The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Rain overnight but dry at the moment. I can see the trees starting to move though. Supposed to be really strong winds later. Think I'll just walk today.

I have risen!

Good morning. A horrible night here. Torrential rain and gale force winds all night. Plants were blown over and there are flood alerts all over the place. I didnt get any sleep at all.

I won't be doing much today.

Good day. It's not raining. it's blowing an absolute Hollie No chance of getting the bike out today.

On the agenda then is:

• First coat of emulsion on bathroom walls
• Possibly second coat
• Find a nearside mirror for my car - misjudged reversing in to garage on Friday
• Get a password manager
• Sort out conflicts my laptop backup is showing
• Lounge around on sofa 🤞

The boys were due home today for a family BBQ but the weather and impossibility of social distancing indoors has cancelled this. A shame but hey ho......

Sounds like a good plan, especially the lounging around on the sofa bit.

Morning all

Doggie walking first thing, then a quick tour of our local campsites on the way back for a Grockle count.
The pub experience yesterday was remarkably non eventful. Pretty much like it was before lockdown. I've a feeling most small 'local' pubs will be much the same, it'll be the big high profile major players who will make the most changes.

Good morning. Still in bed but I can hear the wind blowing outside, 40 mph apparently!!
Last night, we were supposed to be in Birmingham, to see " Les Miserables" but Covid has put a stop to that. Who knows when the show will be on again? I have been waiting 25 years to see that.
My boy arrived safely in Taiwan last night and is starting his two weeks quarantine in his hotel room. We keep in touch by Facetime, very handy.`

It's strange, the wind is blowing pretty good but its really warm as well.

I spent half an hour tonight sweeping up bodies, It was amazing how many dead flies had accumulated on our window sills.

MrsD did a conservatory clean a few days ago and said something similar.
How do they get in? Why do they die? Very wierd.

Morning all, the wind is blowing and it's been raining overnight.
Dog walking first off and then carrying on with the decorating.
