The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

There once was a man named Dave
Who kept a cow in a cave
It shriveled and shrank
And oh how it stank
But all he could think of was the money saved!

There was a wee lassie called Mo
Daily over hill and valley she'd go
She tried to upload to strava
Oh boy what a palava
Won't you pause a mo, for wee Mo.

I see O'Classic is getting Into the swing of things on the limerick side. Excellent they are to.

Weather is lively. It's almost as windy outside my Y fronts as within.

Morning. I'm in a seriously can't be bothered with anything mood. Went to bed at 9.30 just because I was fed up. Up and fed Molly and had a coffee but thinking of just going back to bed.

Blowing force 10 outside, we'll have to pick somewhere inside when we go out, before that I have ironing to do.

Forecast 60mph winds here today.
Fencing contractors will be happy.

Morning all, It is blowing a gale outside. Myself and MrsP will walk across the fields and stop at the cafe on the way. A bit of shopping to be done at the local butcher and greengrocers and the I'll retire to the Mitre for a couple of ales. My son has invited us over later on to watch the Spurs game and he is getting the curry in.
An update on my hand--.itis now only half the size it was. The prescribed drugs are working. Sorry John, you may have to wait for the Condor.

Well, after looking at the forecast for today and tomorrow, I changed my mind about returning to bed and jumped in the car and drove a few miles and did a nearby trail run. Bit hilly. Coming straight out of the car and setting of uphill is tough going but made it. Bath had, porridge just finished and need a cuppa now after I extract Molly from my lap.

WOW! Slept till 7.30 after going to bed at 10.45 as was absolutely nackered. Yesterday was previously reported housework blitz, followed by 6.5 mile walk, 40 minute nap, tea and then quiz night accompanied by our walking friends. About 9.30pm all agreed we were exhausted - this was the point I realised I'd been on the go for 14 hours straight!!!!

I've got a lot of holly to burn but it's raining. Think I might just arse about all day instead.

Waspinator! This is a thing and it seems to work. In a pub garden yesterday and sitting close by a Waspinator we were only bothered by one wasp despite there being many around.

The Waspinator mimics a wasp nest. Wasps are very territorial and avoid other nests for fear of attack.

My only neighbour has one of those hanging from the guttering of his house. I thought it was real when I first saw it.

Its confession time.
I enjoyed a few (too many) drinks while watching the footy last night. Today I am decidedly groggy.
Hopefully I will recover as the day progresses.
Fortunately the weather is cr*p so I'm not missing much.

 

[welsh dragon]

The weather is really c**p here as well. It's really dark and hissing down with rain. A day for.doing sod all I think.

Planning on going to an agricultural show nearby today but the weather is not playing ball so will make a final decision later. Plan B will be to go and see my son who has just come back from a holiday in Rome.

Good morning - It's windy but the rain has blown through and it should stay dry in the mid-south according to ventusky.com.

I'll be going to check the allotment this morning to see that everything is OK and going to my brother's house this afternoon. Both trips by bike. They will be windy rides but the e-bike should make easy work of them.

 

[PaulSB]

Lashing down now.
With this weather popular opinion is we will be climbing the walls by late afternoon. Just booked tickets for Blinded by the Light. Rock 'n' Roll.
