The Retirement Thread

[The Rover]

Right, breakfast sorted, I’ve done the ironing and need to get ready for an hospital appointment, all I’ll say is that I hope the consultant doesn’t have big hands and long fingers......!

The day they collect, unless you put it out the evening before for that extra frisson of anticipation.

Wouldn't that be pre-bin day?

Ours has been frozen this year thankfully.

What a lovely walk earlier. Cloud lifted quickly and the sun came out. Even got too warm at points. So peaceful too. Only a couple of regulars.

Remember those words later!

Went out for a run and got back just before the rain started. Very mild out there, with a temperature of 15C forecast for later this afternoon. Today was the first day of this year that I've worn shorts instead of trackies. My legs looked like two milk bottles

On a different topic, Mrs Tenkaykev has announced that she is planning on starting a Masters Degree in History, she'll be studying with the O.U. History is her favourite subject, she already has a B.Sc Hons from Southampton but that was a medical/sciency thing.
I'm already getting a little frisson of excitement as I anticipate sleeping with a student

Crikey, can’t get my car MOT till 13th April! It runs out on 23rd March. Shouldn't need to use it anyway.

 

[PaulSB]

Well I'll be dammed if I'm going to get up at 06:00 it goes out the night before

Absolutely. Ours collect at 7.00am

Lucky if ours is here before 10.

You put yours out when they're due to come and empty them then, not before.

No, evening before. A Tuesday ritual. The colours have got so complex I have a calendar alert to remind me which to put out!!!!

....or you could just wait and see what everyone else puts out, unless your neighbours are like the doughball along the road that has put their brown one out today even although it’s next Tuesday!

I was surprised when the local garage gave a large intake of breath when I popped in to book mine. Just sneaked in with days to spare.

I drove 3100 miles in the last 12 months. I cycled 8000+. Seems to be a good balance.

Break time over. On schedule to head out to No 3 son at 1.00pm.

Yep, tried that. Spent the evening popping in and out to see who had put out what. My friend two doors down has alerts as well.

We are discussing a spreadsheet for 2022. I like a good spreadsheet. It's a man retirement thing.

If you go into the council website I think there is a calendar with it all marked down that you can print, at least there is up here anyway.
