The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I think maybe they are listening to the complaints made by people and about time too.

Did you watch it? I especially loved the robotic milking parlour where the cows just came in and out as they pleased. They looked really happy and content.

Aerosmith on the wireless. A good start to the day.

Good morning folks,
A bit grey but dry. My new Alpkit rain jacket arrives today so I'm looking forward to an extended dry spell ( you can thank me later ). Popped into one of the local charity shops and purchased a posh foot spa complete with " polished sea pebbles ". This has now been put in a suitable sized hole to function as a mini garden pond in the rockery. I have a spare camera that runs off USB so I will get that set up to monitor it and see what interest it attracts 🐸🤞
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️🎶🌈

Forecast looking good. Should get my washing on the line today.

Good morning. The forecast has changed and 60% of the rain will arrive at 11.00 followed hourly by 60, 60, 70, 90.

Cycling day followed by a meeting of the allotment group at 4.30 by when it's 100% 💦 and 💨 The allotment group will meet in a shed with flasks. 🤣

We're riding today to a favourite cafe. Despite the forecast I'm not going to suggest bailing. Instead I'll spend the next 90 minutes fretting about clothing. I was caught out yesterday on my walk. The morning was cold and wet, I dressed appropriately for the afternoon walk only for it to turn hot and humid. Last night then turned cold again. British weather!!

Good morning all. A very pleasant few days up in Suffolk was had. We managed to dodge the heavy rain showers.
Our car got heavily bombed with bird poo yesterday so I'm on car washing duty later, followed by grass cutting, then I'll get out on the bike for a while.
Today is bin lorry day. They are a bit late today, normally te first one is down our road around 6.30am.

Morning all

Shopping in Minehead this morning - LIDL & Tesco mainly.
Might get out on my D7 Bantam later on, but I've got some gardening to do first.

Yes I saw that. It was really good.

Morning.
Bit overcast but dry. Seeing as I binned ride yesterday I need to get out on the bike today, planning a good ride Wed so want to get legs turning today.
Washing in machine, cats fed so it's coffee time.

Yep I find I often do the same, which base layer to wear, will I need arm warmers etc. By far the most thinking though goes into route(unless on a definite planned one) as I always try and get the tailwind home. I'll regularly lie in bed going over which way to go etc. I find it quite enjoyable in a perverse way but I do spend way more time than I should contemplating which roads to take!

Bit late, there!
Mine's been flapping on the whirlygig for at least an hour 😉

I stopped watching it some time ago as it was all irrelevant and boring.
Are you saying they have improved it

Those things might be good when they're working fully, but if any part fails it can confuse the herd. "Distress them" to use more modern language. Leading to, I kid you not, possibly having to seek psychological help for them!
