The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

The Eagle has landed.

It's been an 'interesting' day.
The first site that we'd booked on to turned out to be like the Somme!
We'd been there before a few years ago and it was fine. Couldn't even get onto the field this morning! Shame really, as we had a lovely time there 3 years ago.
Asking for our deposit back later.

Told the farmer that we would be moving on to a site just down the road, which has hard standing. We'll stay on the new site until Friday then move on to a nice looking site near Marazion - which is a lot cheaper.
Been a long day - will sleep we'll tonight!

Snake and pygmy pie with chips today. Still raining here.

Got me thinking that.
I was going to have a chicken n salad sarnie but have changed my my mind. It will be pizza n chips.

Mild, dry but very blowy here. Time I was getting out. I’ve sat here for too long already.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Good morning all, mild and sunny but windy. Will do the cleaning then see about getting out.

Good morning folks, daughter and granddaughter arrived back from Girona yesterday. I used " FlightRadar " to track their journey in real time all the way into Bournemouth. Looking forward to catching up and hearing of their adventures. Mrs Tkk and I were late to the " Race around the World " TV program having only watched the last series set in Canada. We watched the first episode of the new series set in Japan last night. It's edited well, making the mundane seem nail-biting and steering the viewers to liking / disliking various characters so you remain engaged. Meanwhile I am off out on the Brommie soon, need to get more time on the bike as both Mrs Tkk and myself will be at the Brompton World Championship event in London in a couple of months 😎

Morning all.
Once again the "Retired" thread had disappeared only to tell me it was on 'ignore'. I realise it's possible to touch the ignore button by mistake but it happens too often for that.
Anyone else affected by this or is CC trying to tell me something

 

[Dave7]

Anyway, it's dry but surprise surprise, rain is due later.
Another exciting day in store.....its black bin day.
Lunch time pub visit today.
Big footy match on tv later.
Have a good day everyone.

It's a glitch in the Matrix Dave 😮
It happened to me too. There's a sub forum I follow which the app tells me I have on " ignore " which I don't. I have been on the sub forum and checked all the settings and selected " ignore " in case the button is toggled backwards and does the reverse of what it says, all to no avail.

Hi

Good morning all. It's a cloudy start to the day, it has rained overnight and some more is forecast for late on.
I'm taking MrsP out to lunch at a pub called The Old Guinea in a nearby village called Ridge. It is really an Italian restaurant and the food is excellent.
@Tenkaykev when is the Brompton world championship? I may well pop along to watch.
