The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

Wonder if they’ll put up any more expedition ones. I always do the step, walking and activity ones plus the occasional 5k running one. I did start the 10 hour running one but I’m only at 5hours 52 minutes so won’t finish that.

do you ever feel that you are repeating yourself???

The News is on and they are saying someone from the UK has won £177 million on the Euromillions Lottery!!!


WOOOOO

It could be us!!!


OK - we don;t actually do the Lottery any more
but I worked out many years ago that not doing it doesn't change the odds in any significant way in the real world
so not doing it hasn't changed out chances of winning by a significant amount

so it could still be us!!!!

Don't they require the ticket as proof any more.

Well yes - but in reality the odds of me needing to show it are the same if give them some money or not

i.e. naff all

(I should mention that I did win one million on the Lottery once
OK - it was a syndicate at work - 30 of us - so I was involved once but dividing by 30 doesn;t half cut the amount you get down!!!
I keep telling my wife that it is her turn now but she is basically not doing her part of the deal!!!)

I have returned. Nice and sunny here today

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Went for a walk in very pleasant winter sunshine, felt quite Christmassy, 3°. Could see snow on the hills over towards where @Mo1959 is. Could also see Ben Lomond, didn’t realise you could see that from here.
Lots of little birds dotting about, yellowhammers looking particularly good in the sunshine.

It's getting cold out there, nearly time to turn in for the night.
