The Retirement Thread

Good tip about the screenshot, I never knew that as well.

I was doing my standard 'go in every menu to see what is in there' routine!

My old tablet had very limited options for sound so I was pleased to find the graphic equaliser on this one. My hearing is pretty poor at higher frequencies so it was good to be able to boost those frequencies to compensate.

The tablet has done 3 massive updates since I switched it on so having just played with Android Pie, that has now gone and been replaced by Android 10. I'll have to see what other new things have been added... PS I found THIS LIST.

I could pinch a memory card from one of my other devices but I think I'll add one to my Christmas present list.

I have decided not to wait... I have spotted a Galaxy Tab case on ebay which is so cheap that it is worth a punt even though it will probably fall apart after a week or two. If it turns out to be as bad as it should be at the price, I'll go back to plan A and get a better one for Christmas.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you... the celebrated £3.95 rotating tablet case! (I'll go for the grey option.)

With 13p or 14p cashback, depending on whether they round to the nearest penny, or down!

Damn ... I just ordered then found THIS ONE being sold by a Burnley company for £2.99!

And tomorrow, I'll probably spot one in the window of the mobile shop in Tod going for £2.49...

We currently have snow, thunder, and lightning . I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced that combination before. Strange times.

Up and ready for my early run but it's wild out there! Do I really want to do this

Yep!

Morning all.

Jeez that was a bit crazy out there. Cold, wet and wild! Oh, and if anyone is thinking of splashing the cash on a Gore Shakedry jacket believing they are waterproof........they are not!

Well good morning. Too dark to comment on the weather. I've been awake since 5.30 which is bad news!

Today is a walking day which I'm really looking forward to. Our hosts have planned the route, it's their turn. The start point is on a little known, traffic free lane which I must have ridden a thousand times. Often see walkers on the lane and I'm fascinated to see where the circular route will take us.

I shall now attempt a doze before breakfast and picnic preparation.

Raining hard here and only 2 degrees, quilted overalls if I go out today.

1st question MrsD asks......has Mo had her run/walk. Glad you managed it.
Like cycling I used to enjoy running but I was a fair weather runner.

Like Hitler after the war in Argentina, I have risen!

Morning all.
Yesterday's weather was awful and its set to be similar today.
Up at 0600 and it really was black AND cold.
Just to report.......me and MrsD seem to be eating better. Not big meals but definitely better.
Think I mentioned MrsD 'did her ankle in ' on Wednesday. I watched it happen as she simply stood wrong and 'bang' OUCH!! I felt it go. On ice packs yesterday so we will see what today brings.
@PaulSB when can we have our "new Messi" back? That Harvey Elliott is on fire at Rovers. Seems to be a win-win don't it.

Good morning all,
It's raining and quite cool outside.
Out with the dog soon and then off to the barber for a haircut at 9.30.
