The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I've just had a shower and ready for bed

Is there a connection I am missing ?

Nice run out on the trike to keep the legs moving. One layer less of clothing and lighter gloves so must be getting warmer. More bird life on the loch tho' nothing spectacular.
I watched a pair of geese come over and wheel round and land on the old town dam. They must have some system of communicating as there was no hesitation as they circled round and landed together on the water.
Up at the docs. I notice they have a new hospital car emblazoned with yellow and green squares and the word 'Doctor" in large letters on both sides. Green flashers in the grill I think also but unfortunately deer cannot read and there is already a small dent just behind the driver's side headlamp. The last car got written off by hitting a deer as the drivers are probably not attuned to look out for eyes shining at the roadside and also do not know the prime danger areas.
This is supposed to encourage tourists to pull over and let them past but I hae ma doots. The horror stories I heard from doctors make you seriously wonder about the sanity of some drivers.

We haven't spoken for the last 53 years but so what.

low key small budget registry office do in 1976 for Mrs JK and I .I haven’t spoken since 1978 , Mrs JK speaks I listen.
This morning I “had a go” at the garden shed .

I know it doesn’t look a lot different, but I can get in and find things . I have so much lawn weed and feed , I may even put some on the lawn.

Good evening. Struggling to keep up with you lot today. We've been together 42 years and married for 40. There were 11 guests at our wedding. It was the night when who shot JR was revealed........yes we did all gather round the telly.

Speaking of telly even after 42 years I cannot understand the shite Mrs P watches on TV.

Tonight there are four women, all called Clare, living in a house. One of them owns the house, the other three don't.

There is a panel who have to work out which of the four Clares owns the house.

It's a crock of shite.

🎶There's four who share this room
And we work hard for the crack.
Sleeping late on Sundays
And we never got to Mass. ...🎶

Welcome to the real world! Hopefully you'll still be young enough to enjoy it.

Yes I’m retiring early, I applied for voluntary redundancy and somehow managed to get it.
