The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

Rain was forecast for much of the day here so I didn't think I'd bother getting my bike out, but then I got a call from my bubble pal. She had been over yesterday but went home this morning before I woke up. She'd got all the way home and then realised that she had left her phone behind...

Sounds like a job for... Phone Delivery Man!!!!

How did Ms Bubble call you? You had her phone.

Landline?
Possibly, maybe, could have...

Ha ha - somebody is paying attention!

Most of us here have landlines as well as mobiles (cell phones). We usually get our broadband internet over a landline connection and often have a phone hooked up to that too, although increasingly calls are just made on mobiles. I get all my calls included on the mobile for only £6/month but call costs on the landline are ridiculously high so I never actually use my landline for calls these days.

My pal has a better landline deal than me so it doesn't cost her much to use it for calls as well as internet. She called me from her landline phone!

In contrast, my sister lives somewhere where the mobile signal is poor so she tends to call me from her home landline unless she is out and about somewhere with a decent signal.

Been a nice day here. Got all my washing dry so hoorah.

Our washing took the entire day and only just finished drying in the tumble dryer!! 😳

All the bed linen was white this week - two loads. Both duvet covers needed washing, a coloured clothes wash and then towels. Five washes in total and we do wash ourselves most days!!

Like a warm fart of a cold day, I have risen!

Today I will finish building the work bench in my bike shed and install the pill drill, vice and bench grinder. If that doesn't take too long then ill get out for a short ride in the ebike, see how I do. Then more band practice tonight. Busy day.

Good morning folks,
The rain has stopped and the sun is shining ☀️☀️. Planning on trying the legs out with a short run. Tonight we’re down the Park with friends / granddaughter so feeding the Ducks is on the agenda 😁

Good morning peeps.
A cloudy start to the day here.
The usual dog walking shortly and then down to the sons place to make a wooden frame for a concrete shed base he is going to lay.

That will see the morning out so I may be able to get a pint or two in at the Mitre.

Stay safe everyone

Morning all

Sun's shining at the moment.
Was woken at 4 am by a bloody Cuckoo givin' it some about 50 yds from our van. Damn thing went on for seemingly ages.

Another bright sunny day for us by the looks of it.

Stay safe folks

Good morning all, another cold and damp start here in Lothianshire. Supposed to improve a little later.

Planning on trying the legs out with a short run.

I wished I hadn't bothered Worst I've ever felt I think. Legs like lead and the heart rate and breathing were way up even on the flat let alone the slightest rise in the road.

Morning everyone.

Bad night last night with bad neck and head. Drugged up to eyeballs with dihydrocodeine.

Half a ton of slate arriving today too which will need wheel barrowing 🥵
