The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Was just having a nosy at the webcam at a little airport 20 miles away and it looks like snow on their camera. Surely not. Don't think there is any expected.

Wassat yer neckin' ?

Oakham OPA. A very good pint.

Morning all, we had quite a big thunderstorm here about 11.30 last night. The lightening was spectacular. It woke me up and I didn't get back to sleep until about 4. More rain expected today . Don't think I'll be out on the bike today.

 

[Drago]

That was not a thunderstorm. That was me messing around lighting my farts.

Morning.
LIDL & ALDI day today, so off around the bay to Bideford.
Might need a lie down afterwards due to the excitement of it all.

Good morning. I've emptied the dishwasher, tidied up, had my porridge. Time to take Mrs P coffee and get my kit on. Riding at 9.00. It's a bit windy but OK otherwise.

Good morning - A grey but dry morning and I'm going to risk a ride to the allotment. I haven't been there for ages because it has been too wet. Also because there isn't much that needs doing at this time of year.

Have the best day possible.

I've just got up, woke up at 1:00 and still awake at 5:00

After my Aldi trip yesterday I wish you the best with that. We await a full report

Its official.......I am verry unhappy today.
Our garden is in danger of swimming in sh1t.
We are the last house before the sewage pipe goes across the park to the main sewer. Somewhere along there is a blockage.......and as we are the last house we get everyones sh1t piling up. United Utilities promise to be here within 48 hours.
It happened maybe 5 years ago and it was tree roots so they dug and lined the pipes. Could be similar again .

Just taken delivery of a case of wine, from Aldi.

I am no expert on wine, but, I do like drinking it

Aldi deliver via Yodel (in this area at least). Have to say, their service is excellent, in my experience, in particular, their tracking App.

You have my deepest sympathy. Certainly no laughing matter.

We had a similar problem, thankfully, only once (so far)!

I am sure you already know this, but, it is worth noting, if the sewer/drain is on your property, but, is a shared drain/sewer, the Water Authority will unblock FoC.

In our case, Northumberland Water were there within an hour and cleared the problem.

Not a job I would fancy

Am I allowed to use that word "job", it is a bit close to that four letter word "work".
