The Retirement Thread

[Blue]

Did you clump him?

I was very tempted.

The whole thing happened at the end of a night out in Belfast and was witnessed by a bouncer on the door of one of the clubs who came over and advised that it wouldn't be worth the hassle I'd get if I did thump him so I just took the bag and ran back to Mrs B to ensure she was OK. The whole thing was so fast that Mrs B didn't even know what had happened(the fact that she had drunk me under the table that evening may have contributed to that).

Morning. Not a bad day ahead. Quite cool but dry. Might take the mountain bike for a little jaunt for a change. Never go very far on it but it's still a good workout.

Morning all... Up early and out with the Sunday London Ride boys and girls. Looks like it's going to be OK weather wise.

Enjoy your day folks!

Good morning fellow retirees,

It's grey outside and a tad chilly. Not a lot planned for today but I think Mrs Tenkay is planning to go for a run. I'll probably accompany her on my Brommie, I've fitted a mirror and want to check that it gives me a decent view, the previous one was a bit rubbish.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍☕

I have risen!

Dull and damp. The weather, and the interior of my Y fronts.

Good morning folks.

Cooeee. I am here. Well sort of. I'm messaging a friend In Australia. Back in a minute.

Morning all

Looks like we might have a nice day according to the weather forecasters.
Need a bit of sunshine to charge up my leisure battery on the van.
Off out doggie walking near Horrabridge first, then Sunday lunch booked at the pub just up the road from this CL site.

 

[welsh dragon]

I am back. Rather cold here at the moment but at least it isn't raining so that's a plus.

Stay safe folks.

Morning all. Am in Devon this week , having the holiday we were supposed have in June. The weather isn’t as good as it would have been then, no swimming in the sea for me I think. But it’s just nice to get away 😀

It's nice when the retirement is 'final'. When I retired I was headhunted for some part time consultancy work and spent a few years earning decent money at it. When I finally had all the bikes and gear I wanted I quoted a price they couldn't possible accept and cycled off into full retirement - never regretted it.

The exact opposite for me.
For the last few years of work I ran my own company. Aged 63 another company bought my small business BUT I had to sign an agreement not to get involved etc. In return they paid me £70K
An easy decision tbh

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Nice and bright outside.
Going up to see the daughter this morning and then walking around Panshanger country park near Hertford with the dog.

Morning all, cloudy but dry here. Perhaps a to Cannich today.
