The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good Morning. Go on. Guess. Yes! It's wet and cold. I had planned TLC on my bike as this didn't get done yesterday, now postponed till tomorrow. I'm in the process of a thorough house clean. I started yesterday and rather than a quick hoover I have a soft brush, much more effective, and I'm going from room to room. This was stimulated a search for my wedding ring which I've mislaid. I looked under the sofa using a torch. Despite hoovering under there early in the week there's a load of dust, hence the soft brush etc. My life is full of fun

The boys are at home to a resurgent Plymouth Argyle this afternoon. It's going to be wet and miserable at Ewood, just hope the players are up for it. @Dave7 King Kenny is the special guest today. His first game as Rovers manager was against Argyle, we won 5 - 2 with goals from Moran, Speedie (2) and Garner (2). I had forgotten Speedie and Garner played in the same side......we could do with that forward line today.

I have the urge to weld stuff.

Films are always better if they've got Nazis or dwarves in them.

As long as you don’t like films with Nazi dwarves in them that’s ok . That’s a very ‘ special’ interest type of film that i think is illegal in some countries or if it isn’t it should be.😂😂😀.

Morning all .
All quiet in our house this morning . Daughter went to a gig in melton Keynes last night and stayed over with a ‘ friend ‘ and Mrs exlaser is still having lie in . Looking like I am going for a coffee on my own this morning. 😀
When she does get up we are going to go to hill close gardens in Warwick to see the snow drops. Normally this would mean a 15 min drive down the Warwick by pass ( A46 duel carriageway) but it’s totally closed this weekend so we have to go ‘ round the houses ‘ a bit to get there. .

Update , there is movement from Mrs exlaser, looks like I am not coffee drinking on my own . 😀

I get quite jealous of people who can sleep as much.

It tends to annoy me. I am up early and can't do anything. I can't even get dressed.

Is it every morning or just the weekends? It would bug me too I think.

Probably why I am happily single. I find other peoples habits irritating, as no doubt mine are so better being on my own.

He is awake....finally

Most mornings. Usually it's about 10 when he wakes up, but this time isn't unusual.

MrsP decided to blitz the kitchen, particularly the oven. I took the racks and the side supports for the racks out and oh my. I knew they hadn't been cleaned for a while, but 😳.
MrsP got some sort of rack cleaning solution which goes into a bag with the racks and then after a couple of hours all the crud comes off.
Plenty of Mr Muscle and elbow grease, two hours later the oven looks a lot better, so do the tiles on the walls and the flooring.

I now have the bedding in the washing machine.
