The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

We have trail camera that takes fabulous pictures even in the pitch dark. Many a time we have seen photos of otters in the dead of night on it.

And you recognise the same one each time of returns?

Edited to add that the answer to your question, asked elsewhere, is 25% of it's original length.

Good morning folks,
wide awake at three am so got up and wandered downstairs for a read.
Friends popping round about 9:30 for a run and a catch up. Santa is visiting our road on Saturday evening, we're looking after granddaughter so she'll be really excited.
Time for coffee ☕️

Morning. What a rubbish night of tossing and turning. I almost just got up at 3 but resisted. Eventually dozed off for an hour or so.

Cold with a light frost here but hopefully safe for a walk.

Some sick idiots driving around out there. The use of technology and social media seems to be driving bad behaviour I think.

Good morning all.
I shall be out on the bike for a while later on, other than that it should be a domestics type of day.

Good morning all, the carers here, it seems warmer this morning but too dark to see outside, we're down the club this afternoon.

Accurate observation there Mo It certainly is on the 'NC500' tourist route. For many getting kudos is all that matters....feeding deer and taking pictures which encourages the deer to stray on to the road, lighting fires for 'cosy' camp fire pics which scar the landscape, driving across delicate machair to get that oh so important shot, flying drones over wildlife reserves -the list goes on.
Those looking to post their kudos pics on FB are fear based individuals anxious to promote themselves amongst the rest of the herd...sad

Morning all

Back home in Devon now.
Got some shopping to do this morning and the doggie will want a walk.
Making tentative plans of what to do when my inheritance turns up next year. We are leaning towards selling up, buying a motorhome and doing a grand tour of the UK for a few months whilst keeping an eye on the property market via Rightmove, then purchasing somewhere on Exmoor.

Good morning all, appears to be dawning bright here.

If you time it right it could work out. Sell at the top of the market and buy after the great property price crash of ‘22 ( I’m semi serious, I’ve been expecting property prices to “ correct “ themselves for quite a while )

Morning. The storm has finally passed. It's a bit damp but ok. 4 deg here so no frost at all.

Stay safe peeps

You never know, we might pitch up at @welsh dragon manor on the way around.
