The Retirement Thread

[Chief Broom]

Morning folks feeling decidedly wintery this morning and theres snow on the menu. Feeling good about getting a new place to live- light at the end of the tunnel
I discovered yesterday that Curlews flying over will respond to a mimicked call....i can add this to my lists of bird bothering varieties Oystercatchers, Ringed plovers and Wigeon will also whistle back if whistled to......OK gotta go my nurse has arrived with my medication

Morning all

Yay! Guess what day it is?
Meeting up with best mates from Minehead for a walk around Heddon Valley and lunch at the Hunter's Inn.

It's usually pretty good there.

No idea Dirk.
What day is it

Morning. 2 deg and feels like -1 according to my weather map. Dull, damp and a bit of mist over the hills.

I have a loaf of bread baking my the bread maker. Yum

Stay safe peeps

I will be putting a crusty Ciabatta loaf on soon.

Good morning, world.

Currently 8 degrees, breezy with light cloud on Planet Thanet. The temperature is forecast to drop to 5 by this afternoon, with a band of rain passing through around lunchtime.

We will go via Miss Salad's house this morning to drop off a duvet - she is borrowing one as she has friends visiting for the weekend. We will also drop off her birthday presents in time for Sunday.

Apart from a bit of provisions shopping, I shall mostly stay in today. I need to work on some songs to play next weekend, when we will be away with some guitar chums.

Stay safe and keep well, everyone.

That was impressive, I ordered tablets from Oxford Vitality, vitamins D3 and K2, at 7:51 this morning and they'd dispatched them by 8:45am.

I like Oxford Vitality, but I also get a lot from ZipVit, they're also on Top Cashback. I find them to be cheaper on a lot of their tablets plus they often have other offers such as 10% off everything (and cashback, did I mention that!).

Good morning all, a bright and breezy 2° here.
Enjoyed watching Michael Portillo exploring Brora yesterday, and the interview with the local putting the case that the Duchess of Sutherland wasn’t all bad, that she thought she was doing her tenants a favour by clearing them from their homes. Must take a trip on that rail route sometime.

A chilly 4.5 mile walk done. Bit of a shock to the system these changing temperatures. Was double figures yesterday and just over freezing this morning. Hoping we avoid the sleet showers that are forecast for some parts.

The snow is forecast for the southeast, the "country" will be brought to a standstill by it.

I have a load of washing in the machine as well. I have been a busy little bee.

Small washer?

Totally agree, top news story, "South of England hit by heavy snow, thousands isolated"

Morning you lot

Which one? Nothing up here as far as I am aware. Quick google and all I can see is one in Yorkshire.
