The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

A reasonable sleep last night. Was in bed early and woke at 0630.
MrsD loves Sunday morning radio 2. I will go and watch recorded footy then Chelsea vs Utd.
Wind has died down.
Strangely we don't seem to have any damage this time. We are and end house and exposed so in strong winds we tend to lose roof tiles or/and fence panels.

Good morning all, half an inch of snow here but it looks very wet and not likely to last long. A few flurries still falling.

Ended up going up the hill. Surprisingly, given it's a lot more exposed there was no sign there had been a storm. The woodland is much better managed up there and no dead and rotten trees next to the path to come down.

Big change in the view from last week. That's why I never tire of it. Looks so different through the seasons.

I'm back. Fell asleep again till 8.30. A good thing. It's daylight now and the new Ice Age didn't arrive last night as we don't even have frost! Forecast is 50% chance of snow at 13.00. I feel Chorley CC have upset someone at the Met Office........

Looks like it might be a decent day here. Sunshine now. We are due rain by 2 or so it says. Might do a load of washing

We have a company called Premier Care for the auntie. It was a nightmare to start with but that was the actual carer. We got them to agree never to send her again and its been OKish since. They have you over a barrel as you will struggle to find another company.

Most of the carers are fine, we've come across the occasional one who's been poor, one I reported to the office, but the carer who's been our regular one, Anna, has been exceptional with a very high standard of care, but its the office we've been having trouble with, we've made it clear that we don't want the carers here at very early times but it took the intervention of the social worker to get them here mostly at a reasonable time for the last couple of months, my Good Lady doesn't want them here early. I don't mind them early in the summer but don't want them early this time of year.

Now the sun is shining, my weather ap may well have been correct with the -2. I can see frost on the ground

I've just been down the paper shop and I can confirm its colder than a witches mammary out there this morning, I've also had a complaint from management, I got back and had to help the lady with the commode, she wasn't impressed with my cold hands.

Brrrrr it's taters out there. Only 5° out the front. Going to have to put my polar fleece liner into my Barbour jacket for this morning's walk.

 

[PaulSB]

Finished perusing my FB feed and time now to actually do something. Enjoyed these

Back again. Popped back to FB to read a link a friend sent. Happened across this while I was there. Brought tears to my eyes......🤣🤣

Housework done. Washing done. Washing outside. MR WD says it's bloomin freezing outside. He is wearing his thermals ( not a pretty sight) and he is wearing other clothes as well @classic
