The Retirement Thread

[yello]

Even though I am a nasty, selfish schmuck, I find being kind to other people or even my pooch gets me out of my obsession with myself and probably does me more good than it does them.

I'm sure you're not those things (our own opinions of ourselves are often the worst out there) but I know what you mean. I can be ill-tempered at times but I cannot ever be mean to our dog! She doesn't deserve that. She wags her tail and smiles when she sees me. It moves me. Truly it does. I can't be mean. And more to the point, and as you say, takes me out of myself - and out of my own self absorption.

As I learned from a British bowyer on YouTube.. Don' t worry about getting old. It doesn't last that long.

Thank you! That's made me chuckle!

I've been for a bimble this morning, 31 miles, the short route to Hatton and back, my longest ride since January, since my Good lady has been house bound I've kept the rides short and used the lanes this side of Coventry, this morning a friend of ours was coming over to see my Good Lady so it gave me a chance to ride a bit further afield so I rode across Coventry and headed out towards Balsall Common, turned past the Berkswell windmill and onto the main road past The Honely Boot before turning into the lanes, through Haseley Knob and onto Hatton, I did a circuit of the village then turned back into Firs Lane then changed my route slightly to ride through Beausale then used the same route back as I did out. A lovely bright sunny morning with a gentle breeze, a bit chilly at first but warming up nicely as the morning progressed, I was cold during the first part of the ride but too hot when crossing Coventry at the end of the ride. It was a good morning out on my bike, I enjoyed that.

I see the woman opposite with no clothes on every day.
Bloody awkward sat on top of the wardrobe while holding binoculars.

Just back from my second COVID-19 jab. Just over 13 km round trip over the Heathland. They said they’re getting a few people with letters advising them of appointments that have been brought forward. They had to find my name on the original list for this coming Friday and cross me off. Glorious sunny and warm day, I deserve a beer 🍺☀️👍

Ah that smell...

I've worked on a lot of submersible Sewage pumps, they're everywhere, every town and village has them, usually a small green cabinet will reveal their location.

The Village I live in is on the top of hill , we have one of those Green cabinets on the road out of village it’s the size of a small garden shed . In the past 20 years it has failed or there has been a pipe blockage or collapse at least 3 times . Our house is at low point on the village drain network and this happens.

Sorry it’s gruesome. The last time it took 3 visits from Thames Water investigation teams for them to admit that it was there problem and not the drains on my property.

They really are horrific! Apart from 'willy rot', the same medical website had photos of traumatic injuries including lacerations, 'unsleeving', and even amputation. Unless you have a very strong stomach, stay away..

Definitely not looking at that! I often wonder how I survived in the prison service as there were often quite nasty self harm incidents. I can still picture cell floors where someone had cut up badly and there were pools of congealed blood.
