The Retirement Thread

[GM]

Good afternoon all...Today is our 44th wedding anniversary, and I celebrated it by doing the hoovering, and a bit of gardening, trimmed our Thuja Plicata hedge on the neighbour's side before some of their border plants start sprouting. Feet up now as it's started to rain.

Belated Happy birthday @Paulus

Up to a mellow -13 and will almost hit 0C. In a day it will be well over and the snow will melt by Monday, mostly. There was a bit more yesterday but it sublimates even when very cold.
A few chores to do and some Nordic Track for my sins. Should be an ok day.
A coupla pics from my front door.....you can see the tracks I shoveled so Gracie, my Rattie can get outside a bit easier. the second shows the back end of my $250 trailer which l would like to make into a tiny house some day. IIn a day or so I will unload all the newspapers, pop cans and cardboard at the recycling station in a nearby park and then will have room for more bumf. Some folks put those things in the trash but I think that is wrong.
Be safe and well.

Drops close to freezing here and most wouldn't think about going outside.

There's going to be a shortage of flour, I've just stocked up

Except for the odd nutjob who still rides their bike in shorts and short-sleeved jersey no matter how cold it is!

Isn’t that a self fulfilling prophecy? Loads of the stuff on the shelves in Tesco yesterday, from their own brand to every combination of Doves Farm, very strong Canadian, Duchy Organic, etc etc etc. I suppose if everyone panics and stocks up with more than they need “ just in case “ then there will be an effect.

But you DID have bright red arms on 28th November!

Just had a phone call from the Renault/Dacia dealer to inform me that my new car is being conceived and built in the next few weeks and should be born in April with delivery in May. Can't wait.

I get mine direct from the mills and they are running short.

No but Welshie does

Won't ask how you know.
But, if you're expecting me to believe she'll go out on her bike, at or near 0°C possibly while there's snow falling, you'll have a hard time convincing me.

Wear long sleeves!

Perfectly normal colours to be going, for me at least.
