The Retirement Thread

The original names of the lorries were named after the girls that worked in the office I believe.

Friend of mine owned 3 trucks. They were named after his wife and daughters.

We cycled along the Grand Union Canal today, from Uxbridge, for a few miles. I think this is West Drayton, but, not certain about that.

You should surely be wearing lifejackets rather than helmets surely when cycling alongside canals. Elfin safety and all that.

Good morning all, a bright start today, already 17°. Will we make the magic 20 later ?

Morning all

Anotber nice day in the offing.
The traffic should have eased a bit this morning, so we'll venture into Barnstaple LIDL for our weekly shopping.

Funny you should say that. Mrs @BoldonLad asked “what if I fall in”. I answered “good point, how will I get the bike out?”. She was not amused.

Fortunately we don't pay, I presume its the council that picks up the bill, if I was paying I'd be having word later, as it is my Good lady has said leave it.

Yes but THEY ARE being paid.
MrsD had 6 weeks "free" care. Fortunately between us we are able to do most things eg she can't get in the shower but I wash her hair and her back while she can wash her body.
Never thought we would get old

I don't think most people think we will get old, I still don't feel old.
