The Retirement Thread

[JtB]

Today is a very important day for me. After working for 39 years at the same company and at the age of 60 I have been given the option of taking early retirement. I don’t yet know the details but I doubt it will be offered again if I decline, so maybe by the end if this year I will be a fully signed up member to this thread.

A pleasant evening down the park, we walked aroung the Lake where the Model Radio Yachts were being raced, saw lots of newly hatched cygnets and finished off having a bit of a picnic while watching the Cricket. Warm and sunny, called for a beer 🍺

No @Dave7 today? I hope all is well.

He's been on, but, appears to have been reading more than posting.

Echo your thoughts though.

Progress at last!

I have been beavering away on my computer puzzle game and had made quite a few changes which I wanted to check on my phone. I work on my laptop but the finished game will be for Android devices so I need to test it on such a device from time to time. Development software that I use had been updated recently and one of the changes broke the Android Export process. For over a week I have been trying to get my head round what the error messages were telling me. I finally discovered someone online who'd had the same problem and had found a solution. I did what he had done and, sure enough, it works.

I just uploaded the game to my phone and it is working much better than the previous version, so I am very pleased.

That'll do for today. I'll treat myself to a nice mug of tea and a couple of episodes of House MD before turning in.

Oh, and tomorrow's weather forecast for this area is looking decent. I'll see if I can motivate myself to do a longer ride than usual.

Was walking the dog and encountered some Indian Paintbrush which is a parasite on sage plants, feeding on their roots. It is usually an orange-red but ours here are more yellow.

Morning. Looks quite nice out so might have an early bimble before the mojo disappears. Need to take it nice and easy though the way the legs have been feeling lately.

Good morning. Looks beautiful outside but only 7⁰ and at bedtime last night I wouldn't have been surprised to wake to a frost. Hoping for a decent day.

No real plans. A mountain of ironing to do. I'm going to plant out my runner and climbing beans, sweet peas, courgettes and dwarf French beans. Still not warm enough but I've reached the point of do it and see what happens.

Bits of household admin to do. Quite looking forward to today.

Read the paper while having a brew. I find I have less and less interest in the news these days. I did though stay up to watch the grubby little shoot on last night's news.

Time for a doze.......

Morning Dave. Thanks for the mention..
That sh*t fatigue hit me again. I would get up and then an hour later need bed again. I must have slept 15-20 hours.
Still groggy today but not as bad.

I have risen!

After ive walked Mini D school i have to nip over to the next village to collect my prescription. It looks like it may be a nice day, so after that I may sit in the harden and do some reading.

Good morning folks, I didn't hear the carer this morning, I must have must have gone back to sleep after I unlocked the front door, I came downstairs and my Good Lady was having her breakfast and the carer was writing up her notes.

Good morning all, 10° and overcast, supposed to brighten up a little later.

Good morning all.
The sky is blue and the early morning sunshine looks good.
I will be out and about on the bike later.
First off though will be the dog walk across the fields, we may well walk to one of the cafes/coffee shops, I fancy a fresh croissant or two for breakfast.
The front garden needs tidying up as all the daffodils and tulips have now stopped flowering and I have grown a lot of Dahlias that will go in in a week or son's time.

Living the dream.
