The Retirement Thread

I’ve watched Vera.

I've not watched it in years. Is she still giving Jack a hard time?

Weather was miserable but dry and not cold - so managed to go out for a ride

Had to make it short (1 hour) as a visit to my wife's sister was brought forward a few hours - but still managed it
Best today as the next two days look windy and very wet

Nice to see some of the family

Christmas day here rained most of the time but not cold >20C. I measured 25 mm in the gauge on Boxing Day morning.
It was dry in the morning on Boxing day so I was able to the Rolloff oil change on my Thorn Mercury. In the arvo a band of orange rain cells crossed and we had about 5mm. In fifteen minutes.
Dry and humid and about 25C this morning for my 45 km ride with my Wednesday group. We lingered at the coffee shop for longer than usual.

Morning. It’s cold, rain/sleet and very windy. I won’t be venturing out apart from putting the paper/cardboard bin out.

Morning all.
It's a damp start to the day here. More rain and wind forecast for later on.
Several items to be returned to online shops today. Returns labels have been printed and affixed to the packaging. Just got to go and deliver them to a collection point.

Good morning Mo......and other old farts.
Decent though broken sleep enjoyed but again was awake at 0530.
Raining steadily but not as heavy as promised.
@Dirk ....sorry but I don't know what I'm having for breakfast yet

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Been invited to lunch by our mates in Minehead.
I think there will be turkey on the menu......
Very wet and windy here today as storm Gerrit makes inroads.

Good morning folks,
It's blowing a hoolie ( I can hear the wind noise as we have a gas fire and the chimney flue is a kind of untuned musical instrument)
Another sleepover last night with Mrs Tkk sleeping on the super comfy sofa bed with granddaughter and me having the double bed all to myself.
Second part of my shingles jab at the Doctors surgery this morning.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Right - so that's Christmas over

just the rest of teh turkey to finish so it'll be that and chips tonight

weather is wet and windy and probably chilly - so I'm staying it mostly - certainly no bike!

do need to check if blood tests have come back yet - iron was low apparently so I have been taking tabletes for 6 weeks
also dentist says I need another checkup - last one seems recent but I suppose I better ring and make an appointment
will also need to try to make one for SWMBO - who is highly dentist phobic and hasn;t been near one for over 10 years!
I suspect hers will need to be private - but at least she is asking me to try to sort it out!

My word Meanwood is very wet.Part of the garden is flooded.But don't worry.it's the area where the pebbles are and nine sink holes to drain away water,i laid it out like that.But there is a lot of water.
