The Retirement Thread

@Mo1959 .
I have just come across this on MSE.
Apperently if the car port is detached then is is free from planning permission.
If its attached the house then its classed as an extension and must be built of the same materials as the house eg if the house is brick you cannot have a wood and polycarb.
Am I right that this car port is attached? If so its worth checking the regs.

Glorious day today so off for a walk around 5 or 6 miles so not too long. The getting ready for the usual Saturday night shenanighans after what will be a dossy afternoon.

Building up to my big egg tomorrow with a small starter one last night and the same today.

No, I have to confess that is one I have never heard of.
Now I know that you would not try and wind me up so tell me.... if I manage to get a cabbage, what should I do with it

Place on an item belonging to the person you wish to hurt(Not always physically), slowly using a sharp knife make two cuts which will allow you to remove the heart of the cabbage without damaging it. Then at midnight on the night of a full moon, bury it on waste ground. Being careful not to tell anyone what you have done, lest the spell rebound on you.


Eating raw cabbage is an old folk cure for hangovers.

Bear in mind, you did ask.

First tick of the season.
Managed to get it before it was properly embedded but not sure exactly where I got it .Probably up the back garden when sitting having a coffee but the grass was not all that long. Just finished a hands and knees job on the front which meant kneeling on the grass but seems unlikely. They can run at a fair pace on a hard surface but make a very satisfying crunch when caught by a fingernail.
it would appear that the cordon round the island is not as secure as it should be. A couple of strange cars have gone past and an almighty row has erupted on the local Facebook page about people sneaking off to the mainland for shopping. While I would not do it myself it is understandable if you cannot get what you need from local shops.

Do you ever go over to Colonsay? My dad was very fond of it and made a few friends there.

Bonjour. Nothing planned for today apart from a trip to Asda after 5 pm, when they will all be having their tea I hope. I am running out of things to paint. Will be taking Molly up the mountain later but apart from that, just a lazy day. Stay safe everyone.

Sailed past it a few times but never stopped there. We were usually fleeing bad weather.

Tomorrow is my day. Easter Sunday, when the whole christian world celebrates Drago rising from his slumbers!

A 14 mile bimble for me. Nice weather here now.

Got out and did a quick 10 miles on the hybrid.
Painted 20 ft of lead flashing and 100+ ft of weather line when I'd recovered.
Just got a bit of touching up on the rendering to do next, and that's the bungalow finally done.
Gonna slob out with a beer afterwards.

Had a nice ramble round Preston Guild Wheel today which is a circular traffic free route round Preston. The usual mix of tarmac cycle paths, pavement and compacted surface.

Good fun and a nice change from my usual style. 37 miles, 13.6 avg

Time to finish glossing and then see what the day brings.......

 

[Drago]

Gonna go for a ride in a bit. The Felt is all dialled in, ready to hit that funky highway.

24 mile for me today and saw a bobby on a bike and a willys jeep

We are chilling out at the moment. Sat in the shade and MrsD has forced a whisky on me. Listening to Pick of the Pops.
TBH my thighs are sore today as I pushed it on the exercise bike yesterday. So a rest day wont do any harm.
Two Buzzards are circling above us, sky is blue and flutterbies are fluttering. Easy to forget the sh*t that some people ate going through isn't it.
Stay safe peeps
