The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Good evening all, the rain is still falling
Just settling down to watch part 2 of A very British Scandal. Part one was quite good.

I started watching it last night but it wasn’t gripping me so gave up.

Dear Freesat executives... It is very nice of you to give us 5 music channels, and finally restore Channel 4 HD after a 3 year absence. How about telling your viewers the news? I have just discovered them on my Freesat box and wondered where they came from. Apparently, the change was made a couple of weeks ago!

If you have Freesat, replace Ch4 (ch 104) with Ch4 HD (ch 126)!

I have just tested Ch4 HD... goodbye fuzzy picture - hoo bloody ray!

PS I have now started a separate thread to let them Freesat-in' outsiders know...

Morning. Bit of rain overnight so it’s wet and puddly underfoot for my walk soon.

I forgot to buy loo roll yesterday so be as well to return via the Co-op and get some.

Good morning folks,
Up at 05:00 to see daughter and her man off on their journey back to Edinburgh. It's been great having them visit and we've volunteered for cat sitting duties as and when they're required. Daughter and grandson from Leeds are still visiting, it's his 12th Birthday tomorrow and we're planning a visit to the Tank Museum at Bovington.
Meanwhile I've been dipping in and out of the forum, making sure that you lot aren't misbehaving ( again )
Take care folks
👍

Good morning all.
It's drizzling outside, with rain forecast for later on.
All the usual things to do today, probably won't get out on the bike today
Our cricket team did well again, only losing by an innings this time.
Enjoy your day everyone

Busy day ahead. I'll be glad when the holiday ends and normality resumes.

If they have none then I believe nettles are good

Morning all

Very windy here in Minehead and we've had torrential rain with thunder and lightning.
Off back home this morning. Think we'll take the coastal route through Porlock and Lynton.

Morning folks looking out the window...cycling is definitely not on 'things to do' today- its freezing A bit chuffed today as i won a comp on my poetry page Chief Broom - poet at allpoetry its a nice site for amateurs who like a dabble
Tried my emergency lantern out in case of a power cut and can confirm it runs fine on tesco olive oil Lanterns like this only cost about £12 or so or can buy something more ornate/expensive and hang it on the wall

My phone BBC forecast says light rain.
Its battered down all night and all morning.
Fortunately I still have a pair of Welshies bloomers....the ones with a waterproof gusset....... so I covered the conservatory roof with them which kept the worst out.
No idea how to dry them out though
