The Retirement Thread

[rustybolts]

Thought provoking, tragic and very sad

Been heavy rain here all morning and some rumbles of thunder.
Went to Aldi at 0800.
No small semi skimmed milk.
No lemonade (only the cheap, nasty stuff)
No packs of still water.
What is going on.

Reasonably productive morning as I am enjoying peace and quiet with my neighbours being away. Bucket of soapy water and washed my shed down ready for another couple of coats of Sadolin Superdec paint but we are due rain so better not do it till tomorrow. Once the bin lorry had emptied the garden waste bin I set to work cutting quite a bit more of a couple of shrubs out the front and filled it again. Time for lunch now.

We have and 22.3c, I'm off for a walk

11C outside here and only 15C in my living room... Thermals donned and convector heater on AGAIN!

It was raining heavily an hour ago here. Just drizzle now though...

June starts tomorrow. Can someone remind me which 3 hour slot summer is booked for this year?

Well, at least the chilly wind is absent!

Just got back from a 15 mile bimble.
Torrential rain, lightning and thunder. Got absolutely soaked. Now the sun has come out.
More of the same weather forecast though.

Torrential showers since 10 am

As you get older here's

Spoiler: Something to consider

Bright sunshine and warm now. I got all my washing dry in the end. I now have the windows open

There was a brief break in the crappy weather and the sun peeked through the clouds. The roads were still wet though and I don't have mudguards on my roadworthy bikes so I decided to walk into town for my Metro, and then called in at Aldi for a few items.

When I joined the checkout queue there was a tough looking biker ahead of me. Clearly a fan of Motorhead, he was wearing a sleeveless denim jacket on which there was a photo of the late Kilmister and the caption 'Lemmy Forever 1945 - 2015'. OMG... had he never actually listened to the lyrics of Ace of Spades?!!!



"I DON'T WANT TO LIVE FOREVER..."

I considered tapping him on the shoulder and pointing out his grave error...

... but my will to live was too strong!

On the way home I felt a few spots of rain, so I upped my pace and got in my door just as another downpour started!

Sounds like our morning weather. I went another short walk and glad I didn't stay out longer as the heavens have just opened here. Good job I didn't do my painting either. Think the next few days are looking more promising.

Enjoyed my ride on the Tarka trail. 67kms ( 42miles) done and back at my daughter's now for a relaxing evening.

Weird, we have 3 grandchildren and its amazing just how different they are.
