The Retirement Thread

I was up at 0530 and as threatened have been back to bed. Seriously crashed out for 90 minutes then BUMP was awake.
Going to watch golf then footy on tv

I like the way that you are showing your Wordle progress without the pictures giving away the answers. I will pinch that idea for my game(s).

Wordle 218 4/6

⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜
⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜
⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Actually, that gives me a great idea... I will get the game to make an animation showing progress from start to finish, but with the pieces made invisible. That way, a player can prove that they solved the game without giving a puzzle spoiler.

This is why I never finish my games - I keep adding new features and fiddling about with colours, shapes etc.!

You'll have made a note of the County mentioned?

I'm listening to the Young Dubliners album at the moment, " Follow me up to Carlow " 🎻

Salut. Lazy day today, no motivation to do much. Took Molly for a walk, played with her for a bit, took two links off my wife's watch as she was complaining it was too loose,and did my two puzzles on the laptop ,
I did think about going for a ride but that is as far as I got so maybe tomorrow ?
Whilst walking Molly earlier,a motorbike was coming towards me from a long way off, and because it had three main lights on, one on top and two on the side, it looked like a lit up christmas tree on the road. Can't fail to see it.
Right, back to doing nothing now, how exciting is that?

I did. And the town.

Afternoon all, today's dinner has been prepped and is ready to start cooking.
Half shoulder of lamb, the spuds have been par boiled for roasting, as have the parsnips. The spring greens, swede, and carrots are all prepped. Dinner will be about 3.30.

I have just signed up with Discovery + so I can get Eurosport for the new cycling season. It was on offer at half price, £29.99 for the year. There does seem to be a lot of other channels on there as well. It'll be better to watch the cycling on the telly as you can cast it onto the big screen.

Just throwing balls.

I am tempted to do a Classic and ask if the dog can throw them far.......but I won't do that

I signed up for it last year and found the coverage so awful I rarely bothered watching.

If it's that bad, I can always cancel at the end of the year.
Was it the commentators? I know that Sean Kelly can be a bit hard on the hearing after a while, and I have heard the Carlton Kirby can be a bit shouty at times.

Been out for a little walk, mostly overcast but odd moments of Spring-like sunshine. Several hearings of a woodpecker drumming.

Greater spotted, or lesser spotted?

I'd say Lesser Spotted as he only heard it/them.
