The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all,
There is some rain forecast for this morning.
Tonight we are going to a posh charity gala ball. The animal charity that MrsP used to work for is running the show. MrsP applied in the raffle for two tickets and gave a £5 donation, last week she got the email saying she had won two tickets. It's a black tie event so I have had to borrow a dickie Bow.

Good morning from a grey Dorset. Physio appointment this morning to work on my painful foot. It's a 5km walk each way which may be delaying the recovery 😁

Lashing it down & windy a short while ago but eased off a bit now.
Grass is in danger of turning green if this carries on! 😋

I`ve noticed here in the east that the grass on the verges of the roads is turning a lovely shade of green, run off of water no doubt. In fact some of it looks as if it has been recently planted and coming up, if you get my drift. We need a bit more rain for the main grasslands to turn back to green.

Got drenched walking the boys. Dried off and changed.

Just taken this photo so its still gloomy.
I'm sure there will be lots of brown thatch in there but the green is coming back well.
