The Retirement Thread

Everything is down to the PC brigade these days.

Sorry to disappoint you but it’s nothing about being PC , it’s just about being accurate about what the award is for . Plenty of foreign films are in English 😀

Morning all . It’s a lovely sunny start to the day in tropical Coventry 😀 and I should be thinking about going for a walk or a cycle.
But I did end up sailing yesterday after all, so today I am walking like spotty dog out of the woodentops 😂😂😀

Morning folks bright and not windy, will be out for a spin later [for some reason the letter 'p' is sticking/not working on my laptop unless i press extra hard...i just wrote out for a sin ]

Hey Chief....here are a coupla pics of cold frames I made some years ago out of 8x4 3/8 inch plywood reinforced along the edges with 1x2s. Also used 6 mil plastic sheeting with another 8 ' 1x2 for the cover with Bulldog clips holding the plastic on at the high end. That way I could flip the cover back with the 1x2 holding it down in the front. I had a cheap clamp light for each frame with an incandescent 100 watt bulb. I mostly used these to keep potted plants alive through the fall when we have many warmer days mixed with -7C nights. Mrs 12 loves to have 30-40 pots of flowers and herbs and she can keep them going another month or two. Being able to flip the cover off makes watering a lot easier. BTW theyare bolted together so the for can be disassembled for transport or storage.
Be well and safe.

Excellent! bodgers of the world unite! im waiting for my saw to arrive and i shall begin, i will endeavour not to cut my thumb off or knock myself out with a backward hammer stroke and end up in A+ E [much as i love nurses].
Heres my timber selection, like the expert elephant carver who was asked how he carved elephants who said "i remove the parts that dont look like an elephant".....i shall remove the parts that dont look like a cold frame [hopefully]

Morning all... I got rudely woken at 7o/c by a ping text telling me to top up my household bill account, I would never have remembered otherwise.
A trip to the skip/recycling centre lunchtime, more rubbish to get rid of seems to be the highlight of the day.

Wordle in 3

Enjoy your day folks!

Morning. Dry and bright here. 2 deg and feels like 1 deg. Might be another nice day here.

And believe it or not, we are very nearly half way through March for goodness sake

Stay safe peeps.

Just think, March '94 gave us three foot of snow.
And that was the second half of the month.

I did say everything, not one thing specifically

 

[welsh dragon]

Anyhoo. Dishes done. Vacuuming done. Bedding done. I have been a busy bee again. I must be careful not to overdo it.

I am still not looking at jeans. I have seen a nice blouse or 3 though

Nice on the dunes this morning.

You need a lie down after all that, possibly a nap as well followed by "elevenses".

Salut tout le monde.
I decided to take my Specialized Roubaix to the LBS this morning to have the head set seen to so off I went, bike on one side and Molly on the other for a 2 kms walk to the shop. I got there at 9.45 but it was closed so I thought they might open at 10.00 so I sat down by the beach for 10 minutes and then went back , only to read on the sign on the wall that they are closed on Mondays.
Guess where I will be going again in the morning? Nice walk for Molly though and this time, she will have a nice run on the beach on the way back.

I know. I even managed to put clean bedding on the bed. That's no mean feat

 

[welsh dragon]

It's a gorgeous day here. Blue skies and sunshine. Lots of warmth coming through the windows

See. It doesnt always rain in Wales

 

[The Jogger]

So the sun doesn't always shine in Spain, we obviously lent it to Wales ☀️😂 We have rain forecast most of the week.

Just back from the gym, received a call from an online enquiry I made while I was feeling brave over the weekend. It's to discuss an insurance funeral plan, as things are done veery different over here. I don't believe I did this, so next Tuesday appointment at the casa. Brave for a hypochondriac, I tell ya 😂😂
