The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

23 mile hybrid bimble done. Overcast, misty, murky and a faint drizzle occasionally and very humid so not the most pleasant of conditions, but it's either that or wait till the sun comes through and cope with the heat. Roll on autumn.

Anyone that enjoys early morning TV, the mens road race at the Olympics is on tomorrow.

What time ?

What time ?

Very early I think. Probably only suitable for larks like me. Lol. I think it may well be in the concluding stages by between 5 and 6.

Good morning all, another cool and grey one here. Supposed to brighten up later, a high of 19 forecast.

the only person out of about half a dozen who was wearing a mask

Spoke to my mother in Minehead yesterday, she reckons everything is ‘back to normal’ down there. So she was most affronted when, on visiting her solicitor, she had to wait at the door to be let in, he insisted on mask and sanitiser, and had his desk positioned behind a perspex screen. I tried to tell her that to me those sound like sensible precautions in an area with nearly 200 cases per 100,000 but my words, as ever, were lost on her

I think I read it starts at 3am. So yes, you’d need to be up with the laverock to see it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Morning all

Yay! It's Fish Friday
Off to visit Hembury hill fort this morning, then lunch at the local.
Bit cooler today, which is pleasant for some (MrsD doesn't do heat, but I love it).
Might have to nip to ALDI for some essentials sometime today or tomorrow. Hope that the bog roll bandits haven't stripped the shelves!

You country folk don't need bog roll.
Some grass, wrapped up tightly in nettles....job done.
No thanks needed

Edit Just checked again .Unsettled for the whole of next week.Beginning to think they make the forecasts up as they go along

My dad could always tell the weather,don't know how he did it.He had this old manky piece of seaweed which he nabbed from Scarborough beach it hung outside the back door.He would touch it every morning.If it was hard and crinkly it was a dry day,if it was wet and slippery it was a wet day.He was always right.

Grass is suprisingly effective as an a***e wiper, I haven't tried a dock leaf though.

We country folk are well hard.
