The Retirement Thread

Back from our pub meal. Very enjoyable not too expensive. 4 generous meals and 2 drinks each = £63.00.
They all appreciated it and I was glad to treat them, so all in all a good deal.

Your son ?

We don't mind paying for the kids as long as we get the occasional genuine offer to pay - which we always refuse.

My best mate has a daughter who is mid-20's and her similar aged partner are doing quite well and earn c90k between them.

They never ever offer to pay. Annoys the hell out of him. As it would me, too.

Wow! That is a seriously good deal!

Here, would be £50 easily just for the two of us.

Anyone who won't pay their round/share would be better staying home.

Afternoon all . Just back from the sailing club.
I’m getting fed up with how the current weather pattern has been for the last month on Sundays . It’s been all or nothing , either 3mph or 30+mph . We got to the club today and it’s was already 20mph and with forecast saying it was going to hit 40mph by the start of the race and I bailed 😀 ( mrs exlaser didn’t even bother to bring her sailing gear with her😁 ).
I volunteered to do my friends rescue duty as he loves sailing when it windy . Three hardy souls made the start and the wind surprisingly stayed at around 20mph . But suddenly seconds after the end of the race, we had the forecasted wind of 40+ mph and we really struggled to get the boats off the water. It was so windy it actually blow one of the boats off its launching trolly as we were packing up.
Oh well at least the clubhouse was warm , the wine was cold and the company was good.
Have a good evening folks

Good morning. First I see. I was asleep by 11.00 and didn't wake till 5.30 - I'll take that as a good night. #2SP today so I'll be joining the lemmings on the M61 in about 75 minutes. We haven't seen her for three weeks, looking forward to this.

The knee was very stiff yesterday but better today. Hopefully the morning stretches will loosen it up nicely.

Nina Conti was very funny last night. Highly recommended if she's in your area.

👋👋 catch you later

Morning. It’s cold and raining

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

By 'eck, the rain didn't half hammer down in the night.

Morning to all.
After a lovely family 'do' yesterday its a quiet day for me.
Too dark to see the weather so no idea what it's like outside.

Did one of you mention buying a guttering kit from Tool Station?

Our new summer house arrives today and I'll need gutters at some point.

Morning all, I have a drive back to Lincoln today after dropping Justine off at work. Not sure about the weather outside as the room in this hotel is extremely quiet and I have not looked out of the window yet. Have fun and enjoy your day.

Daft question but why doesn't it come complete with gutters ?

 

[Drago]

Hammering it down again. Might be a relatively short wet day walk for Bruce this morning.

My old summer house/workshop didn't come with gutters either.
