Coooeee. 5 deg windy and rainy here. I have a small private pension and I don't have a full state pension. Even so, they deducted tax from my private pension.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning all.
No rain at the moment, but quite chilly outside,4⁰c.
It's our daughter's birthday today, we are all meeting up at an Italian restaurant in St.Albans this evening, my credit card is going to take a hit as our son and partner are also coming.
The first of the bin lorries is just coming down our road, the next one will be along in a couple of hours time.
I will check the felt on the shed roof, but it appears it needs replacing as there was several places where the heavy rain has come through. My bikes must be protected from the damp.😁

Similar to me apart from the fact I get a full state pension......my private pension is only a couple of grand per year but it is taxed at source.

Good morning, two days without rain is forecast🤞. Managed a couple of miles walking between cloudbursts yesterday. The local wholesalers are dropping off a new radiator for the living room today, ready for Octopus to fit tomorrow morning. They originally fitted a single panel radiator instead of the double panel that was supposed to be fitted. I only noticed when I came back from a rainy walk with soggy gloves and draped them over the top of the radiator to dry. 🤔
A lunchtime curry at 29029 followed by a pint in the Tap and Grape while watching the rugby on Saturday. Good food, well presented, the lunchtime special gets you a starter and main for £14.

Good morning. I bring good news to all old farts.
It is the date of my birth today (I have reached the giddy age of 79) and I have decided to grant all on here a day off work. You are free to do exactly as you wish**
**by "as you wish" I obviously mean what your wife permits or wants you to do.
My daughter and son are taking me for lunch at a nice Chinese restaurant.
Sunny/rainy today.
Weekend is supposed to reach 13°.

Further to my post about lunching at " 29029 " a local Nepalese restaurant. I had to smile when I saw that a new local restaurant has opened up that reflects the reassessed height of Everest, it's called " 29032 " 😁

Morning.
Cold and very windy but dry.
Not sure on plans for today as it all depends on what's happening with my Dad but if I get the chance it's a weights session later.
First coffee, the most essential of morning items.

Morning all

Happy birthday @Dave7
Sun's out here at the moment but rain forecast later, thank goodness.
MrsD has a hair appointment at 10am and we are going shopping at Tesco afterwards.

Good morning. Damp, wet, grey, windy. Just about the perfect spring day! Not a great deal to say this morning. Mrs P has a routine, we hope, consultant's appointment in an hour or so. After that we don't have anything that needs doing. I've got some admin to tackle later, tea to make and will probably head to the gym. Exciting or what??
