The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

 

[rustybolts]

Heading off for a Sunday morning spin , lots of water on the roads but very bright front light to point out pools on narrow roads. Banana consumed and half a cheese sambo !

Good morning gang. It's dark and misty, just like Drago's Y fronts.

is the order of the day as well as continuing to make a leather journal what I started yesterday.

Stay safe folks

Good morning fellow retirees,
Is it Sunday again?
Nothing planned for today so I might sort out putting my camera + lens on Ebay. It's a Nikon digital SLR and a 24-70 lens, it is getting a bit too heavy so I tend to just use my phone camera now.
That will be extra beer tokens or perhaps another bike...

Have a lovely peaceful day folks

I was listening to Barry Ryan while ironing today.

Eloise ......great song.
Sadly I remember his mum .......but she was a good singer and presenter.

Good morning people

 

[Dirk]

Good morning all

Off out to the moors for a long walk this morning.
Starting to get stir crazy already!

 

[Dave7]

Hardly use one now. Used to hate the weekly ironing of 7 shirts for my week’s duty.

MrsD has, throughout our 53 years marriage insisted on ironing even my hankies.
Its only recently, with her not being well, that I have convinced her to stop doing it.
I mean, she irons the hankies and folds them, then irons them again. I open one, screw it up and stuff it in my pocket, crazy.
Like you, I don't wear shirts now. For everything else the tumble drier has this brilliant 'ready to wear' setting so all my T shirts go straight on a hanger

 

[Dave7]

Are they looking for volunteers?

Bloody hell Dirk, if you are that keen you can lie down and I will p*ss on you

 

[Dave7]

never really understood why that is a thing

probably just me

It could be useful if you are a bit cold perhaps.
What always puzzles me about that sort of thing is....... who was the first person to think "oh, I know, I will lie down while you pee on my head".
Plus, how did it catch on ??

It's a Nikon digital SLR and a 24-70 lens

Is that the super duper pro lens? Great reviews but heavy! I have a D500 with a few lenses but hardly use it now either. Must make more effort.

Not long back a 9 mile jog, nice bath when I got in and now sat down with my cereal.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A damp misty start to the day here. With possible rain later.
Depending on the weather we are going for a walk with our daughter.
Tea drinking may be the most strenuous activity of the day.

 

[Dave7]

@PaulSB I see our Harvey Elliot is still doing it for you.
Can only be a win win win for him and both our teams.
