The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all, 1st out of the trap.
A grey start to the day here.
I feel another bimble coming on later.
Dog walking and domestics first.

I noticed yesterday that one of the drain inspection covers in the drive has broken. It has been cracked for sometime but a piece has now snapped off. Being an old 1930's iron one it will be a bit of a faff trying to get one a similar size, so some improvisation will be needed.

Stay safe everyone

I'm not a fan of apple sauce.

Nor am I. Plus it just 'doesn't go' with it imo

Good morning fellow retirees,
A bright start to the day, our sunflowers 🌻 are out, we have three amongst the lavender plants. I like the way they follow the sun during the day, this morning they look like three smiling faces looking at me as I sit in the kitchen drinking coffee ☕️
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️☕️👍

Morning Paulus.
On my 2 mile walk I go past a house which has a broken cover. I often think "there must be companies that specialise in those things".
Maybe worth posting it on the home/DIY section.
Failing that, Mr Google is your friend

Morning all. Very gray and overcast here.**
Chill day today.
Been up since 0500. Washing up has been done and put away.
MrsD needs her hair washing. Apart from that.......not much.
**it has, literally, just started raining .
Tempted to say ah well the garden needs it ......but it doesn't

@numbnuts
Back to bread making.......a question.
I tend to stick with wholemeal but if I don't add strong white flour then it doesn't rise properly.
Do you not add white to your brown recipe.
If not, does it ever fail to rise properly ?

Good day people. It's a tad chilly round the house this morning. We did leave a couple of windows open so I guess that's why, must have been quite cool outside overnight. Light cloud, breezy and the sun is trying to come out. We're heading out for an amble to the coast, coffee, bacon barm and home again. I have a cycle club committee meeting tonight. With luck I'll get the chance to clean bikes this afternoon. 🤞🤞

Earlier today a game called Water Sort popped up on my FB feed. I always ignore these but this one grabbed my attention. I installed it. WARNING!!!! It is highly addictive. I have wasted about 90 minutes. It's now deleted..........................forever!

I've popped the heating on to take the edge off. Don't tell Mrs P or it will be on all the time! 🤫

Morning. Dull overcast and grey here as well.

Today I have to go to town to get Mr WD meds, then double back and go to Newtown to do the shopping, so busy busy for us.

Stay safe peeps.

Morning all

Bit overcast here this morning.
Off to Minehead LIDL for a snatch and dash.
Going to have a look around Bossington and Selworthy this morning and possibly lunching in Porlock.

Good morning all, my Good ladies phone rang half seven this morning, it was the carers telling us our carers sick and they'd have someone with us about eight. Thats the first time they've done that.

Good morning all, cool and cloudy here.

 

[Mo1959]

Also a bit gloomy and cloudy here but I didn't find it cool, but it's maybe just me as I seem to be feeling the heat this year for some reason. Could be the extra blubber I'm carrying

Bonjour. Another trip to the tip is booked for 10.50 am. We are only allowed two bookings a month so that will be it until next month now.
Nothing else planned so far so let's see how the day goes.
I heard that Covid figures are on the up in North Wales. I blame all the tourists from England coming here and spreading it around.
Stay safe folks.
