The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Just back a 10k run. Bit drizzly but mild. Off for a steep in the bath now before breakfast.

Mo...... I can't remember my last bath.
No, I don't stink, I shower.
When I worked away I would have a soak in the bath after a days work but at home its a shower.

 

[Dave7]

Did you wear your pants outside your trousers as well?

Pants ???
When I were a lad we couldn't afford pants.

My bathroom is badly needing replaced but still haven't got round to it, between trying to find a plumber that's not too busy and Covid, I haven't bothered too much but will need to get it done. I thought about removing the bath and just having a shower cubicle but starting to think I would miss the bath so might just replace the bath in the meantime and get a walk in shower maybe ten years or so down the line when I'm getting too decrepit to clamber in and out of the bath.

Morning all, gloomy and breezy here. Another day of nothing awaits.

Just read that the vaccine is being manufactured in Belgium. Oh.

If you chuck a few teabags in the water before you get in the bath, eventually your skin will look like you've been on an expensive medditeranean holiday 😉

Good day folk.
Up a bit late for a Saturday so missed part of our Tony with S.O.T.S. However he did play House of The Rising Sun, so a decent start to the day.
BIG day today.
We have gifted MrsDs car to daughter and SiL
She mainly used it to care for her cousin and her auntie (out of love, not paid).
The cousin sadly passed away recently and the auntie will not be in a rush to go shopping and the car is not really getting used.
So...... they are coming for lunch** and to collect the car.
**she is bringing a veggie casserole meal.

Age does creep up on you Mo and will one day bite you on the arse.
We had ours done, maybe 10 years ago. We now regret not having a walk in shower.
Needs some serious forward thinking (which we didn't do).

Aargh, I've been up for an hour waiting for imminent arrival of gas guy. 3 hours sleep not enough!

 

[Drago]

Damp and drizzly out there.

Pants ???
When I were a lad we couldn't afford pants.

Pants? You had pants? We had to use......

no, no, no...........let's not start on one of these, goodness knows where it would end up!

Morning all....A wet rainy start to the day, perfect excuse to have a lie in and not feel guilty.

Unusually for me I went back to sleep for a few hours, what day is it?
