The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

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 😀

If you need some free food or somewhere to kip for free our Dirk is away so his house is empty.
The key is under the 3rd brick on the left

Morning all .
Was up at 0700.....very dark. Hard to believe that just a short while ago we were waking up to bright mornings.
Beautiful day here. I may even get a short walk in.
I have enjoyed a 2 hour chill with coffee. Now I am checking fluff in my belly button while debating what to do.

Re Yellowstone on Sky.
Does no one on here watch it ?
I was reading, this morning, that it has got women moving to Montana hoping to marry a cowboy. That is exactly what our (now ex) DiL** did after the divorce.
**we still love that girl. Such a shame it didn't work out.

Too late, I've already let it out to a very nice lad who says he's an indoor horticulturist.
He said not to worry about the electricity bill, as there is a lamppost outside he could hook up to.

Major achievement going on here this morning, 3 yes 3 man drawers cleared out and sorted, now just get to get a skip in to take away the old batteries and pens that do not work.

That's reminded me of the lyrics of a song Dave, I bet you'll get it straight away.


"He like a cowboy died drunk in his slumber
Out on the porch in the middle of summer
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
But they had retired to roads that were sandy"

Steady on old chap, they may come in handy one day, best to hang on to them just in case... 😁

Well, this morning it was time for for a much hated chore - cleaning the various electric fans we have about the place. Eight in total, all were stripped, cleaned and reassembled ready for service. Ran out of excuses - today it's really quite cool at 26c, and drizzling all day so far, so just had to get on with it. As a reward, I scoffed a couple of small banana cakes, and had a packet of my favourite crisps - gotta replenish all those lost calories eh

I was just a bit bored. Is that the series with Kevin Costner? Maybe I have the wrong one in mind
