The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all fellow retirees. It seems to be raining again.
Dog walking and domestic duties today and the last minute preparations for tomorrows travel will be done.
I cut the grass out the front yesterday so all the grass has been cut the earliest I have ever had to do it. I also sowed my tomato and pepper seeds in hope for an early crop this year. I will do a later showing in a month or two for a later crop, that's the theory anyway.

@Paulus are you growing under glass? If we get warm weather you may well get an earlier crop. I usually buy tomato plants late April/mid-May which will continue cropping till mid-November even early December in a mild autumn/winter.

I'll be interested to hear how your later, second sowing goes.

Observations or facts. But you may well be right. I will never mention welshies bloomers again......unless she does so first.

Good morning one and all.
It's not raining!
Might see how the legs are this morning and take them out for a run.

Lovely bike ride with Mrs Tenkay yesterday🚲🚲🌞
Just need to learn to swim and I could become one of them there tri-afferletes 🏊😉

Good morning. It god.its a frosty start to the day here.

 

[PaulSB]

Good morning. The sun is up but not exactly shining yet. Light cloud and 3C.

Everyone else has pulled out of the ride!! Can't quite believe it.

The question now is do I go solo or log up wood? I've nothing else planned though the car is in serious need of a clean.

Minus 1 here and feels like minus 4.

Morning all

Off to Ilfracombe LIDL this morning.
Got MrsD's brother and brother in law coming down to stay next weekend.......deep joy.
Both are widowers in their 70s and both are boring as hell.
Her brother can talk for hours on the technicalities of metal casting; in fact, that's all he ever does.
Her brother in law was an old man, attitude wise, 40 years ago. He has only got worse.
Still.......stiff upper lip and all that......

Thank you.
I think I'll just sit in a corner with a bottle of Jamesons, smile and nod occasionally.

That's what I do, but without the whiskey.

Stick your bike in the boot and come here for the weekend.
By the sound of it they will not notice you are missing

Morning all.
Frosty start here but sunny which is already burning it away.
I am being dragged out to the shops this morning. Its our last try to get radiator shelves.......this time its Wicks. You would think it was easy but none of the diy srores have them in. Failng that its Amazon.
Then we will buy some Covonia (we know how to live) as that lurgy may have gone but its left us both very 'chesty'.
