The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

On Wednesday I ordered a new pair of binoculars from an on line store, very expensive binoculars. I opted for next day delivery, they should have been here today. This morning I got an email saying that there was a delay and they would be arriving on Saturday. I've just looked on the courier's website and it's now saying "Due for delivery on Monday". I'm not a happy boy. I'll try and phone the shop in the morning but don't think there's much they can do. Why are courier firms so crap.

Which bins and what size have you gone for?

Evening all. We are day and a half into our stay in Exmouth . Really enjoying it, never stayed here before and the place has a nice ‘ vibe ‘. Staying in a premier inn , it’s ok but it’s right on the seafront and we have a sea view. 😀.Weather has been good too.
We are going home tomorrow, with a slight detour to look at a couple of boats . Hopefully one will be coming home with me. 😀 . The one below is the favourite. Hopefully is as good as it looks in the pics 🤞.

They ARE serious bins.
I am curious.... why 12X ?
I use 8X42 for bird watching.
If I am too nosey feel free to say.

I have 8x at the moment, these are to see clearer, further.

I got some Celestron 20x80 for looking at the sky, and some lovely 10x50 Carl Zeiss jobs for looking at everything else.

G'day Cobbers.
Listening to SoTS while slurping my cuppa char.
I am at the hospital 'hub' at 10.30 as they want more blood for testing PLUS this time they want a urine sample.
They have asked me to eat something before I go...... difficult having to 'eat to order'.
