The Retirement Thread

Morning. A chilly start here but the morning is to be dry. All change later when the rain arrives by lunchtime and the wind picking up as we get the tail end of storm Dave.

I dont understand this storm Dave malarkey. OK, wonderful name of course but google tells me it arrives tonight and will last 24 hours.
So which is right ?

Depends where you are and what direction it is moving I suppose. I suspect it will be a bit of a damp squib and the Met office are just playing safe as usual.

Good morning all.
The sun is shining but it's not going to last.
Going up to the market later on, and maybe I'll pop into the Mitre for a pint or two.
If it stays dry I'll cut the grass and have a general tidy up in the garden.

I understand that you will be getting storm Dafydd later today
NB
Should that be storm Dai ?

Fine at the minute here, and quite still, though menacingly cloudy. According to my (usually pretty accurate) weather app on my phone the rain doesn't start until just after dinner.

Do I risk a couple of hours on the bike or even do three or four hours fishing? Both not good scenarios should my app have it wrong and storm Dave start early!!

What part of our fair country do you hail from?

Rossendale Valley in Lancashire right on the west Yorkshire border. A quaint little town called Bacup!

Morning all

Lovely start to the day but apparently Storm Rodney Dave is on the way.
Will be potting out my Chilli plants today.

Mornng.
Grey, breezy and drizzle. Due to get stormy later. Slightly considered an early ride before wind arrives big time but as it's wet no chance.
Next week looks promising though.
Stay safe all.

Morning folks contemplating a dash over the hills and back along the A9 with storm dave gnashing at my heels...could be 'interesting'. Sent off for another bergamot 'Cambridge Scarlet', i do like Bergamot as do the bee's

Pleasant riverside trail walked.

I met a guy with a hand trailer with bollards, etc heading out to set up a trial for a local park run. They are testing it out today and hoping to start officially in 2 weeks time. Sadly, a few years too late for me as my running legs are almost gone with all the nerve damage. He did say lots of people walk all or most of it too and I should still give it a go.

My phone has been telling me for two or three days now that we're going to get a temp spike on Tuesday, hitting 17°C! Just checked again and Wednesday looks similar now. Great, two back to back days of pleasantness!

Mind you, my phone can be a right lying turd at times!
