The Retirement Thread

Morning all

Not raining at the moment but looks like we have some on the way.
Got the frog chorus this morning! Will have to check the pond later.
Off to the Railway Inn for lunch later.

I read yesterday that in Wales in has rained every day since the beginning of the year ☔️

It has. We have a leak in the roof, not surprising with the amount of rain we.had had. It can't be fired though until it stops raining, so it's going to be some time before that happens. Lots of people around here have leaking roofs because of the sheer volume of rain

That's because Wales is storing water in anticipation of the hot summer coming later.

I think i need to buy a snorkel and flippers and possibly a dinghy as well.

Good morning, another decent looking cycling day out there but Paul is on family duties. We're having lunch with #1 son, our DIL and #2SP and #2 son. Complicated? That's two sons, a daughter-in-law and granddaughter! Phew!

So I need exercise and having coffeed and breakfasted I'm off to the gym. 👋👋

Which year???

To be fair - I used to teach in Rhyl
and that was, at the time, one of the driest places in the country - it very seldom rained as the land was so flat there until you reached the subhills of the mountains when the clouds took one look at what was coming up that they panicked and dumped all the rain

But on the way home to Bangor in bad weather there was always a point on the A55 where it was totally dry
then suddenly there was a dividing line somewhere around Llanfairfechan where it was wet
often very wet
