Aye lad, snow.

Are you sure it is not freezing rain?

Being up The Stelvio climb this morning (on the Turbo) 2hrs 45 mins, 16 mile of climbing, 48 hairpins, buckets of sweat lost.

Been for a 'quiet' walk over Braunton Burrows.
Got overtaken by army Snow Cats, MAN 6 x 6 carriers & Land Rovers.
Buzzed by two Herkybirds and deafened by hovercraft on the estuary!
Peaceful in the countryside? Pah!

Is it snowing up there?

Is it snowing up there?

There was snow on the peaks but it was lovely and sunny and no wind and a good selection of music.

What a change from yesterday!
Overcast, cold and showers.
Went out for a hilly 20 miles with a pal on our hybrids. Got caught out in a heavy shower on the way back and drip dried in the cafe.
Got back and the sun's come out!
Quick lunch and then doggie walking on the beach.

Nice 3k swim in a warm pool, like Dirk though I did get wet.

Aye lad, snow.

That will be why R2 was saying Larnden was coming to a swifter standstill than usual

 

[Dirk]

Off in a mo for a roundabout 5 mile walk to my local, where we have won a free Sunday lunch for two.

Any tips on how to write the retirement letter? I will have to give 12 weeks notice, and I plan to go towards the end of April, so it is time to start thinking of the wording. I would be putting the letter in at the end of January, start of February time. I have never had to write a resignation/retirement letter before as this is the only career I have ever had.

Can't help you with that one, I'm afraid. Being ex Civil Service, I just had to notify HR of my intended retirement date.
