SearchArchives for: July 2006Sesion 82 - How Many Redundancies31st July 2006 I read in the papers last week that the company where I had worked for twenty eight years before redundancy and retirement had been bought out.

Session 81 - Grandkids and Black Books28th July 2006 One day a couple of weeks ago, Joe, our grandson suddenly decides he wants an Emerald Version of something or other for his Gameboy.

Categories: Tales of Everyday Life Session 80 - Good News - The Internet's Down26th July 2006 Being retired is pretty good. No cares, no worries. The sun is still shining on what must be developing into one of the hottest summers on record. It’s 7.00pm and my biggest concern is how to make sure Dave and I don’t go to the pub too early.
Tuesday… more » Tags: retirement
Categories: Retirement Planning Session 79 - Angie and the 'Flash Yank'24th July 2006 The British Open is over and once again in a major sporting event, our own Open Championship, we fail to turn up.

Categories: Retirement Planning Session 78 - New Equipment21st July 2006 We all know what retirement is about. Get up in a morning put on a track suit and slippers, M&S furry ones, walk down to the paper shop for the morning paper. Cup of tea, read the paper then wait in the queue down the post office for the pension. Bac… more » Tags: retirement

Session 76 - Going for Paint17th July 2006 This is the bit I like most, its Monday morning again. Everyone is off to work, the queue on the road to Beverley is growing which is nice to see. But this morning I need to get down to Focus DIY for some paint before Alex, Dave and the kids want the Cli… more » Tags: retirement
Categories: Retirement Planning Session 75 - A Quiet Night Out12th July 2006 This is more like retirement. The sun’s shining, all the workmen have finished in the house and we have only decorating to complete which we have suspended whilst Alex, Dave and the grandkids are over here.
So it’s up in a morning put on shorts and T-s… more » Tags: retirement
Categories: Retirement Planning Session 74 - A New Beginning?10th July 2006 So that’s it. The World Cup’s finished, Italy won, as I said last week they probably agreed the score with the ref before hand. Wimbledon’s finished, there was no interest there after Sharapova got knocked out. So what do we watch on TV now.
I noted Ch… more » Tags: retirement
Categories: Retirement Planning Session 73 - A Succesful World Cup06th July 2006 I think it’s time for a final comment on the World Cup. A very satisfactory World Cup for all England football supporters. But maybe very unsatisfactory in many other ways. Being retired I have watched all fifty something games played so far and I believ… more » Categories: Retirement Planning Session 72 - The New Cooker04th July 2006 Well this is it. The last week of ‘work men’ in the house. All redevelopment will be complete by Friday.
