The Retirement Thread

I've just noticed that PeteXXX is coming up my rear. Not at all pleasant.

Just back from Waddesdon Manor (we go with friends every year) unbelievably cold but a lovely evening and feels like the start of Christmas.

After a minus 12°C here overnight, it's supposed to switch to the opposite side of the scale, plus 12°C by Tuesday evening.

A late night - quiz didn’t end until 11pm (started at 8, with a break for food halfway!).
Very successful: two rounds won (= box of chocs each for us and our pals), then came third in the knockout money round (=£15 in our ‘have a meal’ pot)l. 15 teams, so not a bad effort 💪
Wind howling outside now….

Morning all.

Morning. Dry and chilly here. Not much above freezing. All change again tomorrow when it’s back to really mild again.

Good day and it looks like it will be. It's dry and cold but no sign of frost or ice. Heading out on the bike at 8.50 with one of my regular buddies and a few other folk who like to tag along with the pensioners when they can. It's time to get my Galibier quilted gilet out, combined with the deep winter Lusso base layer and jacket I should be toasty........if not I'll pop a windbreaker in my pocket. This afternoon a session with my PT, I hope she doesn't get the scales out for I have signed. Mea culpa. This evening we are at a friend's house for a curry - more sinning. She cooks up a mean curry.

After a wonderful full on weekend with #1SP this provides the break I need before Christmas begins with a house blitz tomorrow. No one coming at all, just the house needs a blitz and I can't see another time to do it.

Ironing next! Catch you all later and remember:

He knows if you've been good or bad,
So better be good for goodness sake,

Good morning all.
MrsP is off to work in a moment. She is doing a few days at the rehoming centre she used to work at over the Christmas period she used to work at as cover for the veterinary team.
Sainsbury's are delivering the Christmas goodies between 9 and 10 then I'll be out with the dog for a couple of hours, with maybe a pint or two in the Mitre on the way home. 🍺🍺.
No bin lorries today as they came on Saturday as the Christmas bin schedule has been rejigged this week, back to normal next week though.

Stay safe peeps

Hovering on zero°c here in Hamtun. Bike is ready for me to ride it to the farm shop to pick up our Christmas goodies ❄️

Good day to all.
Busy but enjoyable day yesterday. As I explaned, #2 grandson came back from his 16 week jaunt around Asia. He is a really nice lad and he and I had a good long chat (with a BIG hug thrown in) .
Daughter did a lovely buffet with lasagna. I demolished mine while watching Lpool demolish Spurs.
Today will be a lovely quiet day for me.

 

[Drago]

I have belatedly risen!

Morning all

I've gone down with a stinking cold.
Think I'll stay in today.

 

[welsh dragon]

Right. I am going now and I may be sometime.
