The Retirement Thread

Nice. I have yet to put new ones out after the old ones fell apart. Must get it done.

I had to replace a couple (I have 4) as some fell apart when the fence was replaced last autumn.
I saw a blue tit checking out the eaves of the shed a couple weeks ago but i doubt it would be suitable as I would likely disturb them when I'm in there doing stuff.

It looks like it's time to collect some sheep/lambs wool of the barbed wire fences for them during dog walks.

Well, I decided to go and check another carpet place out.
Its called Flooring Superstore or similar. What a dump. Nightmare to find and a very small/ poor selection.
I dont see them lasting long.
I was happy with the supplier I have spoken to, I just needed reassurance.

Its so nice to watch them busy nest building etc.
I watched a Wren 2 years ago. It was in the ivy right outside my patio door. They put the tits to shame the poor guy was so busy

Morning all
Well, #31PubsInJanuary is a wrap 🍻
The selfless task of visiting some Leicester Establishments with a pal rounded my efforts off: end up with 37 pubs visited (but 32 different pubs) 💪
We accidentally fell into seven on our grand afternoon out 😜
Not sure I remember that much about the curry takeaway we all had back at our place 🫣

Sadly 2 nice pubs closed during my work 😔
I can’t do any more to help save them. It’s over to you all to do your bit now 🤣

As we looked around one of the better boozers, we noted how the demographic was very much our age or above. Did make us wonder whether younger people will grow to enjoy beer and drink there as they age, or whether the places will simply decline and fade away 🤷‍♂️

Reports are suggesting that youngsters are drinking less than our cohort - and with far more emphasis on overall health. Which can only be a good thing going forward.

Except if you work in pub/brewery trade.

Good morning. Greyish, dampish, chillyish.

Like my Y fronts.

Enjoy.
Really not being awkward here but I've never seen the point in paddle boarding. Apart from it looking bad for my dodgy back i always enjoyed my 'sit-on-top' kayak which was comfy.
I have been know to be wrong though

Always better sitting in one than on one though, in my opinion.

Wait until they leave school though.

Yes, I saw that on the News, right after a story about out of control Ketamine use, among "the young" 😂
