The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Every man for himself. Grab as much as you can.

Trouble with living here is ten minutes after starting a chainsaw all these pensioners appear..........with chainsaws.

Friend of mine turned up. Worked well together and shared the spoils. Tree was only 200 yards from the allotment.

Well done. Downed trees dont last long here either.

Netflix recommendation. I've been watching "Mars", halfway in to season two. This is very, very good.

Yes there is a sci fi element and a story about the colonisation of Mars. The story though is supported by the real back story of space exploration, the threats to our planet, our exploitation of it's resources, climate change, disease etc. and how all of this could/would impact on Mars should colonisation be attempted.

I'm really enjoying it. The second season especially so.

It's 09:20 here and already 34°C. Forecast to get up to 41 today. Might find somewhere with air conditioning, or spend the day in the pool. Going to be cold tomorrow (34)

Expecting around the 40° for these parts.

Can't see the need for air conditioning, you get used to the heat in a foundry.

But that's inside. We had 63 yesterday in the van and that was when parked in the shade. Couldn't touch the steering wheel for a while.

Maybe, but no air movement.

How many vans have you seen with the steering wheel on the outside?

Morning folks. Not as cold as it was yesterday. Still too dark to see anything outside yet but I can hear lots of leaves being blown around

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Hello world! I feel good today. Two decent sleeps in a row. 5C outside, bluish sky and small pink tinged clouds - must be sunrise somewhere.

Riding at 9.30 on a good flat route to a favourite cafe. Most of the usual reprobates are coming.

Next is porridge, empty dishwasher, ironing and get kit on.

Chainsaw battery on charge for a possible second assault this afternoon.

Good morning

- I'll be going on a U3A walk soon (around 4 miles). The usual cycle ride to my friend's house and then a drive to the starting point. Cycling home again after we get back to his house. It all keeps me moving.

Possibly a trip to 'The Range' later to buy a few things.

Have the best possible day.

cold and dry, last nights washing up done, washing out on line and breakfast eaten, typical Wednesday to follow.

Morning all, nice and frosty outside again. I'm trying to keep the rest of the house tidy, but it's a losing battle when decorating.

Blimey. It's suddenly got very windy.🚴 ☹️
