The Retirement Thread

I'm cold, the church will be colder and fork handles won't do much

Good morning. I can see daylight through the curtains. Grandsons 15th birthday today and we will be going out for a meal mid afternoon, then probably find a pub so he can watch the Bournemouth game ⚽️
Mrs Tkk stops going to the gym for the next few weeks as the annual New Year resolutionists will be flooding the place. This usually abates by mid February and things get back to normal. My resolution will be to spend more time on the bike, there's going to be a new addition to the stable sometime soon, Mrs Tkk is going to test ride a couple of bikes and see which best suits.

Well, hello! He says in a bright and cheerful fashion. Dank, grey, chilly. We haven't really had any proper weather in 2024. Today? Friends announced yesterday they will be popping in for lunch enroute to family in Sheffield. Arrival time 1.00pm. This is good except the mighty Rovers are at home. I, and two sons, will be leaving at 2.00pm to follow the path of enlightenment to the temple of football known as Ewood Park. Hull City today. This is a game we MUST win. Potentially we could drop out of the top six, even down to eighth. I don't want this to happen!

Otherwise? I have weighed out my flapjack ingredients, just waiting for the oven to warm sufficiently to cook it. Mrs P has given me a clock to mend. Is the woman deluded? How long have we been together? 46 years! She really should know by now my clock mending abilities are somewhat limited. I will take the back off, have a poke around, put the back on again. Then we can buy a new one.

My lads are on holiday this week so no childminding duties for us, they can look after their own kids. Granddad does need a rest. Plans are being laid for cycle rides on Monday and Tuesday. The weather will be cr@p but ever the optimist.......................

Morning all

Another day of staying in the warm.
Getting really fed up of this snotty wheezy cold.
Will see if I can get my PC to connect to the WiFi this morning.

4.5 mile wander done. I had intended doing the hill walk but just went through the golf course and skirted around the bottom of the hill. Still feeling the effects of this viral thing. I seem to get good days and bad days. Keep reading of lots of peeps saying the same…..some saying it takes a couple of weeks to shift properly.

We are due to return to really cold conditions from the 1st so that might kill off the bugs.

There'll be the option to Mark All As Read, not delete them. Click that and any screen after that which asks are you certain if you want to mark all alerts read.

Thanks I’ll give it a try

Don't think the Bournemouth game is on TV.

Now there speaks a man who has worked in IT!! 🤣

It always sounds patronising to say that when I am talking to someone who knows the basics and is generally easily able to fix things themselves

but sometimes it works even with experienced people

I have had people who claim that their computer only works if I visit it once a week because it misses me
one person insisted that I stand in front of her while she typed up a Special Needs report that was urgent - just so her computer wouldn't miss me!!!!

I think Sky will be showing it?
