The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

That's not a sonic boom - that's a freedom boom! I hope the moment you heard it you stood in front of a picture of the queen and saluted.

Morning to all.
Colder than yesterday here. The fost on the lawns never fully went and is thicker still today.
No jobs as such to do so another relaxing day.
We plan to go out tomorrow whatever the weather.......not sure where to though. Maybe Liverpool??

A very cold, heavy frosty good morning to all. My blue car has turned white overnight and I doubt if it would go up the drive this morning as it is so frosty. No plans of going anywhere apart from taking the dog for a run on the beach shortly. Cycling would be suicidal in these conditions. Wrap up warm if you go out every body and keep the heating on.

morning........breakfast is going to be late again..............

Just finishing tidying up, then I'll settle down to watch an episode or two of the Grand Tour.

I am off out to clean our windows, lampshades down and cleaned and a new light fitted under units in kitchen already this morning, I am flying. Cold and very bright out there, looking good.

Just back after a short hour on the bike. Front mech cable went ping at about six miles. Took it as a sign and beat a hasty (and frosty) retreat.

Doggie walked over at Broadsands.
Lots of migratory birds coming in to over winter now.
It's only 7° out there this morning with a bitter NE wind.
Back home for a coffee, then off for a stroll down to the village for Sunday lunch.

Molly had a good run on the beach and now is drying up after her usual "after the beach" bath. I salted the drive and now for a lazy rest of the day. The sun is out and will do the job of defrosting both cars. I am expecting a delivery from Amazon for a tv signal booster as my wife requested to have tv in our bedroom but the signal is weak on the usual channels. I hope this piece of technology will do the job,
How many of you all have a tv in your bedroom?

What we having, don't mind waiting.

No tv in the bedroom here, far better things to do.

 

[welsh dragon]

No TV for me either.

The sun is out and I have let the fire die down. When it goes cooler this afternoon I will light it again. Saving any bit of wood helps to make it last longer.

 

[Dave7]

No bedroom tv for us iether. By the time Mrs D has finished chasing me around the bedroom there would be no time left to watch it.
Welshie.....what other forms of heating do you have?
We spend most time in the conservatory and have an oil fired electric heater.
The lounge, where the tv is has a gas fire.
On winter mornings we also wack the central heating on for a few hours.

Icicles on the bike shed and still minus 2. Needless to say the bikes will be staying where they are.

Just the wood burning stove. No gas supply here. If we wanted central heating it would have to be LPG or Oil and the price of those 2 have shot up over the years making it non viable.
