to have umpteen operations and other issues to get to this position so I don’t really consider myself lucky but I’ll be making the most of it!

onwards and upwards..

Hopefully you'll be feeling better in the morning, Today.

Just be wary of scousers turning up on your doorstep overnight.

I love that film. I've seen it four or five times and have the blu-ray so didn't bother with it again today. Danni and I saw at the cinema when first released. Inspired we went to Bletchley Park shortly after - a fascinating place with exhibits of the technical and social kind displayed in a sprawl of huts. Danni loved it there as she's a 'proper geek'.

Danni at Alan Turing's desk.

Now it's 29 degrees here.
Mad dogs and Englishmen can go out in the noonday sun if they want to.

They do and did!! 😀

Headed out with friends today on one of our favourite rides to Silverdale. It's a stunning relatively flat ride with only 4700 feet to climb in 112 miles. Tricky finding water, coffee and cake but we managed.

Got through 8 bottles today, 6 litres, and still got home 1.6kg lighter than when I set off.

Bit stiff now............

Eight pages of catching up!! What have you all been up to?
