The Retirement Thread

I see the 02 Dome has taken a battering, mind you it is 22 years old now.....

Wasn't it supposed to be a temporary structure anyway? I'm sure it was to be dismantled after a couple of years.

We have lost 2 fence panels and a post in the front garden. Not checked the side garden, that can wait until tomorrow.

Keeps on trying to snow here. Cools down a bit tonight and it should be white in the morning.

Lots of power outages in North Devon.
Fortunately, we're not (currently) affected.

Good Morning world. How are we today? I have Wordled in four - happy - and successfully Quordled. Good. Today will be some household admin this morning followed by footie this afternoon. The tension continues to mount on match days - see the Football Thread if you're at all interested!!

How about this for today's weather? It's still blowing a gale now and the forecast says:

09.00 rain
11.00 heavy rain
12.00 snow
14.00 mist
16.00 fog
21.00 heavy rain till 16.00 Sunday

Oh and for good measure chuck in yellow warnings for ice, wind, rain. Come on weather gods give us a break!!!

Morning. We have cold and dry. Hovering close to freezing just now so a low level walk as I suspect the hill walk will be icy.

Wordle was easier today but too many options still meant it took 5. I might try Quordle later.

We had the same pattern, at that point it becomes pure luck. I got lucky with my choice today.

Good morning all.
Cold and dark here. Max of 6° forecast.
I will inspect our broken/missing fence later though I suspect it will need a pro' to sort it.
A TV day beckons .

Morning. Cold and wet here. Weather ap says 4 deg and feels like -1 and I can well believe that.

Thankfully we missed the worst of the winds yesterday.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
Fortunately it a lot calmer outside today, but rain forecast for later.
Only one fence panel down, I will inspect it later to see if it's damaged.

Wordle in 4 .

Might get a pootle in on the velo later.

Happy days.

Good morning people, wordle in 6, its dry cold and bright but still a bit windy, rain forecast to arrive about ten, my bimble has been called of, why is it you feel worse when you've slept all night, last night was the first time I've slept through in months and I feel out of sorts this morning.

Morning folks Onward with the painting, gives me something to do with the weather like it is. Just had a letter from the council awarding me a 100 squids towards decorating costs, thats better than a poke in the eye
Commiserations to those who've suffered storm damage, its been relatively quiet here but expect something will be along.....

From my memories on facebook this morning.

Good morning folks,
It’s calm and clear at the moment, will head out for a walk before the weather turns again about 11:00.
Mrs Tenkaykev realised she booked the train tickets for the middle leg of our trip up to Edinburgh for the wrong day🤔 fortunately spotted it in time and was able to change tickets without any extra cost.
Stay safe folks ☕️🤞👍
