The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Cold here, minus 2 so dread to think was it got down to overnight. But no more snow which is a blessing.
15 year old grandaughter stayed over with a mate last night. Fortunately we have a granny flat built on so they just take that over. They are both nice girls but it will still be like a bomb site by tomorrow.
Mrs D lost her phone yesterday so mentally went over the last shop she went to (the co-op), phoned them and some honest soul has handed it in.

If i get any closer to the fire i may well burn myself to a crisp.

It appears that we are on pancakes for lunch. They have been for breakfast but the 2 girls are making them and I doubt they will emerge till 12.00.

Not exactly deep n crisp n even but we have got a good covering of snow this morning.

Feeling a bit grotty, still got the tail end of a cold and had a few beers last night. I don't drink much these days so when I do it hits me hard.

Went to see the Fun Loving Criminals last night and they were fab even though Huey Morgan had to play sitting down as he's broken his foot. Barry White saved my life was the highlight for me. Only fizzy lager and keg bitter in the venue. Why can't they sell decent booze at gigs?

Going to see The Dead South tonight (get us - gigs on consecutive nights). Expecting Americana but other than that I've no idea what they're like.

This came up in my news feed, some of the very cold places makes us look warm.

We went to a 'gig' weekend before last. It was good, the drinks were good and cheap.....and it finished at 23.30.
We were asked to do to another one the next night but my body said no thankyou.

I keyed on my postcode and it gave temperature as +6 but its was nowhere near that. My phone gave is as +1.

I don't think I'll go for a walk today as the pavements are cover in ice and I don't want a new hip just yet so I think a day at home in the warm will do me me good.

How about some pavement crampons?

Still very cold here in the wind, but it is a sunny day and the snow is thawing where the sun shines on it.
