The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

So sorry to hear that Mr Screenman.
You may not be aware but my wife/soul mate of 54 years passed away in June. It hurts, every day.
You were very helpful to me when on here and gave me some good advice.so I am pleased to see you back but not in your situation.look after yourself.

Very sorry to hear that, as you know I was missing for a good while, so I have not kept up with news. The pain is terrible, so hard each time you meet someone for the first time, a lot of tears going on.

Cold and grey here and that is not just my mood, off for a short bike ride then a 2k swim later, keep smiling guys, it makes everyone feel better. Now a big question, do I buy a Ribble E bike, Pam kept telling me too, but I am still undecided.

If it makes you happy and of course name it after your wife
Take care

Just finished watching the Marathon. We watched it " live " on iPlayer catch up after we got back from junior parkrun. What an excellent race with two of our athletes finishing third and fourth in the mens race 😎😎

Hi

How

 

[Drago]

I have risen! 1st!

I'm going visiting today.

Good morning all. I am in a generous mood so have 2 s on me.
Today I am having my new kitchen fitted. The old one has already been ripped out. I failed to ask so have no idea how long it will take.
I am having extra sockets fitted plus some more in the garage as the tumble drier will be in there.
Not looking forward to it all but it will be nice when finished.

Good morning all.
It was a sunny start, but has now clouded over. It was a bit cool over night, the heating clicked on first thing.
The first of the bin lorries have been down our road, that's the recycling one. The general rubbish one follows in a couple of hours.
Dog walk as normal then up to the high road to get some more carpet cleaning solution so I can do the hallway.

Morning all

Off to Minehead for some shopping today.
I might set about the Bantam engine rebuild when I get back, as I have all of the requisite parts now.

Coooeeee. 6 deg and dry here. Not much planned today.

Stay safe peeps

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning, grey but not particularly cold here. Nothing planned.

Up shaved and showered, not a clue what today will bring, possible more sorting out of cupboards and drawers if it keeps raining, like it is right now.

I had to get my daughter to clear all my wife's clothes and jewelry.......too painful to do it myself.
Have you got anyone that can help you sort things out ?

A walk into Wimborne to top up on pitted dates and unsulphured apricots. I will bake a cake when I get back, our running club has an annual challenge that as well as running in various events also includes a " Bluebell Bake off "
Next Monday evening we will all meet up at Pamphill on the outskirts of Wimborne and have a social walk through the bluebell woods. This is followed by the judging of individual cakes, with the winner having to judge the following year's event. I'm keen to win as that would mean me having a piece of every cake next year 🍰🍰🍰
