The Retirement Thread

[monkers]

Good morning all.

It's another hotty here already. Yesterday was very hot indeed. I went out for a bimble with Danni yesterday. Being nearly 15 years younger she's always eager to press on these days - it was a bit of a swelterer last night even though it was after 8.

There were hoards down at the beach, long ill-disciplined queues for ice cream etc, not even observing the 1m rule - absolute madness. As locals we can't get into the shops due to the number of tourists here.

Too hot for a bimble or anything, so no plans today.

@GM
I hope you didn't use that controversial question and end up with a virtual scrap on Zoom last night. How did it go though?

2 x 3 foot deep fence post holes dug so far and 1 to go, the thermometer thingy attached to the fence I am working next too is saying 32 whatevers, it is very nearly beer time. I think maybe I did not choose the best day this week for digging holes and putting up fencing, but I seldom get things right so no need to change the habits of a lifetime.

The thermometer at my back widow says 12.9C here and 19.4C inside where I am now with lightening flashes getting more frequent and accompanying thunder getting closer.

The thermo thing is now showing 38 and two Chinooks have just flown over at a very low level, they must have seen me the least they could have done is stopped and helped for a few minutes.

I hear David Walliams has taken up wild water swimming again, but that could be an unrelated incident.

Beluga?

No need to swear!

Must be low on stock, just been on the net looking for a knotted hankerchief and cannot find one for sale, plenty of not knotted one's but they will not stay on me ed.

Beluga?

It's not. It even went back up the Mersey.

Stopped by the duckpond in Willoughby, no ducks about but plenty of dragon flies, bright, hot and windy so far, its been a hard morning so far.
