The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Going to Lough Rynn Castle for a few days with her indoors , bringing some books to read ,

The spookiest place in Ireland!
"Rumour says some paranormal things are going on in the area, so better be cautious just in case."

Search out the druids alter in the grounds, and the giants grave nearby.

We have lightning moving in from the sou'west. Still some distance away, but lighting up the room.
Can't hear any thunder yet, but the local dogs are going mad. Expecting a power outage if it continues moving in this direction.

And as quick as it all started, it stopped.
Never reached here, or else petered out.

Good morning folks,
First time for ages we have condensation on the outside panes of the north facing windows. Had to sort out a friends email account yesterday evening as he’d been “ hacked “, with several people in his address book having received messages, purportedly from him, asking them to send him money. ( he had a trivial, easily guessed password )
Anyway, time for coffee, off for a run along the Roman road in a while, we’ve got company on the new route as we’re being joined by the tortoise lady.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️

After 1 a

Don't start posting as early.
Often just reading when Numbnuts comes on.
There's not many on after 1am these days.

After 1 am.......I wonder why that is

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple on the Bus this morning.
Been perusing ride on lawn mowers, online, with a view to getting one when we move.
More viewings of our place booked in this week. Had 10 so far, and one serious offer.

Good morning people

Good moaning .
Lots of heavy rain last night which, like Classics lightning, suddenly stopped.
Went to bed with plans for today.... woke up bereft of any ideas. Feeling really lethargic.

Cooooeee. It was raining all night here.

Looks like the sun is trying to show its face now.

Stay safe peeps

But I’m not coming!

Just up as there was no point in getting up earlier as the rain was lashing down. It seems to have eased now but it’s really muggy and uncomfortable.

Good Morning............Hey, Hey, Hey its a beautiful day. Hope everyone is well? I have one load on the line, table cloths etc. from yesterday, a white wash on the go (good drying day), chicken in the slow cooker - £4.99 and will give us two night's meals plus soup for lunches - and flapjack in the oven............when I retired I had imagined life would be a little less hectic.

Out for a 50/60 miler shortly which I'm really looking forward to, a "flat and chat" otherwise known as the Monday Meander. See ya all soon...............

Morning everyone . Big storm here too last night . Looking ok this morning . Still in bed drinking tea at the moment .Wife and daughter are considering going for a swim later this morning while the weather is still good .It’s not for me though😂😂😀.
I will be more than happy looking after their stuff and drinking a takeaway coffee on the beach .😀

View from our balcony at 8.00am this morning . You cannot believe we are only about 90m from the town centre and the sea front .

Did they show the haymaking and the stooking of the oats, for keeping them dry until the threshing mill could get there?

Done both, and a few more now considered outdated.

I remember haystacks in the fields And stooks of corn

We have been binge watching old episodes of spooks.
