The Retirement Thread

Morning. A day of solid rain for us. At least it’s to gradually get slightly milder later.

@Dave7 I was working on a Kibbutz in the Jordan Valley, by Sea of Galillee, in 1976/77. An Iranian lad, Reza, asked me and a few others if we fancied getting hold of a car/van/something with wheels to drive to Tehran and stay at his place..
He was a lovely fella, great fun to be with, but a total nutter in so many ways....
I, too, politely declined.
Shame, really, as it would have been an interesting time being just before it all went pear shaped!

Good morning all.
Last nights mist and frost has disappeared, we are in for a damp drizzerly day.
All the animals have been fed and medicated. Harry has come in, and is now asleep on the bed, the two females have gone out. Millie went out into the garden and is now resting after her breakfast.
My first mug of tea has been drunk, time for another.

I attempted a walk with full waterproofs but ended up just going round the block a few times for just half an hour. The rain is hitting the cold ground and turning to slippy slush combined with the still melting snow and ice. I decided not to risk any more.

Suppose it gets colder though?

Then it won't be warmer

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooooeee. 6 deg and very damp here.

Stay safe peeps

I have not risen!

Still in bed and that's where I may stay as my neck has seized up badly.

Morning all

I'm still in bed as well, although I'm perfectly fine.
Dull and drizzly out there.
Off to the Railway Inn for lunch later.

Good morning from a grey but warmer Dorset. Mrs Tkk and I ventured out for a run yesterday, got a hundred yards up the road and turned back due to it being too slippery underfoot. A bit like " The Archers " I have become addicted to following the " Dissolve a Marriage " thread, totally fascinating. I have Richard Gere pencilled in for the role of @classic33. Nothing planned for today, will probably run in the rain to test my new " Harrier " running jacket.

Looking at the TV earlier I thought you were in for some serious snow.

I had 8 days in Israe in the 80s and visited lots of places. I was based in Tel Aviv and got far north, galilee and down as far as Eilat (3 days diving). Ohh and Jerusalem. A fascinating country.

Mrs D walking the dogs, which is highly unusual as I enjoy my morning stroll and like to let her lay in of a weekend as she works during the week.
