The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I popped off to browse the Guardian before making breakfast. This is the first item I stopped at. Coca Cola's share price dropped by 1.6% or $4bn.

Ronaldo

Yesterday I noticed a headline he had scored for Portugal. I had forgotten him and imagined he was retired. I had to Google to discover he's now 36 and playing for Juventus.

Is it me or surely there are more important things in the world?

Wot about 🥦🥬🥕🌽🥒🫑🧅🧄 on your allotment.

Yes, I must check the watering before I go cycling.

Morning all

Another nice day coming up.
I do hope that @welsh dragon hasn't left the thread. I'll really miss her if she has.
I can understand getting peed off with folk at times. There's been quite a few times on this thread, that I've felt like giving someone both barrels but have had to bite my lip. We're all different, with different outlooks and values, but we all have something in common. That's what makes it enjoyable.
Fortunately, we generally tend to bump along together OK - that's something that we all have had to learn to do in our long lives.
The occasional spat is only to be expected, but we're pretty good at kissing and making up.

Watery sun this morning with moderate breeze. Need to wait and see what the rest of the day brings but rain not forecast.
I admit I snapped at WD but without bringing other people into it I thought it was an insensitive remark. Nuff said.

Is that an offer?

Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
(Just in case those hard of hearing didn't catch it 1st time).
Another evening when I was knackered and was in bed, asleep, by 2000.
Woke up a couple of times and enjoyed a good pee.
Eventually woke at 0500 and now sat enjoying a coffee.

Have you done anything about ordering an e-bike yet? Never heard you mentioning it again. Just had an email from Ribble advertising some and the hybrid e-bike got the Tech-Radar e-bike of the year.

Sadly Mo I am still struggling with my balance. There are days when I feel I will be ok then days (mornings in particular) when even walking straight is a problem.
Me and MrsD were just talking about that same thing.
I can afford it but hate to spend the money and not use it.

Yes, I promised Mrs @BoldonLad, when we reached 75, we would switch to e-bikes, that is next year! I have been looking closely at the Ribble Hybrids.

Well move quickly. They have a 3 months waiting list.

Even better than a red squirrel, just had a pine marten on the feeder
Wasn’t quick enough for a photie though.

Morning all...Sitting here waiting for a phone call appointment from my GP, expected any moment now. Nothing serious I've got a skin tag in my ear making wearing my hearing aid uncomfortable.
Carrying on with a bit of topiary later giving the Thuja a good trim.
Have a good day folks!
