The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, bright but blowy again today. I have nothing planned.

Yesterday watched the film about the Tay, very beautiful and very interesting, loved it.

Good morning fellow retirees,
Had a couple of cups of coffee, now time to jump in the shower. Planning to walk into Poole this morning, partly to search for Mrs Tenkays missing glove, and also so Mrs Tenkay can take some photos for the daily challenge ( take a photo of five listed objects) no prizes, just be witty and creative. Yesterday afternoon saw her dash out to take a photo of a postbox that she needed to complete that day’s challenge.
Have a peaceful day folks 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏊

Also yesterday listened to the Friends of The Cycling Podcast interview with Orla Chennaoui, a most interesting story of how she got where she is today and fascinating insight into the world of the journalist.

Forecast says strong wind and heavy rain. Strong south westerly but no rain so far tho' not forecast until about 10 o'clock. Might get out if the rain stays off.
Just noticed a couple of cars going past well over the sped limit. Somebody has set something on fire probably.
I used to live next door to the old fire station which had a siren to summon the volunteers. The lifeboat station also fired maroons which was quite useful in both cases as you knew to keep out of the way for a while until they had all arrived and set off.
All electronic now so you have no warning. Also the control centres are not local and in one recent case two fire engines were sent to the wrong location. Fortunately somebody was able to stop the second one and redirect it.

Good morning all. I have zombie-walked down the stairs to the kitchen and created a brew. Humanoid simulation process will now commence.

It's not looking terrible out there, I have bimbling in mind. Hope it's not terrible where you are either, hopefully many bimbling reports and even photos will emanate from you all here later today. Have a good one folks. xx

It's 23c here, but I'm paying for it

Well, I went out to do the Aldi dash at 07.45.
Was shocked to find the car totally iced over. Scraper, elbow grease and windscreen heater needed.
It is normally in the garage but since clearing that out and repainting the floor I got out of the habit. It will be in tonight

Morning all...Woke up with another earworm, 'Silly games' by Janet Kay. Must be from watching Small Axe on BBC1 last night.

Another fine day forecast might even get the lawn cut later.

Have a good day folks!

If you put some clothes on you wouldn't need it to be 23 deg
