The Retirement Thread

Morning all .
I slept till late this morning.......didn't wake until 05.40 .
Not much on today. MrsDs sister is taking her to a garden centre.......its just to take her out ie its horrendously expensive so I doubt they will buy anything.

Radio 2. I was just listening to Don McClean singing 'Crying'. I can't listen to that without thinking of that guy who sang it in Fools and Horses......the one who couldn't says his R's so it came out as 'Cwying'......I was crying laughing at that one.

Good morning folks.

I have risen!

Will take the dog form a walk along the canal today. The weather looks halfway decent.

Morning. Looked in earlier but nobody about. Strange that as it was 5am. Lol.

Had a jog or more of a plod as it felt really hard work today. Maybe the humidity and just tired legs with doing a fair amount the last few days.

Off for a nice soak now and then breakfast.

Hello world. How are we? Looks wonderful this morning. I woke up feeling as though I'd been knocked over by a steamroller - twice!!! Loosening up now.

I can recall how 25-30 years ago we had three boys under 6. We both worked, cooked, shopped, cleaned the house, kept the garden, entertained them etc.

Yesterday eight month old granddaughter was collected from parents at 8.00am and returned at 6.00pm. I was nackered!!! 😟 Did manage to do the housework as well but all the same........ what's happened in the last 30 years? 🤔

Haha.....our YOUNGEST granddaughter is 18.
Get used to it Paul as it never changes. It varies but stays basically the same.
Re' the steamroller.
Measure yourself. If you are now 10 foot tall it might have really happened

Good morning all, bright and breezy here.

Good morning. I can hear rain drops on the window pane so it must be wet outside. I was planning to ride to Rhyl to see my son this morning so might wait till this afternoon now and hope it brightens up by then.

Looks like we might be back into shorts, t shirts & sandals again today.

Morning all.

Not looked out of the window yet, but the better half tells me it's sunny in our bit of North Wales.

May do a homebrew

Good morning Folks,
A warm and sunny morning at last! The Patio door is open and as I type a neighbours cat has just come up the garden, poked its nose into the room and is looking at me quizzically.
There's a load in the washing machine about to finish, I've watered all the pot plants ( not the recreational variety, more the decorative ) After the visit from the Openreach engineers my internet speed has jumped from a degraded and often intermittent 29 Gb/s to a constant 70+Gb/s 👍
Must crack on, all this housework won't do itself 😄
Have a safe day folks

I trust you will have calf length socks if you are wearing sandals .
And maybe a knotted hanky

We had a fantastic route planned for today. It was either 100 or 130 depending on how we felt at the decision point.

Twenty minutes before the meet time we get the phone call. Granddaughter has a temperature of 38.1 and is coughing. She was coughing yesterday and it did cross my mind. She's going to be tested.

We are going for a test later and have started isolating.

🤞🤞

That's what I like to hear. Keep it that way for another week or so please. I will be down to check it out soon!

That would be fast enough for the whole street - Mb/s!!

I am awake unfeasibly early to make final preparations for my Devon trip. I think I had better make a checklist or I could see myself forgetting several things. Just while typing that I remembered that I haven't put the mounts for my 2 GPS devices on the new bike. Various cables and chargers to locate. And so on...

Oh, and 2 shop visits.

Catch you later...
