The Retirement Thread

The sky has gone dark here, and we have rain as well.

As predicted

OK, it was supposed to rain. Since 10.00 it's been getting hotter and hotter. Scorchio in fact. The Beeb are now saying thunder and lightning from 1.00 to 8.00pm. Decision on afternoon activity at 12.30!

Meanwhile I have cleaned the house, reorganised the freezer (we have food), changed the bed, washed the whites, got tea out of freezer, booked tickets to see Beryl, entered PRL 2020 ballot.

Just the bathroom needs a once over then I can get ready for whatever decision is made

Why's your tea in the freezer, it'll go cold.

God, you make me feel so lazy! Lol. I’m sat on the couch with the ipad browsing and playing games and looking out at the trees and bushes getting a battering with the wind, and the rain is off and on constantly too.

Only clean once a week Mo. Usually Tuesdays so really needed to get it done.

Meanwhile thunder and lightning at 1.00 is looking increasingly likely but we are going for it.

Supposed to be heavy rain and thunderstorms here at the moment.

Its like April here, sunshine and showers, we've been to see my sister in law who lives just round the corner from us, we had to delay walking home for ten minutes while a shower past, then we walked home in sunshine.

Things getting cancelled left right and centre here. Womens tour of scotland abandoned, Perth Highland Games and a local agricultural show this weekend off too. Must be a nightmare for the organisers.

Sad that. As you say, when you think of all the time, effort and money spent on it.
Amazed its not on tv. Cycling from Poland is on.....but not from beautiful Scotland.

The Eistrdford (probably spelt that wrong) is having problems due to the heavy rain. Lots of cars are bogged down in the field as it is just a field of mud. Lots of people have gone home already

BTW @Mo1959 are you a thorough bred Scot or an import ?,

Born and bred. Born in a village 15 miles away called Dunning, then moved to Crieff around 36 years ago.

Again, that is a shame, seriously. All joking apart its tragic for many people
Meanwhile we have had to endure a late lunch and a bottle of plonk.

I was in Llanrwst this morning, delivered Mrs dickyknees as she was competing in a choir competition. Then drove from the Conwy Valley across to Blaenau Ffestiniog down the A470. Glorious sunny views of the Stwlan Dam and the road past Dolwyddelan Castle is just a great drive. Had a cup of tea, read the paper, picked up the wife, left the Eisteddfod just as the rain came.
