The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

So, here I am. Good morning. I could have been here a lot earlier. Another poor sleep. Or is it? I was in bed for 9.30pm and slept till 2.45am - 5+ hours - then dozed till 4.00am when I got up. I don't know, feeling quite chipper at the moment.

Today is November 29th. Forty four years ago today Mr and Mrs P tied the knot. It's been up, down, rocky, fun and lots of other things. We have a decent home, three excellent sons, two beautiful granddaughters - by 2.00pm today it will be three!!! Pretty damn good in my view. Yes, you read that right #3 small person will arrive today - Mum has elected for a C section. She will be baby Quin.

Tonight we're eating out with friends at a new Greek restaurant in town. We hear it's good. There's Baklava on the menu, so my dessert choice is sorted. I hear the milk person has just been, one more cup of coffee before I.......................clean the fire, empty the dishwasher, iron................

Weather - light breeze and a ridiculous 11⁰ 😱

Happy anniversary!

If you are ever down this way I am very partial to a hot sweaty woman. The hotter and swettier the better

One of the most offputting things we learnt about said host during his spell on Strictly was that he never wears underpants
I see this got a further airing yesterday, so to speak.

Yes, heard that one yesterday. Not pleasant really. I didn't need to have this reported on the BBC news.
