The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Slept so well last night.
Asleep before 2230 and slept through till 0600....... didn't even get up for a pee AND the bed was dry.
Now you WILL be interested in this phenomenenomenom thingy. Got up at 0600 and 'enjoyed' a really good pee (you know the feeling). Got down stairs and within 5 minutes needed another pee AND it was another good one.
So fellow pee experts... whats all that about ?

Stay safe folks.

Good morning fellow retirees,
Spent a few hours yesterday sanding down Mrs Tenkaykev’s shed ( and no lads, thats not a euphemism). Surprised how much it tired me out. Following Welshie’s Premium Bond kerfuffle I was straight into the app this morning but no Prize this month 🥲
Another day of DIY beckons,

Stay Safe folks

Yay! It's Fish Friday again!
Blimey, that week went quickly.

Talking of our villages being in the news this week......ours was as well.
Young Max from Braunton has been in the news for sleeping outside in a tent for a year and raising money for charity - 1/2 a million so far.

They cost so much due to the vast amount of fabric that is used.

A picture from my facebook page from 7 years ago. my Good Lady has a big doll, stands 2 foot tall, she brought it from Whitemores Antiques in Shenton. What I did that morning was to set it up at the table with a dish and a spoon before I left for work so when my Good lady got up it was sat there as if it was having breakfast.

Lovely sunny day again and just been up the garden to open up the sheds to try to dry them out a bit inside. Not cold at all here but didn't look at the actual temperature.
Bumble bees prospecting around. Hope they get somewhere before next week when the forecast is minus one. Not inside my sheds tho' as I like to keep the doors shut at night to stop cats getting in and taking up residence overnight
I am rich this month £50 from Ernie.

Classic My memory takes a bit to get warmed up nowadays. In haymaking after the rows had dried on the ground we made coilles or coillies as the first stage towards ricks which were bigger. This does not really make sense so far a gaelic is concerned but that is the term used by my grandparents who both spoke gaelic but mainly used english in practice.
Off for breakfast and then back out on trike early I think.

Nothing again for us this month.

Nothing again for us this month.

I was celebrating how I was "ahead of the curve" statistically with my returns over a 12 month period. Inevitably a few fallow months followed. hopefully I'll be back on track soon, and there's always that small chance of a Biggie 🤞🤞

Yep......I keep hoping the phone will ring on the 1st of each month, or whatever they do to let you know.
