The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

This afternoon I've made Cornflake cakes for the first time, they're something my Good Lady used to make with our lads when they were small and our granddaughter when she was small, she wanted to do some this afternoon but being in the wheelchair she couldn't reach anything, so I became her kitchen assistant and made them for her under her instructions.

Morning. Just back a 5 mile shuffle. Managing to keep the heart rate no higher than 130 means going incredibly slow but I'll persevere. It can take at least a month to start seeing results. At least it takes much less out of me doing this.

It was drizzling when I first went out but dry now and incredibly mild. We have rain by afternoon again though. I ended up watching an old black and white film with Sidney Poitier yesterday afternoon. It was actually quite good.

Dark here.....very, very dark.
Can't hear any rain but it is promised.

Daughter came yesterday and without any warning brought a salmon encrote. She then did mashed potato and cabbage to go with it. Must say it was all very nice.

Good morning from a dark and very wet Coventry, I can't see but it sounds like its lashing down.

Morning all

Off to the local garden centre this morning to get a house warming present for our mates, who have just moved to Winscombe.
Spent yesterday afternoon showing my neighbour how to maintain the carbon bike I recently sold him. He's 45 and hasn't a clue.

What about "A Dark Matter"?

Ooh, that looks interesting, I’m an avid reader and love the sci-fi genre.

Good morning all.
It's dark, cloudy and the rain is pouring down
It's going to last all day as well.
A nice soggy dog walk soon followed by pancakes for breakfast.
I cleaned out the skylight yesterday so there should be no running water into the kitchen today We will soon find out.

We have a perspex skylight. About 3 years ago it started leaking. After 3 days it just stopped and never happened again.....very weird.

Wander done to stretch the legs. Thought I'd better go in case the afternoon ends up wet. Just the riverside trail and a loop of the local park.

How old was it when it started, and stopped, leaking?

Got out for a walk around the neighbourhood after the storms. It's still warm out, with 19 degrees forecast towards the end of the week.

The skies have cleared here and the sun is shining

Seriously ??
About 5 years old.
The one it replaced was 20+ years old, never leaked but was discoloured.
