The Retirement Thread

[Gunk]

Morning. Gosh, no posts since my last one. Quiet in here!

Just having a quick cuppa then heading out for a longer walk. I like my Sunday mornings when most peeps are still in bed.

They were all out partying last night

How weird.
I am sat in the conservatory in confusion.........I absolutely KNEW it was Monday but the radio programme I am tuned to only airs on Sundays. So I thought, is it a Bank Holiday I am unaware of?
It has honestly taken me an hour to realise it is actually Sunday.... strange.

Morning. There’s been a lot of precipitation here overnight. It’s a bit of a worry because we haven’t got much of a roof, we’re in the midst of a loft conversion. So far no leaks.

Kettle’s on.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Even the cats don't want to go out it's raining so hard.
I don't think there will be any bike riding today. So dog walking followed by some domestics and then armchair sports. Cycling and football on the telly box.
I've got a nice piece of pork loin for tea tonight, with apple sauce and all the trimmings.

Morning all

Breezy day ahead but forecast sunny, so should be quite nice.
MrsD wants to go to the garden centre this morning to get, in her words, "a bag of dirt".
Sunday lunch booked at the Masons Arms.

Was musing, the other day, about finances.
It's odd that I'm far better off now than I've ever been in my life, despite being retired for 10 years.
We manage to combine a reasonable standard of living without worrying about money. In fact, we are currently saving a fair bit.
How did that happen?!
Yesterday, MrsD transferred another 10k each into our PB accounts. I'm hoping for the big one next month.

Why are you so surprised? It has been like that here in N.Wales for the last 3 days.

Good morning all, a dull and damp one here. Feeling bereft cos there’s no classic to watch this afternoon. Stage races aren’t the same.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Wetter than a party political broadcast here in Poshshire.

I know. I just like the idea that we here in Wales have sunshine while on other parts its awful weather.

A chilly 9.2 mile walk done. Never really warmed up. I think I should have put a warmer jacket on. Nice though.

I knew it was Sunday as soon as I read Mo's post. Rain is forecast for the rest of the day, so no bike ride is planned, but a swim at Woodhall Spa outdoor pool later this afternoon is planned. Keep smiling, all you nice people, and have a great day.
