The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Mild again but a morning of heavy showers.

I’ve become an overnight vegan after watching these 3 documentaries yesterday.

Industrial Farming & Food Production

• Dominion (2018): An expose of the Australian factory farming system using drones and hidden cameras to show the daily lives of livestock.
• Earthlings (2005): A comprehensive look at humanity's dependence on animals for food, clothing, pets, entertainment, and scientific research.
• Eating Our Way to Extinction (2021): Highlights the environmental, social, and ethical implications of industrial animal agriculture.

You watch the wrong doc's Mo .
Sue dabbled with it......it didn't last.
Daughter and SiL did it but are now in what i call a state of flux ie they will eat chicken and some fish but not pork, beef or salmon (all for ethical reasons).

Good day to all.
Warm and wet here (I shouldn't have had that horlicks before bed).
Decorators are doing the bedroom today so I am stuck in the lounge.
I need to  jump crawl into the shower before they arrive, not for thier sake, just because i need one.

Good morning all, a bit of a breezy start to the day here, but no rain as yet.
I'll be off to the garage shortly to drop the car off for its MOT.

Hey Welshie.... we could do nothing all day together!!!
Having said that I've had my shower and am going to put a dark wash in. I may be disqualified before I start

Good morning. It was wet and windy, it is now dry and windy. This means a bike ride!!!!! With this amount of wind I would normally consider binning the ride but dry is so rare this year I have to go. Unexpectedly #2 isn't coming today. Her mum isn't working at present and #2 was here all weekend as her parents went to London for a birthday treat. Her mum felt she wanted a day with her daughter, the right choice I think, so we have an unplanned free day.

I'm looking at a 50 mile route incorporating a favourite cafe, as much shelter as possible and finish ASAP 'cos it really isn't pleasant cycling weather.

Heading back to Poole from Brum about lunchtime. Met up with my sisters and they've promised to come and visit in summer. Mrs Tkk and I ventured to " The Wellington " in the city centre for quiz night, a really friendly bunch and we didn't finish last!
Must take more short breaks, we'd fallen into too much of a routine.

Seems weird walking the cousins in daylight!

Morning all

Shopping in Minehead this morning.
Got some parcels arriving later - hopefully my TIG welding attachment and gas for my multi welder.
