The Retirement Thread

[rustybolts]

Turkey will be cooked in 65 mins , have downed a few Guinness and am watching the last 2 episodes of The Sopranos final series 6. Ran 7.3 miles last night at 2.30 a.m. . Think I will stay up for a few hours and snooze on and off in the armchair , throw another few logs on the fire and get into the Christmas Spirit! Have a great relaxing day everyone

The cupboard door is kept shut with a magnet but it is too weak now so the answer is to keep the kitchen door shut. That will keep the dog out.

Glad we got that sorted.

Good morning. A very Happy Christmas to you all. However you choose to celebrate, or not, today I hope you have a good day with family and/or friends.

We will be with our three sons, DILs and granddaughters. #1 son is hosting. I hope Mrs P is driving.......

Today hasn't started well. We have a glass kettle. The kettle had just boiled. I have dropped the kettle. Apart from a kettle no one was harmed in this incident. Luckily.

Good morning and a merry Christmas to you all.
Daughter and Son in law are coming over around midday .
I'll be out with the dog soon and then I'll be busy in the kitchen. I've got a couple of decent bottles of red to keep my spirits up.
Enjoy your day everyone. 🎅

I have Wordled (just 🫣).
Aside from mince pies, I am mostly looking forward to Vengence Most Fowl then Gavin & Stacey (we binged the lot over the past month, what a cracking series!).

Have a good day all 😎👍

Good morrow to one and all and I wish you all a merry Christmas.

I hope Santa's been good to you and you've all got what you wanted.

Morning all, I have just woken up in a nice hotel in my favourite city, Christmas day is going to be a lot nicer than I thought it would be a few weeks ago. Enjoy your day.

I have messaged all my family to wish them a Merry Christmas. I spoke to my to my older brother yesterday, so that's me done and dusted so to speak.

It's another really misty day here. Yesterday it didn't lift all day and I suspect today will be the same.

Luckily the dreaded lurgy seems to have passed me by I'm happy to say.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS ONE AND All

Morning all

Still in the depths of Winter flu. Don't feel like doing anything today.

Good morning one and all, may I wish everyone an enjoyable Christmas.
A heavy night last night. @ebikeerwidnes would have enjoyed it. Grandson #1went to a specialist cheese supplier and we all stuffed ourselves with lots of different cheeses with lots of red wine.
Christmas dinner will be at 1500 so I will crawl back to bed for a couple of hours before that.

I've just made macaroni cheese for this evening's meal, plus a separate small dish for tomorrow.
I picked up some extra mature Red Leicester, the usual stuff in the supermarket tends to be bland, but this had some real bite.

The Red Fox is lovely, most supermarkets now seem to stock it.

I have risen!

A Merry Christmas to my fellow retirees.

And to you, hope you have a great day
