The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Strong winds and rain forecast for this morning. The winds have definitely arrived. Took a decision last night to postpone today's ride and see if the afternoon weather is better - wind forecast to drop to 18mph.

Heading out to ALDI shortly with our list and two others for neighbours who are in isolation with compromised immune systems and other at risk issues.

Sorting that lot should keep me occupied for a while!!

Emulsion and gloss for the utility room later - well I say room, more of a small bit of space where we keep freezer, dryer and washing machine. Only in a London apartment would it qualify as a room.

How long would that take? (Serious question)
Not used my car for weeks so hopefully that will start and I can give it a blast this morning.

15 minutes would top it up, not sure the cat would appreciate a blast though.

That view's worth making the effort for.👍

Heading towards home now. Coming down the hill looking over to the town.

Ordering the paint for the outside of my bungalow today.
Weather's looking good next week, so I'll get stuck in.

What design are you thinking of? Maybe something like:

Lovely 6.8 miles done. Really gusty out now. Weetabix and banana time now.

Sun is out here in Poshshire. clearly our extra council tax pays for all this, but its worth it.

Waiting for a new tyre to come through so no biking for the moment.

Enjoy your day.

Nice. There is a lot of that stuff in New Brighton at the moment. All very tasteful.

I am sat outside m&s while MrsD shops. It seems to be 5 out 5 in and plenty of space between everyone**.
** I say everyone but I am watching one guy that thinks its fine to stand right behind the woman in front of him.

Half way round my walk at the moment. View attachment 512028

Seems as though they may be checking on you. There's a white van, wrong side of the road, with the driver looking uphill.

Do it all with a 1inch brush.
