The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good afternoon everyone.
Dog walking done early as it was a nice bright start to the day.
Our daughter did a drive by to collect her birthday present and drop her old ish smart telly off.

I am now watching the Spurs game.

Another groundhog day in paradise.

I watched the Rangers game.
Now watching a film I recorded.
If I find Spurs are losing I will switch over .

You should go and have lie down in a darkened room . Will you be able to cope with anticipation, the excitement of the parcel arriving. Then realising you have the wrong b......y size.

Thanks, you've reminded me I had bibshorts delivered last week and haven't tried them on yet.

Something gives me the impression that you do not like Spurs

Excitement of the day for us is, the braised beef we were going to have yesterday but didn't because the beef hadn't defrosted yet. With roasted carrots and roast potatoes.

Well - according to another thread

Spurs players have been banned from owning dogs

apparently the RSPCA has found they are incapable of holding onto a lead

so you should be able to change over anytime

Numbnuts ?

 

[PaulSB]

No, he would would want a separate one for that, would not want to use in on his chain, after it has been in his mouth

But if he did his ears first he wouldn't need to wax his chain.......



Sorry.

Numbnuts ?

No ........it wasn't cold on the bike today

Took doggie for a walk at Broadsands.
It's usually pretty quiet down there.
Car park was as busy as it is on a Bank Holiday in August.
Surprising number of 'local' cars on London plates.

We were up the memorial park this afternoon, just the other side of Coventry, it was rammed, but it has been every time we've been there since the first lockdown. Its about the best place I've come across to take the wheelchair in Coventry, the best alternatives are outside of Coventry.

Drove 300 miles on Fri to Littleton Colorado in about 4 hours only stopping for gas and a whiz. Our interstate hwy speed limit is 80 mph and with the 40 mph tailwind I found myself hitting 90 from time to time, if I wasn't paying attention . My youngest son set up my new tablet but insisted on a Firefox browser instead of Google which I am getting used to. Saturday I drove back, stopping at the eldest son's place to see the new grandson, who is mighty cute. Those same tailwinds were headwinds now so the return was much slower. Good to be home.
Hoping to get some exercise today, maybe a ride, which would be very nice and definitely some core and stretching. Didn't feel that well for the last few days, which could have been the Covid vaccine on Thursday. Just a general malaise and aching, and of course, a sore arm from the shot. Second one in 28 days from the first.
Hasta luego...

The excitement of the day.......I have just bought a pair of slippers on eBay

That is nearly as bad as getting "an old ladies shopping trolley".
