The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

I've just been told by Royal Mail a parcel is on it's way, it's a plastic shelf from my freezer that I dropped on New Years day .......why don't they make them out of unbreakable plastic

Jeez...it’s baltic out there. Out getting the bin in and stood speaking to the neighbour across the road for 5 minutes. 2 jumpers plus a padded jacket and I was starting to shiver!

Why are they sending you the shelf that you broke???
Wouldn't you be better off with a new one??

I've just got up, my sleeping pattern or should I say the lack of it needs some medical attention ASAP so looks like breakfast could be brunch

You beat me by 20 minutes... What is wrong with getting up this early in the morning?! (I can't lie around in bed today - I have support pal/dog to meet.)

Been out for a pavement walk, everything is still treacherous. Blinding sun wasn’t helping either. Temp still not up to zero yet. Fortunately, mercifully few people out. Looking forward to Sunday when we a forecast a thaw.

I see we are getting a new series of This Farming Life this evening, one of my favourites

I might have been imagining it but I fancy I heard more birdsong this morning than we’ve had recently.

I haven’t been paying much attention, but the snowdrops should be popping up soon too.

Our snowdrops have buds, but, no flowers yet

Saw some Snowdrops out in flower this morning on our walk down to the village.

Big difference from sunny Devon to baltic Scotland though! Shouldn’t be long now.

That's why we don't use our electric blanket.

We’ve finally scraped to 1 degree above. It’s to last all of 2 hours before dropping to sub zero again with the possibility of sleet this evening...joy!
