The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

So much division in the world. Sometimes on my early wanders I think about stuff. I'm walking along in a beautiful area, feeling totally safe and knowing that I will be returning to a comfortable home with food in the cupboards and fresh water from a tap and elsewhere there are millions living in tin shacks or tents, barely any food, probably walking miles for some stinking water and others who are wondering if a bomb is going to land on them any second. We really should be so grateful for what we've got shouldn't we.

Grateful maybe; guilty or apologetic, never.

Sometimes it appears that half the world is drowning while the other half is on fire.

And still they drive their cars 400 metres to the shops for a pint of milk.

Sadly, that is the human race for you. Humans can be kind and caring but also evil and greedy. We are lucky to be born in a reasonable part of the world but I think greed will affect us all in the end and will be our downfall.

Yes, you can already see it happening in our own country now sadly.

The wedding went very well yesterday, the weather was perfect for it.
Today was the pool party which also went very well. The weather was a bit warmer than yesterday, around 28⁰, but of course there was always the pool to jump into, of which I spent as much time in there as out.
Home tomorrow, I see the weather is a bit different there.

You may still have a pool to jump into, it just won't be a swimming pool.

Cooooooeeeee. After 24 hours of rain, we now have rain, wind and lightning 🌩 for today. And we have 2 out of 3 already. All we need is the lightning.

Stay safe peeps

Thunder, what about the thunder?
You can't have lightning without thunder!

It didn't mention thunder, it only showed lightning. To be fair, how do you show thunder on a weather ap when it's sound

Ah ha! I wondered why it was raining so much......it's the Royal Lancashire Show this weekend. Guaranteed rain, never visit Lancashire the weekend of the RLS.

Cars cleaned, gleaming like shiny things.
