The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

As far as Mr WD and I are concerned, its just another day for us. We don't put decorations up and we don't go to any effort food wise at Christmas.

I seem to be the odd one out on here,,,, again.
I know Christmas is totally over commercialised these days and in most areas of my life I am a grumpy old git, but I just love every single moment of the Christmas season . The silly music , the silly films , the food, presents and decorations, just everything. 😀. Probably because it reminds of the terrific Christmas’s I had as a child . 😀
All I know is, on the 1st of December as you lot of grinch’s are ‘ bah humbuging ‘ , I will be putting up our Christmas decorations and our tree with a silly grin on my face . 😂😀😀.
Night night all .

I seem to have found a disadvantage to having a friend 5 hours behind us, who wants to chat in their late afternoon. Night all.

Ironing day today

Morning. 0 degrees here and icy windscreens.

Good morning all.
A chilly, bright start to the day here.
The washing machine is on again and Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies soon.
I'll cut the grass again later on, to make it look neater after yesterday's cut. It had got a bit too long.
Today's long dog walk will be via the Vets, one, to weigh Millie, and two to pick up some more prednisolone steroid tablets. Then as we have to pass the Mitre, maybe a pint or two.

Shopping day for us.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning folks.
Just sorting out the bookcase before heading to the charity shop. Some are so dog eared that they are for the recycling bin, others are pristine. Found a Haynes manual for bicycles 😁. I shall drop them off on the way to my doctors appointment to discuss my knee x rays, then meeting a friend at Toby Carvery.

Good morning chaps and chapesses.
Yep, cold here also at 3°. I think Mo will be getting some chilly willy walks in.
Very little to do today though I might chuck the dark washing in.
My biggest decision will be what to eat.

Second day on antibiotics here. Chest infection I’ve failed to shift for over 3 weeks 😷
Very annoying…..but a bit calmer after the first tablets yesterday.
Into town later with some pals for a wee talk on Leir of Leicester. I will sit near the back for easy escape if coughing commences 😳
Oh, & we will pop the tree up and some lights & decorations…..offspring home for Christmas, they enjoy everything about it 🎄

Morning all

Off to Bridgwater for some shopping this morning.
Hoping that the parts for my Montesa will arrive today, so I can get that back together and running again.

I've found a shepherd's pie in the freezer and a steak and kidney pie that I cooked some weeks back. Once defrosted MrsP will have the Shepherds pie, I'll have the steak and kidney. Just got to do some fresh vegetables and dinner is done.

Back from my wander. Just the riverside trail loop this morning. Very quiet. I only met one regular running. Blooming cold but it’s going to be a lovely day. I’d much rather have this than the gloomy weather we were having.

Odd how they call it Hand, Foot and Mouth in humans.
You in quarantine now?

It's not the same thing. I'm not expecting my carcass to be burned!!!!

Mrs P is keeping her distance! It's highly contagious.

Our friend in California usually calls around 8 - 10.00am her time. That works well for us all.
