The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning people. Last night we had an uninvited guest, one of the biggest spiders I've seen for a long time, an impressive beastie, I spent ten minutes watching it explore our lounge, it had an impressive turn of speed across our laminate floor but didn't climb well, but it was making my Good Lady nervous so when it started climbing our back wall I evicted it, chucked it out in the back garden.

Good morning. My god it's a bit nippy this morning.

Stay safe folks.

Morning all

Off to Barny this morning to fill the car up and get some shopping.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Enjoyed a nice bank holiday lay in. Muttley walked. Cool out, but cloudy and very still, not a breath of wind. Autumn ahoy!

Good morning all,
A lovely start to the day here. Out with the dog soon and then another day watching the tour.
If the grass dries out enough I will cut the grass as it is growing very quickly because of all the rain recently.
MrsP is out to lunch on Boris with one of her friends and then going to a rose garden afterwards, so the day is mine 😀

 

[Dirk]

Don't forget, folks. Eat Out to Help Out ends today.
I'll be doing my bit at lunchtime.

Yes, its that time of year. They came inside looking for a mate. I read t'other day that there are some big ones this year.

We would love do it but we just dont have the appetite at present. Shame as our local does 2 for £11.00 which I assume would be 2 for £5.50.
Having said that we had an M&S roast yesterday.......just one between us but a big improvement.

Yes, I read that, I suspect they're just looking for somewhere warm to spend the winter.

Morning. Gosh it's getting really dark in the mornings now. Think I will just walk this morning. May or may not bimble later....I shall see how I feel.

Mo. Just to save Classic the trouble. It doesn't "get really dark in the morning"....... it just stays dark longer.
Or
Gets light later

It gets early later, and later earlier...

 

[Dave7]

Morning gang.
Well......
Mo is bimbling
DIrk will be stuffing his face at lunch time (nothing new then)
Paul is playing with his plums
Now..... . What shall I do.
Oh yes, MrsD has some jobs lined up. I tried to plead that its bank holiday so I am entitled to a day off. She claims every day is a holiday for me

 

[Dave7]

It gets early later, and later earlier...

But if it get early later and later earlier when is lunch time ??
Vital that Dirk knows or he will miss his last Boris meal.

I read somewhere that they are allergic to some plants but can't remember which one. It stops them from coming into your house.
