The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Didn’t sleep much but it was cosy lying there listening to the wind and rain. Seems calmer and drier now so should get out at first light. Green bin day.

Check out Soundcore by Anker on Amazon. About £35 quid, several models, and some have a £10 Voucher rebate applied at checkout if you tick the relevant box when ordering. I’ve had both the in ear “ button “ style, and the stalk type and they’re decent value for money
EDIT:
I paid about £50 for the “ Lifepro P2 “ and they’re excellent, they even do a hearing test via an app, and adjust themselves accordingly

Replying to myself, I purchased a second pair having misplaced the first, I’m almost certain that I’ve not lost them. Somewhere in a pocket or drawer, or somewhere obscure they’re waiting to be found…

I find headphones a bit like bike seats in that we all seem to prefer different ones and it’s hard to go purely on recommendations. I eventually found wires annoyed me too much and splashed some decent money on Sony wireless ones. Love them and they should do me for years.

Good morning people, its pitch black, blowing a hoolie and lashing down outside, I'll be checking fence panels later, first yoga for a couple of weeks this morning and housework this afternoon.

Think further south bore the brunt this time. It wasn’t as bad up here.

Good morning. Blacker than a black thing, wetter than a wet thing but very little wind. Our yellow warning of snow has been cancelled.

Today? Small amount of ironing and tidying to do. I should do the housework but can't be arsed and a tidy up will make things look OK.

Some cycle club and personal admin needs doing. Mrs P will get a new tablet for Christmas which I need to order. I'll probably order a new phone for me as well.

Meeting my financial adviser this afternoon for the first time in two years. She's a good friend and I'm really looking forward to seeing her.

Morning. An interesting night here. Started blowing a hoolie and driving rain around 9 pm and it's still going strong. 1 large plant in a big pot on my.patio has gone over but can't see anything else at the moment. It's still really dark here. Lots of trees blocking roads i have heard.

Stay safe peeps

Morning folks roof is still on Went into a charity shop yesterday and thought i wonder if they have a small make up compact mirror i could make into a bar end mirror...after much rummaging she found one. It wasnt really suitable but after all the effort i felt it would be heartless not to buy it and it was only 20p...but then she didnt have any change so i said call it a quid and left the shop with a square make up mirror i dont need or can use

Bored? Got half an hour to spare? Looking for a distraction? Why not pop over to the Visibility thread?

Good morning all, dawning overcast and damp here.

Morning all

It's a blewin out there me dearz!!
Still in Minehead at the moment. Apparently the wind was around 10mph higher back home. We're off in a couple of hours, so we'll see if there's any more storm damage when I get home. Should be an interesting drive along the coast road from Porlock to Lynton this morning.

What were the ear buds and what do you think of them? I am looking for some to ask Santa for but I think that anything really good is going to cost way too much.

If anybody can think of anything half decent for around £30, I'd be interested to hear about them. They should sound ok on music, but must be good for speech. I hate sibilance and boomy 'fake' bass.

I might just get some wired ones to get better quality for the money.

I already have a decent full-size pair of wired headphones. I want something smaller to use when travelling.

Most of the cheap (wired) ear buds I have tried sound really bad - usually no bass, and horribly shrill treble. Even worse no bass OR treble. Worst of the lot - no bass, no treble, distorted at low volume AND were uncomfortable!

JLAB - they were £20.
Battery life seems quite good and they have touch volume control.

I had a look in there and it hasn't got going yet.

Bosworth Water Park near Market Bosworth has closed to day visitor’s and is now being developed with private holiday lodges It was always popular during bank holidays for families campers and caravans as well as day visitors.I suppose the new developments will be more lucrative
