The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I'm expecting a visit from Simon and Henry for a rummage in my shed for an episode of Find It Fix It Flog It any day now.

To be honest Dave after 3.5 years away I even had to work out which way the rigs went on and casting was very strange, but it all came right in the end, so well pleased in what a caught.

I used to love beach fishing at night.
A fish I never caught but really wanted to was Bass.

It's empty!

I was thinking that as well, we can barely get in our shed.

8lb was my largest, had a 30lb conger from the beach too, that took some getting in

21 lb conger for me but from a boat....we ate it.

BBQ pork today

Chicken pie, chips and gravy for me.

8lb is very impressive.
Did you eat it or sell it ?

Done walking. Around 14 miles for the day. It’s quite overcast here now with a stiff breeze. Big difference from yesterday.

Fence man arrived earlier and buttressed two fence posts. All solid now.

I cut a big bush right back and took two dumpy bags of trimmings to the tip. I then removed two barrow loads of Canadian pondweed from my pond and dumped it on my compost heap.
Whilst milling around the compost heap, I spotted this little (big) fella.

At well over a foot long, it's the biggest Slow Worm I've ever seen.

I love slow worms. They all disappeared here after the neighbours 5 cats had finished. Rarely see slow worms here anymore

It's 18 x 15 feet, but starting to feel rather cramped!

On the subject of tidying storage spaces:
I did the garage-cum-shed a couple of weeks back.

Integral garage under the house - ok for a small 70's car but now great as a third millenium shed.

I feel VERY inadequate

I forgot to take this morning tablets

I've never seen a slow worm.

I've seen them in the past, I was brought up on the outskirts of a small town in Kent and there was lots of wildlife, but not seen any recently.

I'm just a poor boy and don't have much stuff to store.

I am just a poor boy and my story seldom told
I have squandered my reasistance
