The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Mr Drago sir, I notice that you often type " habe " instead of " have". Is there a bit of the teutonic in your bloodline 🤔

Nein, aber ich speech Deutche.

Dogs walked. Listened to an economics podcast this morning. A bit lefty (why does everyone insist in inflicting their political opions on others these days?) but otherwise quite interesting.

Morning all from a dry, bright Cheshire.
A coffee has been consumed. Next will be getting the bedding stripped and in the washer.
@Tenkaykev I see there is a large fire at Canford Heath nature reserve, is that a place you are involved with ?
NB
I mean that Kev lives near there..... not that he might have started the fire

Although it's not an outdoors drying day, the washing machine will be doing its thing this morning. The laundry basket is overflowing.
Time for another cup of tea

Good morning Dave. I was completely unaware of the fires until your post, then I looked it up on the local news. Canford heath is quite large and starts about 300 metres from our house. That bit is the developed part which leads onto the Heathland itself. The heathland stretches all the way towards Wimborne. I'm over there regularly on the tracks and trails and was going walking there this morning. Strange that I didn't hear any nee naws at all, but if it's at the far end of the heath there's another road that the emergency vehicles would have taken. It's an SSSi with several endangered species, and often a herd of wild cattle, hopefully the rangers would have got them to safety🤞

Happy birthday Dirk, and many more of them 🎂🎉

I have asked Welshie to visit you and perform the Dance of the Seven Pairs of Bloomers.....so be prepared with all necessaries eg sun glasses, smelling salts and a defibrillator etc.
Happy birthday our founding father.

Than you everyone for the birthday wishes.
@Drago there's a bloke wandering around the chalets carrying a scaffold pole - says his names Brian and you owe him a monkey.

VERY windy and grey here - more leaves to clear up.

Must do some gym today, not sure whether to do it before or after leaf blowing - a big decision looms!

Have a decent day,all.
