The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Someone has stolen the sun.

Here it is!

Ooops - too late! At the very moment I took the picture the weather changed...

That was looking down over the Aldi car park as I walked back from picking up today's Metro from the railway station. I wanted to see how the camera would cope with poor light. Answer - pretty well. My old phone camera would have produced a dark murky mess of pixels.

I have set this phone up to upload all pictures to Google Photos. By the time I get home any pictures are waiting online for me to access from my laptop; very handy!

Worked (sorry for using that word) in Gibraltar quite a lot, and, spent many a pleasant and enjoyable weekend in Estepona, and inland from there.

Have been back since retirement, a few times, in our Motorhome

You must know the village of Casares then BondonLad,

That is not strictly true... I have a small mobile data allowance (only 1 GB/month) so my phone's mobile data access is normally turned off. I only turn it on if I need to go online when travelling and immediately turn it off after checking the weather/timetable/whatever.

The pictures actually get uploaded as soon as I get back within range of my wifi network. At any rate, by the time I have made a mug of tea and switched the laptop on, the pictures are online.

I'm doing a 'classic' now and spotting small details in photos! I wonder if I should tell the owner of the nearer house that one of their slates has slipped and is currently resting on their attic Velux window?

Wouldn’t say “know”, but, the name is familiar.

I wondered why my glasses felt odd on my face. One side is broken and hanging off .

It's only half, the other half is still on place.

It's only half, the other half is still on place.

But it feels odd. New pair ordered so I won't be lopsided

You've lost half a slate/got half a slate missing?

Correct post quoted this time!

That's what I said, only half.

Not the traditional size for those parts either.

 

[ColinJ]

Yes... That's what I am STILL agreeing with!

 

[ColinJ]

But I don't have time to sit around agreeing with you all evening - I have to cook something!
