The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Back in France this afternoon.

Crappy few days, home turbo started overheating after 5 minutes of riding, had to cobble together some external CPU fans and hope for the best

Came away for a few days to the 'van and managed to blow all the electrics, the new shed /pain cave roof as sprung a leak directly over the extension lead sockets (what are the odds) Don't know if it was due to the high winds and torrential rain we have had so been up and coated the felt with PVA as a stop gap and see how it goes.

No one up yet ?
Mo is probably on her 2nd walk
Weather improved as in no rain but temperature is dropping. Bit weird but it's supposed to drop 2° at 0700.
Excitment for today is....
Black bin to go out.
Dark washing to do
Probably out for a drink at lunch time.
And that is about it.....I am tired just thinking about it.

I was up Dave, but making the coffee ( well, pushing the button on the machine) . Black bin day, usually Tuesday but the Christmas holidays altered the rota temporarily, Wednesday next week then back to Tuesday the following.
Mrs Tkk and I both have physio this afternoon which involves a long walk from the bus stop in Wimborne to the Q E School, torrential rain is forecast at that time. D Day is a week today. Mrs Tkk is worried about the deadline, and can get a bit snappy 🤔

Morning. Long lie for me.

Disappointed to see wet roads and a fine rain falling. Oh well, I have plenty of jackets

Coooeeee. 6 deg here and it hasn't rained for at least 8 hours. Woooohooo.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
It's dry here, no rain at the moment but it won't last.
Sainsbury's are delivering the fortnightly shopping this morning, only a couple of substituted items to give back. Bonio's instead of gravy bones, Millie won't eat them.
And Italian Burrito cheese instead of mozzarella.
I'll have to get them from the local shops instead.

Morning all

No rain here at the moment, but forecast later.
I'll spend my morning in the workshop servicing my lawn mower, in readiness for the coming season.

Morning folks really hoping i can get a ride in today as forecast is ok My circular 30m route may be flooded at one point which could make for a much longer ride if i have to go back...shouldnt grumble as it'll be good for the old legs

Anyone watching Mr Bates Versus The Post Office .

It’s certainly makes me wonder about the justice system Apparently I don’t know if it’s still the case that the PO can arrest their employees who they suspect of an offence

Morning it's a bit at 3c hope it warms up.

Couldn't bring myself to watch it as I find it too upsetting.
People need prison for what they did to these poor people.

I got an " Award Badge " from my Garmin Connect account. Evidently now I am a " Sleep Savant " ( or a lazy sod depending on interpretation ) 😁

I've just been in there after logging my walk and see I got it too.

I couldn't have picked a worse weather window for my walk. The rain came on within a couple of minutes of going out and got really heavy. Had to peel the leggings and socks off when I got back.

Doing quite well with my badges.

It made me feel angrily What did the PO think the thousands of sub post office had banded together to defraud the PO
