The Retirement Thread

Walked up the road to do a little shopping. I noticed the Daff's are starting to bloom

Wow early there. We are only just getting the snowdrops. The daffs are still just green shoots.

Weird. Both yesterday and today my mobile has rung with unknown numbers. I suspect a scam as I answered it yesterday and it was a recorded voice thing. Didn’t get to it in time today and it stopped but was a different number. Hope it’s not Ernie with the big one and I have ignored him!

I get the one ring and it stops number, usually the number starts with 0843 and theres several different 0843 numbers they use so blocking them doesn't stop them just slows them down, they're a scam call and if I rang them back I'd be connected to a premium rate line.

These appear to be from a mobile which is strange.

Still windy here but not as bad as it was.
Have been to the library, been for a little run, renewed car insurance, £30 less than last year, and have done the Big Garden Birdwatch for another year, two blue tits and a robin, about par for most years.
Our snowdrops have just started to flower in the last few days, daffs are many weeks away !

Incidentally, for those that might be interested, I see that this weekend’s world cyclo-cross championships are being shown on the BBC red button from 16.50 this afternoon. Women’s races today, men’s tomorrow.

Probably spoofed - I got some a while ago that were all one or 2 digits different from my own number - makes it look more genuine

They can clone any number now in order to tempt you.

Yikes! That is very unpleasant. I can confirm winds here are as bad as Storm Arwen. Fifty thousand homes in the neighbourhood without power. Aberdeen’s game at Pittodrie called off.

I got one from a mobile at 0715 this morning. It cut off as soon as the answering m/c cut in. Not the first one either at about that time on a Saturday.

I got both spellings of hoolie/hooley from lexicon...but it says hoolie by itself is riotous fracas but blowing a hoolie is a stout wind, even gale force. In the US a gale foce wind is 39-54 mph. so is 39-54 a hoolie? In Wyoming people say that when the wind blows 70 mph the weather guys say it is a hurricane but in Muddy Gap it is called Tuesday.
Be well and safe and put something heavy on your person so as not to be blown away.
