The Retirement Thread

So far this year about Mr WD has found about 100 dead frogs beside the pond. The only thing left are the heads and skin.the culprit is an otter. At least while he is eating frogs, he is leaving the fish alone.

What will be after next????
Mr WD?

That must be soooo annoying. Yes, its doing what is natural but still annoying.
Our problem is herons........one of the b*ggers took 3 of my biggest fish last year.
I have now heron-proofed it.

My mate tried that and it still succeed in get more of his fish

How fast does it, go dickyknees? It looks brilliant fun, can you go slow enough to take it all in properly?

Not at all, you get to go on the little zipper first (third photo) then they take you up to the big zipper (fourth photo).
View from the top and three people coming down over the lake.

Great fun for the over sixty year olds!

Woke up 20 minutes ago and realised I had not done my VAT return for end of March, so I am doing it now, I have until the 7th to get it in, I have never been last in over 40 years or so of being vat registered.

Forget that last post, the return is done and sent over but it did not need to be in until the end of this month. Oh well another little task done. Back to bed seems a good idea.

Well what an eventful night that was, I blame it on the maple syrup. It has been raining hard with a strong wind and we need roofing as one of the corners is leaking.

Finally, rummy feels almost normal. Hurrah

This seems to work. Thin garden stakes (B&Q) at each corner and down the side. Fishing line all around at 3 heights. Fishing line end to end and across the middle so they cant land straight into the pond.
Sounds messy but green garden stakes blend and the line doesnt stand out.

TBH I just paid my accountant to do all that. While he was doing that I could do something enjoyable.

Up early today as the golf comp starts at 0845.....just hope the rain holds off.
Coffee today....drunk. Time for a shower and some breckie then hope I am awake enough to see the ball.

Only takes me 15 minutes and I enjoy doing my own accounts, funny really as I used to hate figures but how things have changed as I got older.

Good morning. Seems a bit calmer weather wise, but raining yet again. A lazy day i think.
