The Retirement Thread

Just started raining here in the northern lowlands of Hamtun ☔

To me the problem is obvious. That thingy on the top left corner needs to be swapped with the whatsit on the bottom right. Also needs a bit of oil on that middle bit.
No need to thank me, glad to help.

Tried that, but it didn't work.
Your not very good at this, are you?

We has rain, looks like it's in for the day, so much for flaming June

I will have you know that when I was only 10 yrs old I had a mechano set.

Walked down to collect a prescription, just got back as the heavens opened.

A main road near me is closed for emergency repairs due to a sinkhole. The number of twits driving round the road closed sign and then re-emerging a minute later looking sheepish is unreal. They shouldn't be allowed on the road if they are intellectually impaired to the degree that they don't understand the words "road closed".

I still have my Mamod traction engine

Must fire it up again - see if it is safe to show the grand kids!!
(Heat steam pressure - best to check before mixing those with kids

damn Health & Safety gone mad I tell you!!!)

My walk to Poole was cut short as I turned back after battling into the teeth of a rainstorm. Holes Bay so nothing to abate the wind and rain blowing up through the harbour.
Got very soggy as my waterproofs got overwhelmed eventually. ☔️☔️☔️

Off to see a MeatLoaf tribute band this evening at The Epstein Theatre, we have seen them before and they were brilliant. We normally go to one or two shows each week, it is certainly a change from rural Lincolnshire where very little happened apart from village hall bingo.

Just nipped out to Aldi, partly because I had no bread but also just get out and do something.
Its amazing how much you can spend when thinking "oh I fancy some of this that or the other ie humus and pita bread.
I also got mushrooms.......a punnet is far too many for me but I dont like the frozen ones......now i will have to defrost some chicken for a curry.

Did you open it, though?

You have put me on the spot now so I have to be honest. Got it when I was 10 but I was 23 when I worked out how to open it, its very complicated.
