The Retirement Thread

[Chief Broom]

Done the roof bit more strenuous today as there was no wind which helps to dislodge the moss as i work, neighbour gave me a really nice fossil hammer will have to remember theres a spike on one side and avoid raising the hammer and imbedding the spike side in my forehead
re-co-op in my local one some prices are ok and others absurd, im not paying £3 for a packet of biscuits or a few tomato's

Still a fine drizzle here. Not sure it intends to go off anytime soon.

Still waiting on the bin lorry. Maybe it’s broken down again.

It's just starting to rain here.
I am waiting for the Vet. college to call about Millie. Depending on what the latest scan reveals depends on whether they keep her in for further surgery tomorrow.
I've been tidying up the bottom of the garden and binning a lot of junk, broken pots, old compost bags that were full of water, etc etc that was cluttering up the place.
Stuffed red peppers and salad for tea tonight. The easy version. A packet of microwave golden vegetable rice, a jar of Lloyd Grossman pasta sauce, 15 minutes in the microwave and all done.

We have that very fine rain, you know the one that really wets you

@Mo1959 (and others)
With my new TV package I get Netflix and Utube.
I have never used either of these.
Any suggestions how to get the best of them ?

I haven’t used YouTube on the tv much as I mainly just look at stuff on the computer or iPad…..mainly reviews of stuff I am interested in, or how to fix things, etc.

I’ve found quite a lot of decent things I’ve enjoyed on Netflix, both films and series and if you tick the things you have enjoyed it tries to give you recommendations for similar things you might like.

I just finished another of the Harlan Coban series the other night and also a few films I really enjoyed.

So, if I type in Harlan Coban or voice it will it come up with those films ?

And while I was parked some b*stard has run into my car
It will need a panel repainting.
Truthfully, if I ever did that I would leave a note with contact details.

Any CCTV cameras that might have caught the registration of the car that hit you?

I doubt it, its just the local Spar shop.

Should do. They are a series.

Just watched a good film called Peppermint. Woman who turns vigilante to avenge the shooting of her husband and daughter by a big drug gang. Lots of action.

Stupid question but how do you decide what film to watch.

There’s usually a brief description and short trailer.
