The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Off back to Minehead again this morning to view the doer upper.
We sat down last night and went through our finances and, whichever way we looked at it, the refurb of the place was easily doable.
The only thing that's concerning me are the logistics of doing it, but I'm sure we can figure that out.
We should know by lunchtime whether we want to proceed.

Cycle Chat appears to have a gremlin in it, I keep getting a "oops we've run into some problems" error message when I click on likes and stuff, strange.

Cooeeeeee. I forgot about you lot.

Much cooler here today. No rain yet though.

I could hear the dam owls calling to each other last night.

Stay safe peeps

I just had a oops

We have rain in Poole 🌧🌧
First for several weeks. Coupled with today being black bin day, veg box day and walking group day, my cup overfloweth 😀

 

[numbnuts]

here too

Same here. Several oops so far.
Overnight rain has stopped, but some more forecast for later on.
Another bimble out on the bike later on, I don't mind if it rains on me whilst I'm out.

I've put a message in Site Support.

I don't have a boiler


Back from a wander along the riverside trail. The river is up slightly and Mr Heron was over the far side trying to catch breakfast. I see a few leaves starting to turn already. Probably the long dry spell might make them fall earlier?

 

[numbnuts]

Boiler service all done and he left me a carbon monoxide meter as well

 

[welsh dragon]

I don't have a boiler either. I have a wood burner that heats my whole house. Nothing to go wrong with it and in the winter I can cook baked potatoes in it as well so it's a win win for me.

Houseworky stuff done ✔️

I am attempting to service and fix my sewing machine. It's at least 50 years old so it's all mechanical. I am waiting for Mr WD to find me the right size screw drivers, and de greaser and with YouTube and a bit of luck I will be able to fix it. If not then it's a case of Mr WDDDDD, "fix my machine" and "it wasn't my fault".

 

[Mo1959]

The site is doing my head in with the constant errors.

 

[welsh dragon]

Mr WD is now rolling his eyes at me when he asked me what size screwdriver and nut I need to remove. How the hell do I know. Small?

Too many pages to catch up but has anyone else commented on Marriage on BBC?

Watched the lot on iPlayer and it is without doubt the worst BBC drama I have ever seen - and I have seen lots.

Tedious in-extremis.

Dreadful opening/closing 'music' too.

Shame as Walker & Bean are fine actors.
