The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I spend most mornings complaining it is just too early.
Saturday is different as I enjoy SoTS which starts at 6. But today my bed had hold of me and wouldn't let go...... it was 07.20 when I crawled out And I was asleep just after 9 last night.
Dry at the moment but rain is forecast for the day which is no good for my sports of cricket and golf. Footy will be OK though

Morning all

Chucking it down here!
Had a good evening at the beer festival in Minehead last night.
Friends coming over tonight for the last night of the Watchet Summertime festival - live bands, hog roast and fireworks down by the harbour.
Got some shopping to do this morning.

Another weekend, these are tough for me, so if I come across grumpy at any point I apologise in advance.

Good morning all.
It's raining as expected and due to rain most of the day.
We both slept in until 8am which is late for us.
A soggy dog walk to start and then some painting of the banisters and spindles which shouldn't take too long.

I get grumpy at the weekends too, but not due to lack of company. Quite the opposite…..too many people about!

Quelle surprise, the rain came on 5 minutes after setting off. Never mind, I still enjoyed my wander.

Good morning all, breezy again, sunshine and showers, feels like max of 12°. At least the wind is an improvement on the last few days.

I noticed the Swallow numbers are starting to dwindle. There was a few sitting on the wires all hunched up when I set off. I could almost hear their little brains thinking…….sod this, time to bugger off back to Africa!

I've just noticed that it's really misty over the hills. I can't see the tops of the trees.

Lidl shopping done, now Tesco will have the pleasure of my company.

Ours failed to arrive for around the fifth year in a row. Very sad.

The middle finger on my fretting g hand hurts a lot today. I don't recall injuring it, hope it's not arthritis. Will rest it, no music practice today.

 

[PaulSB]

I managed a doze, nothing special I'm afraid. I've been doing some general admin, tidying around and playing with the home energy display unit. It still doesn't want to tell me anything. I'll leave it on for a week and if it remains mute it can go back in the cupboard for another three years.......that'll learn it. Awkward bugger.

The rest of the day. I must do my stretches and 15 minutes on the stationary bike. I hate this bike thing but it's all part of the rehab. Then it's Rovers this afternoon, I'm feeling quite bouyant about today's game. We're playing well. Oxford are a newly promoted side and I expect a win.......this means my massive over confidence will guarantee a loss!!

I've decided to have brunch. Scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms and toast.
