The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Bit of a weepy morning as it is 12 months since Sue died. I have had 2 lovely messages and each one made me cry.

I was reading this morning that to go up the Eiffel Tower at the moment cost 29 euros p.p. Next month, when the Olympic games start, it will go up to 35 p.p ! I hate this world we live where greed reigns supreme.

I have been up 3 times and tbh can't recall paying. I suppose I must have paid but it wasn't enough to register.

I have tried to watch that but just can't do it. Maybe tomorrow. But thank you for posting it.

Our neighbours have just gone away for a week in Paris - taking their kids to Disneyland and the Eiffel tower. Hope they realise how much it will cost them.

Morning
Done walking, chinese for lunch today

I enjoy Chinese for lunch as it doesn't overfill you.
Sadly the only local that did lunch has closed down.

Went to see Planet of the Apes in Kendal on Sunday (enjoyed the film).

A VERY small tub of plain vanilla ice cream was £2.95 The price was not prominent and when we asked and was told how much it was, we refused to buy it. Utterly ridiculous.

It's my way of saying you'll never truly forget her.

No insults intended

In Keswick, Cumbria today, taking Mrs BL on an "all our yesterdays" outing. We walked along Derwent Water lakeside, from Manesty to Keswick, had lunch, then, got the launch across the lake to High Brindlehowe, to walk back to Manesty. The launch was £13.75 EACH, and that was a "concession" price. Daylight robbery.

Lake Garda this afternoon. I didn’t realise it was so long. A 17 mile route which was only about half the length of it. Looks amazing.

I have just taken my daughter SiL and granddaughter for lunch. 4 meals and 4 drinks....£38.00..... very reasonable.

Supply and demand, I doubt many of us would sell anything for less than we can get for it. I have a different view on business compared with many who have never owned one.
