The Retirement Thread

Morning folks quite a large group of porpoises feeding quite close to the beach yesterday-good to see.
Think i'll send off for some bird feeders, i dont usually feed the birds but will do when seriously cold weather blows in.

Where abouts are you Mr Broom ?
Its nice to see porpoises......I dont see many in the stream behind my garden.

It would appear that my local Grade 11 Art Deco swimming pool is to be taken over by a new consortium..
I pray it won't accidentally catch fire like some other buildings in Hamtun Town... Allegedly 🔥

Fog has cleared quickly to reveal frost, now in full "red sky in morning" mode.

Useless fact. In Northampton, over 90% of fires in council or H/A premises occur within a month of the tenant being refused a housing move/swap, strangely enough.

Brora occasionally get dolphins and sometimes otters which are harder to spot, see their prints more frequently

How strange!

As they say here.
Red sky in the morning, ssilors warning.
Red sky at night, your car's alight

Yes, there's a thing!

And then they'd act all affronted when we'd arrest them!

I braved the rain for a 4.5 mile wander. No excuse really when I have all the waterproof gear.

Morning all

Meeting up with all the gang today for a pre Christmas lunch at the Malt Shovel in Cannington.

My Facebook memories from this day in 2013 popped up. I had cycled over 8,000 miles that year........changed days!

Back from my Aldi shop, hopefully the last for this year.
Roads were busy but Aldi was very quiet. I got everything I needed plus a couple of things I didn't 😊.
I read about thier special chockie bickies called Lebkuchen and picked up a packet of them. Will try one with a cuppa later on.

G'day cobbers (must include Ausie Mike).
Well, had a decent sleep though not long enough.
Plans are out of the window as my cleaner has suddenly switched from today to Friday. She 'forgot' that her 3 year old is in the school play. I had already switched my lunch pub visit to Friday so need to decide on that.
MAJOR PROBLEM No 2.
My son and DiL are making a flying visit tomorrow and I haven't got a present for him (thought i had a months grace). So must go to Superdrug for his favourite stupidly expensive aftershave.......Diesel .
All that means an early Aldi trip ie 0800 this morning.
Hey Ho!

It's cheaper at the Esso station near me I think
