The Retirement Thread

Chuffing cold in that northerly wind here in Poshshire.

morning all

Whatever the weather, the novelty and joy of waking up on a Monday morning knowing I don't have to go to work has yet to wear thin

I am well used to it now after 10 years but still recall the immense joy I got in the early days.
I couldnt believe my luck, my best customer offered me a L/S to take over providing I signed a 'clear off' contract. It took me all of 3 seconds to decide

I think that's why I prefer weekdays to weekends. Nice feeling watching everyone heading off. Lol.

I spent years virtually living on motorways (over to Classic) and now I enjoy listening to the radio travel warnings......sad or what.

Morning all
Bright and clear here but cold and windy.
Just 3 things to do today
1. Feed the birds**
2. Return a book to the library
3. Get my bike down and replace the saddle
I took the saddle on my holiday but my
dodgy back hasn't enabled me to fit it
back on.
** decided just fat balls and peanuts from now on. The seed is always gone within a few days but leaves a mess of strange things growing in the flower beds

Our local Facebook page has reports of cars off the road due to black ice on the road in to the next town. I don’t miss having to drive at this time of year!

What about meal worms.....a lot of birds seem to love them.

You def don't want mealworms growing in your flower beds.

Again, they are gone within hours. I have tried putting them in seed feeders but they clog up.
I am trying with foods which the birds like but will also last a while.
I was going to try Maynards winegums but frightened of waking up to find Welshie in the garden

You could try sunflower hearts, no mess as the shells are already off.

Morning all. Late on parade today, I woke up at 6.30, but went back to sleep until 9.30.
Last nights gig was excellent, if you ever get the chance to see the Guitar legends you would be in for a treat.🎸🎸🎸

Yes, I have done so in the past.
Can they sprout??

Me too. I commuted to Knutsford for 22 years. 40 minutes when I started, anything between 90-120 when I finished. If I got away with an hour that was good!

Every time I hear of congestion J19-21 I punch the air! Saddo. 😂
