The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

And just thought (OK - a rarity I know)
maybe I/we can get one for the Liverpool area and one for Cheshire
whatever those 2 terms mean
still - an area of research for tomorrow - and I shall spread the result amongst the oldies in the area

As far as I'm aware, you can't apply for two bus passes, in different areas. One should cover both regions.

 

[Chislenko]

Yup - and trains and ferries take bikes!!!

Despite a bit of investigation I can not find the area of where people have to live who can apply for it, i.e. when does Liverpool end going out towards Speke, Runcorn, Bootle, Crosby, Formby? etc. I would imagine the tunnel will be the limit the other way.

And we are back to torrential rain. Sounds like a bit of hail as well.

Was the hail bouncing back up around the six inch mark?

I was just chatting to my nephew when we heard a scuttling sound along the top of his wardrobe. The next moment, a fiend from hell threw itself upon us!

I ran for cover and took this picture from a safe distance...

OMG - the wildlife in Devon is scary compared to that in Yorkshire and Lancashire!

But would you eat it?

Absolutely. Welsh Rarebit is a delicious but very occasional treat.

I could do with one right now after a rather painful visit to Yorkshire. Fail to win on Saturday and I think we're done for.

Very wet snow laying on the M62 near Hartshead. Just as well Snakepass was closed as it was probably worse up there. We have snow forecast for the morning.

Ooo. First proper snow. I’m not risking a walk as it was icy last night when I went to bed so it will be ice under the snow which was what caught me out last year.

Good morning people, I'm still in bed, I looked outside just now and its very dark and wet, I've got some house work to do and thats it for today, I wordled in four today.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
It's rain heavily which is forecast to turn to sleet later. The cats run off down the garden not looking happy, but it's their choice to go.

Wordle done in 4 this morning.

Another soggy dog walk in the offing, but although she doesn't like going out in the garden when it's raining, as soon as I pick up her lead she's rearing to go.

Another day in paradise.

Morning that looks lovely Mo. We had a dry and calm night here. Let's hope the snow stays away.

Stay safe peeps

Nope

Something else off the bucket list that I probably won't repeat. I've just done a half marathon on the rowing machine Took it very easy as I was just wanting to finish. Better go and get a steep in the bath I think.

From my Facebook page this morning, Lol!

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, proper snow here too.

 

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Cold, dank, miserable. That's just me! No, it's horrid outside, currently heavy hail.

Dentist at 9.30 so I need to get a wiggle on, not much planned after this but will get the bike out if weather permits it.

A friend is 70 today. We're popping round for a glass this evening
