The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Sat in the garden with 3 bottles of port and a jizz mag. I hope retirement is like this every day.

Sounds like you'll fit in fine.

MrsD bought a big bag of Mealworms yesterday. She them realised that it was actually a bag of Mealworms and Calciworms ( whatever they are).
The birds should like the calciworms, they taste like a grittier version of a mealworm.*

*Well.....I had to try at least one of them.

All together now.........'Yay! It's ---- ------ ' (fill in the blanks).
Uncle Ernie deemed fit to give me £25 this month.
MrsD has a hair appointment at 11.30, so I'll wait in the George until she's done.

Spag bol for us.

To make matters worse, my cold water tank ballcock must be needing fixed as I have a dripping overflow which often starts around 3am and the drips hit the windowsill of one of the windows so it's like Chinese torture.

I WAS going to suggest asking Welshie to help as she knows a thing or two about balls and cocks.
Then I realised I had my best behaviour hat on and decided not to be so childish

Well I only intend to retire once, so may as well get leathered.

Ignore me, just trying to have a laugh. I only drink port at Christmas time. I'm actually in the garden with 24 Tennents Super.

Been awake now since 3.00am. Granddaughter collected, driven home, walked, breakfasted, bottled, changed and now sleeping.

Nackered.

I'm going to bed. 😴😴😴

Phew! It's warming up out there!
Off down the village after a quick cuppa.

Re the ballcock.
From memory the arm has a screw thread which you can easily turn so as to stop the flow.
You can google it and there are loads of you tube clips to help you.
It is really simple......it must be if I can do it.
