The Retirement Thread

Back home now and it's raining.
Veggies seen to have taken over in the garden whilst we were away. Just cropped 5lb of runner beans and about 2 lbs of broccoli.

Up here in the really frozen north everything in my garden is about a month later than yours.

We have Christmas in November down here....

It was a still and humid walk this morning with midges out in force!

I see Garmin has been down for a few hours. Maybe doing a big update.......or it's just broken

I've seen reports they've been hit by ransomware. May be down for days.

Ooooh how exciting I'm first but I've been up and about with coffee since 4.45. More coffee now and then I will report in officially.

I have risen!

Morning Dodgers.

 

[numbnuts]

I'm going back to bed

Morning all.
It was a toss up between getting up or trying to go back to sleep.........I think the forrmer won although I'm not certain .
A right miserable day here but not raining.
Not sure what the plans are (if we formulate any at all).
I think I will start with a coffee and see how it goes

Looking good outside today, couple of mozzie bites on the leg from sitting beside the lake fishing yesterday, did I mention I hate fishing. Mask up day today, which means hiding my good looks and smile from lots of people, have a great day.

Good morning fellow retirees,

An early start this morning as our daughter managed to get a hair appointment for mid morning. Usually our granddaughter would be at nursery but they've closed for the summer.

We'll be taking the Brommies and heading down to Sandbanks and along the prom on the way there, there's no cycling on the Prom after 10am so a different route home.
I'll be loading up my drill and tool kit for the inevitable " dad, while you're here..."

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♀️🏃🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️🌞

Good moaning to one and all. A so so day here at the moment.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning people, this morning, woke early but couldn't go back to sleep

Good morning. Lying in bed listening to the rain beating on the roof. Cycling seems unlikely, here in Cheddar today

You weren't really.....I just didn't bother posting when I looked in earlier

I went for a short, careful and gentle bimble on the hybrid just to keep the legs turning without straining the back. Quite a bit of low lying mist which I wasn't expecting. Could have done with lights on.

Good morning all virus dodgers.
Like @screenman I have several bites from bitey flying things.
The dog will be walked and takeaway coffee and pastries will be consumed.
Out on the bike later and then an alfresco escape committee meeting with the other members on the top field.
We will probably get kebabs delivered to our gathering.

Morning all

If you're near Cheddar today, go to the Hunters Lodge at Priddy - it's a real step back in time - good beer and cheap, very basic, food (Faggots & Peas served with a chunk of bread - £5).

The place is an 'experience '.
If they are closed, I can recommend the Victoria Inn at Priddy - best pie I've ever had in a pub.
