The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Excitement over for one day, skip lorry came, walked the dog and just like @Mo1959 I'm having skidmarks on a raft for lunch!

Amazing. You get the skip lorry to walk your dog

Dent just fixed on a friend of a friend's car, took me 30 minutes, they had been quoted £825+vat from a bodyshop.

Just out of interest I enquired at a major caravan dealer near me for them to change the brushes and covers on my motor movers.
They quoted £180.
I did the job myself for £40 and it took about 15 minutes.

Back from golf.
We teed off at 10.20 at which time the light drizzle we were promised decided to turn into p*ssing down that lasted the next hour. Not very nice.
Lunch will be crusty bread with cheese and cherry tomatoes

At the moment its called "closed" but it reopens next Wednesday

And then what'll it be called, given you play short course.

Car dropped off at the garage at half eight this morning and I couldn't believe how quiet it was, we have three schools and a nursery near us and normally its bedlam round here at that time, I'd usually expect five or ten minutes just to get out of our road, it only took five minutes to get to the garage.

Your garage is near Harrogate!
Will they count that as essential travel.

Was meant to get to the new Terminal 21 Shopping Mall, but rain stopped play. Anyhows, today is and 🥵, so no excuses

A stop at Pattaya beach, notice it's near empty, thanks to Covid 19

Each floor of the Mall represents a different city, not sure where the driver's gone[1]

The 9 1/2th hole.

Bedlam is a small village in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England situated north of Harrogate. Its name most likely came from Old English Botlum = "at the buildings", or its Old Norse equivalent, and not the same origin as Bedlam insane asylum.

The 9 1/2th hole.

How'd you get 1/2 a hole?

Well as you ask......and I know your question is genuine.......she did sort of give me a Brazillian. Sadly, after she did the right side, the battery died. I am slightly lop sided now

Was watching a trad archery YouTube by Gary Chynne in which he advised something like.."Don't complain about old age, it doesn't last that long." Going to be windy for a while around here, but the water in the toilet isn't going up and down with the gusts so it ain't too bad.

Covid 19 sign put up by Steve, the landlord of the Poltimore Arms not far from here.

You have to be a very good** golfer.

**for good read drunk.
