The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Bonjour. I don't usually get up so early but my son is coming shortly to pick me up. On our way to France until Thursday .
See you all soon and behave while I am away.

Morning all

Yay, 'tis that there Fish Friday again!
We'll be going to the White Lion at lunchtime; they have a (yet another) new landlord - let's see how long he lasts.
The state of pubs in the village is dire. One has had 11 different managers in a year, others close on a whim. There's just no consistency. It's so frustrating for everyone.

Good morning folks, sunny and windy today before the rain returns tomorrow. A six mile walk to the bakers beckons. We usually bake our own bread but the Wimborne bakers cinnamon swirls are outstanding 😍

Cooooeeeee. 7 deg here. We had lots of rain and wind last night and we even had a power cut for a couple of minutes.

Feeling a lot better today. The sore throat has gone so bopefully I'm over the worst of the cold.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning folks, different early carer this morning, a lady who normally works in the office, I had to tell her what needed doing and where everything is, early Tesco dash in a bit then its the market followed by an afternoon doing chores.

That was a good sleep. Interrupted by strong gusts of wind (not me). Was in bed around 2200, woke at 0600 then zonked out again till 0800.
Maybe a croissant for breakfast then we have a shop bought spag bol for later.

Ride completed with a large dollop of rule 9 then.

Absolutely!

 

[PaulSB]

Hello! 💦💨🥶 rule #9 does not apply to Fridays..........and is in doubt for Saturday! 🤣

Well then. I'll make up the stove, change beds, white wash, hoover, dust and generally be a wonderful husband. Not much else going on to be honest.

Just had an email from Bulb to say we are £359 in credit. We have been turning everything off when it isn't being used. We turned economy 7 heaters off, and the hot water, and I haven't used the tumble drier for the last 12 months so hoorah for us.

I have to pick up Mr WD tablets from the quacks and get a few odds and sods.

Hilly Willy walk this morning. Cold, but dry at last. Better enjoy it as tomorrow is back to rain.


Still some snow hanging on top of the hills.

 

[Dave7]

It is still hissing down here.......can't recall the last day we had without rain.

Safe journey, and, enjoy!

Good morning all.
It's quite a bright morning here, if a tad windy which is cool.
Dog walking done,
I've got a meeting of the escape committee this afternoon at The Railway Bell 🚂🛎, know locally as the Ding Dong.
I'm now going to wash the bird feeders as they are empty and looking a bit grubby. It helps to keep diseases and parasites down.
Enjoy your day everyone.

 

[welsh dragon]

I am back from town. Breezy but dry here for now. At least the breeze will help dry things a bit.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Right - I'm back from the shopping
farm shop, then WIlco because SWMBO has decided we need new mattress protectors
then Tesco for everything else - probably (I normally forget something)


anyway - used the car because it is damp, cold and raining intermittently but heavily
generally miserable weather

Oh - and blowing a gales - again intermittently

so no bike riding today

currently having a chocolate muffin and cuppa

Oh - and looks like some people have had their recycling bib blow open/over so our front garden was covered in litter
so I went round the nearest gardens and put all the carp into my recycling bin

which was annoying - not because of the litter - but because it shows that many people have not taken any notice of what can and can not be put in the bin
so - lots of cartons and plastic bags - neither of which can go in!!!!!

people should be banned!!!
