The Retirement Thread

Good morning all.

A beautiful morning. First frost, clear sky and no wind. Wrapping up warm for this morning's ride. BRRRR

This afternoon I'm going to a U3A astronomy group for beginners. Going to have to start right at the very beginning for me. I'm not sure if this will appeal but it's something I want to try.

Back home and more glossing. Hopefully the white will be finished today then just the cupboard doors remain. The colour of which awaits a decision.....

The astronomy group sounds interesting. Its something that I think many people wish they understood a bit more.
Re the door colour. Must be a deep red.
That way, if Mrs Paul isnt happy with it, it will hide the blood stains.
Just a suggestion of course

🥣 porridge time. Back later.

Yep that's how I feel about astronomy. I struggle to name more than a couple of stars.

Red door..........🤔

Morning all.
No frost here; in fact, we rarely get any. The same goes for snow.

Morning all
A good sleep last night. No dreams to recall so, according to Classic, Welshie can't have been thinking of me. Too busy thinking about which winter bloomers to wear me thinks.
Roofs are covered in frost and its a thick fog all around.
The only consolation to the bad back is the weather being cr*p so I'm not missing too much. So another chill out reading day for me.

Yesterday was icy out. Today is proper frosty.

Good morning folks, a bright and sunny morning, ideal for a bike ride, though it was a bit fresh when I put the washing out earlier, I think full winter kit might be needed today.

Morning all. Bright and sunny in North Wales - although the mood is dour after they didn't win yesterday (I'm English so I'm happy)

Sore arm following my tattoo session on Saturday so think I'll be taking it easy - again 😁

Salut! We must be living in the same area of North Wales as it is also bright and sunny here today. No ride today as I am recovering from yesterday's. Might clean my bike instead.

That was for not being able to sleep!

This morning I have brought my prodigous <ahem!> sewing skills to bear in 'taking in' a rather flappy hi-vis vest, which now has a more 'tailored' fit. [yeah, right]

The sun appears to have melted the frost off the cars, so it's time to sally forth and enjoy a few miles in the autumn sunshine, before the next spate of delugues descends.😎

You've sewn elastic tape on the inside?

 

[welsh dragon]

Bright and sunny here as well but still quite a lot of frost about.

I have a nice fire going.

Nope. Chopped out about an inch from the seam down each side, then sewed the gap back together ... ish. Now fits more snug-ly, but I don't think I'll be entering next year's 'Sewing Bee.'
