The Retirement Thread

One of the bits of wildlife we found was this lovely coloured mushroom. I have tried to identify it but so far with no luck.

Morning all, exciting day ahead here as I have not got much planned after my morning swim, for sure I am going to enjoy the day, stay busy and not waste it, time is way to precious. Have a good one.

everyone. Sky is clear with little breeze. Forecast for 08.00-11.00 is 95% rain and winds gusting to 27mph 💦🌬🙁

We are planning to meet No.2 son at 10.30 at a local park to play bowls. 🤞

This afternoon I'm heading down to the LBS and expect to finalise the spec on the new gravel bike.

Good morning fellow retirees,
I've beed dabbling in kitchen rearrangement over the last few days, rehanging doors and fitting shelves. It's fair worn me out.
On the final stretch today with a promise of riding the Brommie to the pub this evening 🍻
Stay safe and have a peaceful day.🏊‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️☕

Unbelievably, its raining again. What on earth is going on with the weather?

It is rehydrating our green and pleasant fields. Around this time last year we had major floods locally.

A quick good morning.
Things here were better yesterday with MrsD eating a bit......not much but it stayed down which I hope will give her confidence to eat a bit more.
I have a few things to do today.
Aldi dash at 07.45.
Then straight to Home Bargains as they are very cheap for a list of items we need.
At 1400 I have a meeting at the aunties bank to finalise the PoA.
Then feet up

Good morning all,
A grey and cloudy start to the day here.

We are huge Springsteen fans in this house. The Boss never fails to put a smile on my face. We had been hoping there would be one last tour but Covid-19 has probably dashed that, our plan was anywhere in Europe and we would go.

Bruce is on the Graham Norton show tonight. I just wonder what he may be promoting? I've been thinking recently he should put on a live E-Street Band show for worldwide broadcast.

Stumbled across this cover of one of my favourite songs. Always makes me want to dance. Love this version

The Rising - Nancy Wilson

One of our friends has booked a slot for 6pm. It's for 2 hours. Last week we were able to extend it for an extra 30 minutes.
The pub is on the ball with regards to hygiene / distancing etc

Hadn't come across this before. How does it work? You book a table for two hours and then leave??

I think at least one of our number might struggle? 🤔😄

Cooeee. It is dark. I was awake ages ago but was really nice and warm so stayed in bed.

Apparently, according to the Covid19 ap, we are suddenly in a high risk area. .

Stay safe folks.
