The Retirement Thread

[gbb]

I realised today, if you want to go into town to shop in the average shopping centre, weekday mornings are brilliant if you're retired, there's no one around.
Peterborough Queensgate centre, dead as a dodo at 09.30...brilliant.

Pooped now. It’s got a bit muggy out and I have walked around 15 miles in total today. That’s definitely enough.

Well done. It was really cold in town this morning. It was certainly warmer here.

Nor has @SpokeyDokey been here since the 16th.

Spokey is unwell, there is a thread elsewhere about it

As a proper Christian, unlike us heathens , are you going to celebrate it again on Monday as that’s the correct day this year ? 😀

Round our way the concessionary bus passes don't kick in until 09:30. The first couple of buses after that tend to be really busy.

Yup. Same here. Don't want to be called a Twirly!!

Funnily enough, i just had an email the other day, Stagecoach are dropping the 09.30 ruling, not sure when but very soon if not already.
I think that's a council run initiative

I googled that earlier as I realised I knew nothing about him/it. Apparently there is no certainty that he ever existed.

and if he did then he was not born here
probably never came here
and was not even from this region

I have never thought of him as a proper Patron Saint for England
I would prefer a proper English one

I’ve been binge watching The Feud. Remind me not to upset my neighbours by building a kitchen extension! Just one episode to go but I’ll save it for tomorrow.

I never knew that the church will not celebrate a saints day if it falls in Easter week . That’s why this year, they will celebrate it next Monday instead. Every day is a school day, as they say . 😀.

Night night all.

A quick, cool, good morning. Going to warm up later and be a nice day.
So, what's on for me.......
At 12 I have a lunchtime pub visit which I enjoy.
A question for yous .....
I have a company coming later to measure up and price for vertical blinds.
Q.....is it worth getting multiple quotes ??
I have done that in the past but found there is only coppers in it. I will tell them I am getting another quote, just to keep his pencil sharp but may/maynot bother if I get good vibes.
