The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning fellow retirees,

I thought that getting older would make me wiser, but unfortunately that is not the case.
Had a delivery of essential supplies from the Brethren at Northern Monk brewery yesterday. I cracked open one of the cans last night " The Tuck Inn", a wonderful coffee oatmeal stout. It went down so well that I had a second whilst watching Elbow at Glastonbury on the beeb. The beer was in 500ml cans and looking at the label I see that it is 12%
Definitely a lazy day today 🙄

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚲🚶🏃

Morning reprobates. Been up for a while, but its mini D's 9th birthday and I've been watching her open her presses.

Pleasant walk done beside the river. I think it is slightly fresher. Saw a swan flying low down the river and then saw him/her in the water further down. A brief flash of a Kingfisher too.

We currently have sunshine out the back window but a very black and ominous looking sky out the front!

I have a friend that only enjoys 10 % or stronger. TBF he only drinks maybe twice a week and not stupid amounts.
I enjoy 5% but my tastebuds dont enjoy stronger.

So happy to hear the rain .... last few nights have been bad for Julie and the children with the heat ... neighbours 3 doors up had there third party in a row in their garden .... kept everyone awake until WELL after midnight .....
I've just been up and knocked on their door, a very bleary Ken answered the door ..."Good your awake, you kept us up late again .." i said ... " You ba*t*rd Dave " he replied with a wry smile .... me and Ken get on well ......

And it's pouring again ......

Morning all....we have a wet one here heavy rain earlier. Just a drizzle now when I let the dog out. Busy morning shopping in the builder's depot while it's too wet to work outside. 🌈

Morning all.
Up early today but sadly still no get up and go.
Been listening to Tony B with SOTS .......hard to believe his jokes can get worse but they seem to.
I may well go back to bed shortly.

Picking our youngest up in half an hour, he's only 2 and full of devilment... He normally comes Friday morning until Sunday evening but this weekend its Saturday to Monday. He has a calming effect on the girls and loves to play with our eldest, Connor, in the garden....
It doesn't matter how hard it rains today were all off to the lake in wellies and raincoats .... the girls have declared a "rainy play day" but thats been overturned as that means they spend the day in their pj's watching netflix !
The little ones mum's battle against cancer is being lost, so thoughts are turning to the future. We had him from birth until he was 9 months old and we have made it known that he is welcome back full time if we're needed ..... broke our hearts when he went to his new family... but they asked us to be his grandparents and with Social Services blessing .. we are ...
I look around at whining, frightened people panicking about a virus that might make them a little ill and ............................ time to stop .......

It's good to listen to the oldies and he does a decent job at it, but I do miss when Brian Mathews did it!

BTW....GWS
