The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. We’ve had a shower of rain but it’s really warm. Another few hot days to cope with. I’m really not enjoying the heat any more.

It’s brown (garden) bin today but I’ve nothing in mine. I’ll check Betty next door’s bin on the way back from my walk and see if she has anything in hers.

Got Wordle in 3 today after a bit of an inspired guess

Cooooeeeee. Very calm here and the sun is starting to come out. Another hot day for us I think.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all.
Clear blue sky all around.....should be nice.
My main task is to visit the auntie and sort her money out.......that can be very hard work

My main aim today is to stay cool. No not that kind of cool but cool cool.

I’m reading “ Termination Shock “ by Neal Stephenson at the moment. Its set in the near future where the effects of climate change have caused temperatures to rise to the extent that people need to wear personal refrigeration devices when venturing outside in the summer. They’re a sort of close fitting garment with chilled water pumped around fine tubes ( a sort of electric blanket in reverse )
As you’re a dab hand with your sewing machine perhaps you could knock up something similar from a spare pair of your bloomers?

Good morning all, bright but cool but sure to warm up later, my Good Lady has a rare face to face doctors appointment this afternoon ahead of her hospital appointment tomorrow, first face to face this year, its usually either can't get an appointment or a phone call.

Dam. That sounds like a brilliant idea. I. Want. One. I shall get sewing immediately. Some 3 inch pipe can be used, along with some rather natty floral material. I should look like the bees knees when it's finished

Unseemly early start here, courtesy of two young granddaughters in temporary residence 😴

I think a photo might be too much for you poor old souls.

Good day good and gentle folk of Cycle Chat.

Tuesday is usually small person day but we had a call last night to say she and mother have tested positive. Small person is OK, mother is quite poorly. Its very likely small person brought it home from nursery. I shall miss her today. ☹️

A free day then. Nothing planned. What should I do? This is novel. I should be productive 🤔..........and enjoy my sudden spare time 🤔........ooooohhh.......I could clean my bikes! Yeah!

I just right click on the picture, left click on copy on the drop down menu it brings up and then go to CC right click in the posting box and left click on paste. But it might be different on windows, I use Xubuntu a linux system.
