The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

There was a lot of day dreamers in Sainsbury today, why can't they stay at home and do nothing

Bimble done, dog walking done, shopping done, hoovering done.
It's past the yard arm somewhere , so an ale is being imbibed and the Terrano-Adriatica is about to come on the tellybox.

Picked up a newspaper from the stores at Georgeham then drove down the combe to Croyde and walked the doggie on the beach. Quite bright out there but a bit nippy.
Back home for a coffee and then a stroll down to the village to pick up fish and chips.

Oh yes, its Friday isn't it ... that came around quickly.

Just on this....what weather apps do folk here find to be vaguely accurate?
BBC used to be decent enough, but got really bad quite a while back....I think after they stopped using the Met Office, although that doesn't seem much better now....last I looked at Accuweather it seemed more inaccuweather....

The BBC weather map is OK. Climacell seems to be OK as well. But none of them are great.

Be fair.
How are they going to annoy you if they stay at home

That sarnie sounds nice, so long as the bacon is not fatty.

I’m thinking I might treat my car to a valet. Firm in town does all different ones from basic to full clean outside and in and polish. Might be worth doing spring and autumn.

In the back of beyond, where I am, it is bloody freezing due to a very cold wind. Wood burner is on at full blast.

I had a bacon sarnie from Sarnies in Coundon. I phoned my Good Lady before I left town, found out what she wanted then phoned the order through to Sarnies and picked it up on the way home.

G'day folks... Where has this week gone, it's flown past! ...been very busy, that's probably why it's gone quick.

More catching up to do. Best wishes to both of you Dave7

I do that. A mini valet twice a year.....£15.00.
Money well spent imo

I used to enjoy Vera but now find every episode is the same.

Yes, our main enjoyment is spotting the locations. It is filmed in our area, but, the locations are jumbled up, and, not necessarily as near to each other as implied in the program.
