The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

It always makes me smile when I see some of the descriptions in the local estate agent’s windows. “ Sea glimpses” is a particular favourite, along with “ (insert desirable area) fringe.

One I saw today - ''The property has an easily managed garden and is 'garnished with a light covering of Wisteria and Ivy' "
The place needed a good haircut.

Nearly time for Keeping Faith. That’s all I’m watching this evening.

How long is it on for?

Nice sunset over Padstow this evening.
Still no sign of Rick Stein.

An early night then.

What's he charged with?

An early night then.

Maybe, although if I go too early I don’t sleep well. Maybe a browse for an hour.

Bit of condensation on the window? Is it getting cold?

If that fails, an early morning walk!

What's he charged with?

Selling overpriced fish and chips....

Just watched Keeping Faith

Everyone in it is screwed up
kinda like real life

occurs to me that it is the exact opposite of CSI Miami
which is not bad thing

 

[rustybolts]

What's he charged with?

Beating up 2 women ( ugh!)

If found guilty, he should be banned for life.

My humble abode boasts views over the rolling Purbeck hills ( if I stand on a chair in the spare bedroom wielding a pair of binoculars) 😄

I stayed one night in a (very nice upmarket) B&B in Grange-over-Sands when riding The Bay Way. I think that "magnificent sea views overlooking Morecambe Bay" was an ever-so-slight exaggeration... (Street View picture taken about 40 metres nearer than the actual view from our window)

PS In case it isn't obvious... The B&B in question is way back behind the Street View car. We had to look across the road down that side road to spot Morecambe Bay in the gap between the buildings.

I have a great view of Casper mountain although it is a bit obscured by the two old toilets, one bathtub/shower surround and a couple of refrigerators in the yard. There is also my $200 trailer, my rusty 94 toyota PU and my 92 Previa to add to the ambiance. I wonder why all the neighbors give me the one finger salute.
Mo, I am surprised an elegant and classy feline such as Molly would use the word feckin when addressing her beloved Mo. Or, is that too catty?
