The Retirement Thread

Watching the gymnastics on BBC2. Amazing what they can do.

It’s remained pretty dismal here all day so I couldn’t be bothered going back out. Rain to start tomorrow again

And I bet you hurt yourself just watching them!

I can hear fireworks in the distance.

I can hear fireworks in the distance.

In the distance! Lucky you.
They're going off to the front of me, the right of me and behind me. The only reason there's none to the right is there's a house there, occupants out listening to them going off in front. Adding their own to the melee.

It's like World War III out there.

Oh dear never mind.

Night night everyone. 😀

I nearly got up at 4 too as I wasn’t sleeping. Forced myself to lie for a bit longer as it was cosy. We have rain due around 8 though so I should get out soon.

I am not much of a sleeper , but since I got a new poodle puppy I am like a zombie, its worse than having a new born baby to mind. She wakes up about twice during the night and I rush to bring her outside ! no accidents so far in 3 weeks . I bought a baby monitor to keep an eye on her crate and parked an empty bowl against the door so it clatters with a metallic sound if she emerges ! then i rush down the stairs and gallop into the garden in my underpants clutching her . But she is a little dote and has stolen my heart. The elderly lady dog gets much love showered on her also so all is well.

Morning. It is absolutely chucking it down yet again I can’t face going out as everything is getting waterlogged and it’s no pleasure. Looks like a quick blast on the treadmill or rowing machine will have to do.

Good morning from a misty murky Coventry.

Cooooeeeeeee. Its dark, dank and raining. Its been raining since around 5am and looks like it's going to be this way for the day

Loads of leaves have fallen, although there are still lots more to fall. The ground looks a bit of a mess and it's a bit dangerous with wet leaves all over the place.

Stay safe peeps.

Like Classic, we were on the front line last night. Am I getting old or are they really getting louder.
There used to be a pub about 1/2 mile away (still there but closed down) and we could see their display. Now we just get the noise.

@Dirk .....don't think I wished you happy bithday yesterday so a belated one from me.

Morning all

Today's plan is to go for a walk up Codden Hill, then go to B&M to look at 'stuff' then back home to watch an afternoon fillmore.
Braunton Cricket Club put on an excellent fireworks display for my birthday last night. We watched it from half a mile away from our front window - very impressive.

It will be another pottering day for me.

It was heavy here earlier so jumped on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Forgot my towel and was starting to drip. That’s the worst of indoor exercise but I’m glad I got it for days like this. It will let me avoid icy conditions if we get any this winter.

Molly is in the kitchen again with her toy. She either tries to drown it in her water bowl or hide it behind the door. She is bonkers 🐱

From my Facebook memories this morning, I doubt many on here will need one but it made me chuckle.
