The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Goid afternoon from Banff. It was quite cool today, and some heavy rain showers.
Took a walk through the forest by the Bow River, took about 3 hours. No bears, but saw some chipmunks and a couple of Golden Eagles.
Off out this evening to try and see some more of the wildlife in the area.
This is the Bow river behind Banff.

Just in case you should see them, close up, who's the fastest runner?

Any church in it?
If not, it's a hamlet. If there is, it's a village.

There was, but it hasn't been used in a long time and has been converted into a house. It was a Chapel. The Welsh have chapels not churches.

Coooeeee. Another hot day is in store for us. 27 deg is predicted.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning folks,
Popped in to the Barking Cat after dropping our granddaughter back home. Picked up tickets for the Friday lunchtime session at Poole Beer Festival next month. 🍺🍺.
It's going to be a scorcher on the walk this morning, need plenty of fluids so will rehydrate with a pint afterwards 🍺

Morning all. 27° forecast later.
I have a 9.40 appointment at the dentist. I am so tired I could cheerfully cancel but I mustn't.

Dentist for me tomorrow, I had to fill in a health questionnaire, one of the myriad of questions was " Are you pregnant? " 🤔 There were a series of optional questions that were biased towards cosmetic dentistry " Are you happy with your smile " etc.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Coventry, first line of washings out, my Good Lady is still asleep in the back of the lounge whilst I quietly meander round Cycle Chat sat in the front.

That's not possible . Mo is always first.

Bonjour. It looks like it is going to be hot again today so I shall take Molly for a walk shortly before it does.

I was. I just didn't post. I was up just after 5.

Nice and cool to start so hilly walk done, but blue sky and sunshine already so it will be hot again within a few hours. It was a lovely sky when I set out. Nice fluffy clouds.

Morning all

Another sunny day.
Will get up shortly and start day 2 of the Watchet chainsaw massacre, before it gets too hot.
With a bit of luck I'll manage 2 or 3 trailer runs to the tip.

Morning folks had a very exciting morning.....i cleaned the fridge the most complicated/convoluted trays/drawers all sparkly clean and put back in the correct order [probably]
Another sunny day which im hoping will continue for my sweetcorn and tomatoes...its always a race before the season closes down. The 'latah' variety is ripening well but 'outdoor girl' is still green. My swiss chard has huge leaves they seem to like semi shade growing conditions
