The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Just back from a blustery walk, another 10k+. Thats a seven day streak and 82k over the last seven days. No side effects from yesterday’s Covid jab apart from a bit of a sore arm. Another Pfizer so I’ve had two of each, Pfizer and AZ 💉💉💉💉👍

Afternoon folks had an interesting walk...one minute it was a glorious crisp sunny walk with a good covering of snow....then the sky blackened from the west and it was howling sleet with the wind moaning on the wires, even wearing a trapper hat my skull was freezing up I popped in to look at this bungalow, its fine and what you would expect for a council granny/grandad single occupancy. Last person [who probably expired] must have been a keen gardener as there are clematis going up the drain pipes and a variety of small fruit trees planted- it'll do

That’s good news 👍

Happy new home

Good afternoon all, just back from a long walk with the dog. We have had a right mixture of weather. Sunshine, clouds, rain at times, even when the sun was out, and quite windy all the time.
Several pints of ale in the Mitre and a walk home.
Another good day in paradise.

Did I say the sun was out? Within minutes of going out there was horizontal snow and I resembled the Yeti. Was quite heavy for a while before going off again. The sun has briefly popped back out but not for long I suspect. No wonder inexperienced hill walkers get into difficulty not being prepared for such sudden and drastic changes in conditions.

I see there is an excellent thread on Trans cyclists. One to be avoided like the plague.

Has it gone? I can’t see it now.

Ah, it was locked. There’s a surprise. It wasn’t actually going too badly. Bit of a shame things like that can’t still get discussed.

Locked, but still there.

Wow. This snow boarding is amazing!

Mr WD commented " looking at the new Reacher is like me looking in the mirror". I nearly fell off my perch laughing

Is there something we've missed here...........for years.

Bobbed into the Trans thread. Interesting to see the posters who turn up after months away.

I tried to read the Daily Mail link and found it just about impossible with all the ads.

You put a blanket over her cage at night and she goes quiet/to sleep.

You thinking of giving it a go?

There’s a Japanese female skier called Tomitaka and I keep thinking the commentator is calling her Tommy Tucker

There's an Alpine skier called Fanny Chmelar........

Can I presume that you're all tucked up in bed(your own) asleep?
That is aside from Welsh Dragon, who has simply had a blanket thrown over her to get her to sleep on her perch.

My good lady is asleep in her bed in the back of the lounge, I'm sat in the front of the lounge, the light and tele is on and I'm sat here on CC on my tablet, once I've drunk my tea I'll be switching everything off and going upstairs to my bed.
