The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Gday Gday Gday
A pleasant start to the day. My phone shows Warrington to be sunny all day although the general county forcast is for heavy rain later.
I was pleased to get a lot of garden stuff done yesterday.......crashed out early again.
Garage being sorted today..... junk cleared and floor repainted.

Off to Barny this morning for a spot of retail.

Coffee drunk. Toast munched. Sage advice distributed across CC. I'm off now and shall return when the stuff which needs doing as part of my doing day is well and truly done. I may bob in at lunchtime if I feel the need for a break from doing stuff which needs to be done.

That's that done!

Good morning fellow retirees,

A bit more mudguard fettling today after encountering a couple of snags yesterday.

We've just had a delivery of yet more beer🍺 This is a Brewdog special with all profits going to funding the production of free medical grade hand sanitiser.
The label is quite wittily done with the lettering getting slightly blurry.

Must crack on before it gets too Scorchio 🌞🌞🌞
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏊‍♂️🍺🌞

Dogs walked and fed, I'm going home today so I've got to clean the house up before the owners return.

Morning Jon. Been house sitting for Rick Wakeman again?

Strange weather here this morning.

Warm, and sunny, but very half hour or so, clouds forming, and, sudden, very heavy downpour, lasting for only 3-5 minutes.

Well Barnard Castle is THE place to go, for an eye test.

Do bother, it’s marvellous ! Although the first couple of series come with a serious horrible violence warning. Oh, and there’s lots of s*x.

Please tell me .Whats it called.😜😜😜

Morning. It seems to be quite gloomy and overcast. Trying to talk myself into an early spin as I seem to lose motivation as the day goes on. My legs are seriously sore after lots of walking the last few days so it will be a very gentle one if I do go.

Sounds like a pootle rather than a bimble.😓😓

It’s in East Linton.

When I knew them they lived in Pathead but he may have retired then tho’ I remember being taken to visit the gardens. I was probably about 3 or 4 years old then. Provided houses were the norm then and it would have been too far to commute in those days so I will have to investigate further.

I just googled "uk Marigold colours" and this came up......honest.
Roll on Spring when I can plant some.

38 miles done. Legs a bit weary but quite enjoyed it. It's quite overcast here this morning, but still warm. Pleasant enough for cycling.

No rain, but we've got thunder and lightning.
Looks like it's heading across to Wales from the South East.
Centred over Westward Ho! at the moment.
