The Retirement Thread

The grass needs cutting but I will wait till it cools down a bit.

Well i never how do you know when grass is cool enough to cut.

Just got back from a little walk.I passed a pub i used to frequent as a youngman.I thought go on have a pint,well i had four and i don't normally drink.Anyway it gave me a silly idea to cut the lawn,well it is too hot so i have stopped,it is not finished the lawn and me are half cut.

I'll get my coat.

Early morning, just after the dew has gone or late evening, before the dew settles.

Edited to add, having actually looked it up. Farming knowledge is only so good.
"The optimal time to mow is in the evening when the sun is down. This helps keep moisture in the roots while the blades are long."

Jolly little jaunt to the coast today, thought I'd take the easy option so fired up the Scomadi and left the Lambretta at home. Think there ended up about 35 scooters out, only one breakdown (someone's gear cable went on their Vespa) but he got sorted luckily and rode home.

Morning all fellow wheezers, I've been awake since 4.30 am. I have a few things planned for the day, but the paddling pool will come into it's own again today.

Morning. Not as hot for us today. I think I will just have a day of walking rather than anything more strenuous. Just finished my coffee and thinking about heading out in a minute.

Phew! that was a warm night.

Morning all
Aching a bit today after yesterdays little off, so an easy day today I think.
Dog walk then breakfast at my favourite tea rooms taking her some apples off my tree as I don't use them

Shopping for us today I think

Morning

Good morning from Lancashire. Looks like a scorchio today though the forecast does show an increasing chance of rain from 2.00pm.

Another rubbish sleep. Woke at 3.00am and very hot. Read for an hour and then slept till 7.15 so could be worse.

I need to get up and put the sheets on to wash in case rain arrives. Tuesdays are housework day - hopefully our new vacuum will be delivered today.

Morning all. Off out lunchtime to meet up with 2 B.I.L's and wives for a spot of lunch, hopefully it'll be alfresco. First the dog must be walked before it gets to warm.

Which make/model have you gone for?
We need a new one but there are so many choices
