The Retirement Thread

Coffee and a jigsaw I think. I suppose I should take advantage of such a dismal day to actually do some of that stuff......what's it called again.....oh yes, housework! Been so long I couldn't remember what it was called.

I don't care what I am called. I'm not bothered

Oooh! Can I go first?? 🤣

You want to be careful doing that stuff.

I am in shock.
I (stupidly) clicked on that transgender thread and was amazed to see that Mudsticks had posted on it. Wonders will never cease

Good day fellow members of the human race - will that do? Covers all possibilities I feel. I have now officially arrived for the day. It rained all night, it's rained all morning and is forecast to carry on raining. So......

Frankly the last two days have been shite. Horrible. All motivation gone. I hadn't just lost my mojo it had moved out and gone to live somewhere else. 🤣

Anyway. Forced myself to do Cardio Class last night and instantly felt better. Up and at 'em this morning. Washing done, dryer drying, tidying commenced, cleaning starts when Mrs P gets out of bed!!!

@dave r hope things are improving for your good lady.

I remember many years ago, going to a wedding in Chesterfield, I was quite unprepared to be called 'me duck' by so many people.
Is it Somerset where the term of friendship is 'me handsome'? It has a certain charm about it I think.

After a very sheltered upbringing I moved to Yorkshire as a young man. It took me a while to work out "bugger" was a term of endearment!

It was a thing in Kent too. When I was a kid, all the boys were 'little buggers'.

Excuse me !!!!! I may not be of the human race. How very dare you.
I will check that with Mudsticks and get back to you.

Me 'ansome is more a Devon/Cornwall thing, I think.

I'm feeling better this morning having been out on the bike yesterday, showered and a change of clothes this morning. I spoke to my Good lady this morning and she's feeling better, they are transferring her to Rugby hospital today and are going to work on her mobility.
