The Retirement Thread

Good morning all.
Feels like the middle of the night !! Even my phone had the message "hello early bird".
The forecast WAS cold and sunny. That has now changed to rain all day.
No idea what, if anything, I am doing today.

Frosty as a frosty thing out there.

Hello Mo.
Are you absolutely sure, certain and positive that it's sleety rain and not rainy sleet ?
The nation awaits

Good morning all.
The first frost of the season has arrived, this will be the end of the Dahlias and fuchias which have still been in bloom because it's been so mild of late.
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies between 9 and 10 of the AM clock, then I'll be out with Millie for a walk, who will be sporting her new fleecy coat for the first time.
I've got a few errands to run so that will give me the chance to get out on the bike for a while.
Enjoy your day everyone

Frosty when I headed out but it had largely disappeared 40 minutes later.

Ironing day today

I always thought that you might have mystic powers but to hover over the trees.....amazing.

Good morning all. It's very wet and cold here in stark contrast to yesterday which was sunny, clear, windless and cold. We had an absolutely brilliant ride, 65 miles in late autumn sunshine with lots of effort from all involved. Not much has happened here in the last 72 hours though we seem to have been ridiculously busy. #3SP today and I think we will be stuck inside all day, not much point in even getting the pram as it's gonna be rain, rain, rain.

A couple of TV hints. We finished Riot Women last night. The BBC at it's very best. Wonderful stuff. I watched two episodes of Wild Cherry on Sunday night, the Beeb again. Dreadful yet the subject matter had so much potential. A real shame.

My daughter and son (plus partners) are, as of yesterday, on a canal boat for a week. TBH I don't envy them.

Good mornng, clear and cold overnight, feeding station showed a prolonged visit from the hedgehog. I'd put extra food in last night, it tends to ignore the food in the cat bowl and prefers to rummage through the barley straw for the individual pieces of cat food. I put out loads of fresh straw out by both hog houses, and surely enough, the hedgehog was grabbing it and dragging it into hog house #2. Fox came later for a nose around and the cat who has adopted us was roaming around too.

Morning.
A chilly one but bright and dry. Forecast is hail but can't say it looks like it at the moment. Out for a ride if it stays dry.
Cut grass yesterday, could be last of the year with any luck.
