The Retirement Thread

Oh yes, more good news from the allotment. My butts runneth and overflowth. I have five interconnected butts, one overflowth into the next etc. Four are full and the last one half full. This is +/- 1200 litres from a 6' x 8' shed roof. 😲 I'm amazed at the volume, we must have had one hell of a lot of rain in the last 24 hours. I know there were heavy showers............

..........mainly while I was sleeping in a local car park!!!!! 😲🤣🤣🤣

Just remembered - need to sort out the home insurance

always involves some extra work - I need to check that the theft bits related to the ebikes does not contain any silly stuff

I had one that just excluded any ebike of any kind
I nearly had one that required any bike worth over £1000 was secured in a building with multipoint locks and all sorts
if they had wanted any more you would have needed a 24 hours security patrol with dogs!!!

so I always ring up and check - but that takes time due to how call centres work these days!!

Window Geek has been out. Knew his 'stuff' and it's all (to him) straight forward. Price is pretty much as expected so I have told him to get on with it.

Nice to have some actual bloody weather for a change. Cool, drizzling, visibility down to about 1/2 a mile. Reminds me of home.

Wouldn't mind the fish pie and green beans, but I don't like spinach.

Very grey sky but not rained for a couple of hours. Managed to get the bike cleaned from the weekend. All the other stuff washed and put away now as well. Just waiting for a parcel from Balfes now. A new wahoo and a red light for the back of my helmet.

Cheese and pickle cobb (that's a roll to most of you) for lunch.

Good afternoon all.
We are on our way to Suffolk, but at the moment we are stuck on the A14, it seems there are 3 separate accidents in front of us.
Plenty of rain this morning, so my butts are now nearly full.
