The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

So it's come to this. We released hedgehogs about ten days ago. I have been putting out food at night as instructed. In the morning it's gone.

I'm sat on my allotment waiting to see what creature turns up to eat the food.

50 cans of craft beer just arrived !

From which brewers?

It’s strange. As much as I love drinking coffee, I don’t like coffee flavoured food or chocolates. It was a bugger when I used to eat Revels as I had to carefully bite them in half so I could avoid eating the coffee ones!

When I was a kid I used to do that with Black Magic chocolates.I hated marzipan Got a slap for putting the back in the
box after I had bitten them Funny I love marzipan now.

Decent C4 alternative, though without the bang.

Am I early or late?

Depends on what time you intended to get here I suppose.

Morning. We had some rain overnight but it's off now. A very dull day for us with no sun forecast.

Feeling a bit grumpy this morning. Probably I'm just being a cranky old fart, but my neighbours who moved in next door a few months ago spent yesterday hammering and banging and it turns out are putting a car port up which comes to barely two feet from my house wall. It's always been accepted with the detached bungalows in our street that you have access in your neighbour's drive for essential maintenance of that side of your property for the likes of gutter cleaning, painting, etc. I fail to see how anyone could now get a ladder up that side of my house now to do stuff like that. I hope they put a gutter on it as I don't want water pouring off it and hitting my wall if it's really heavy rain.
Am I just being a grump?

Hello! More cloud in the sky than of late, 9C already and no breeze so it looks like a decent day ahead.

@Mo1959 no that's not grumpy. I'd be unhappy. I think to avoid confrontation and long-term awkwardness I would it ignore it but I'd engage in conversation ASAP and ask if they plan to install guttering.

I can see where today is going. I need to find some motivation from somewhere.

 

[IaninSheffield]

Mornin' all.

@Mo1959 Not at all grumpy. I'm in a similar situation, but never thought about that possibility. I've been here over 20 years and the neighbours, who preceded me, have never considered that, as far as I know. They're unlikely to move now i guess, but if they did ... 🤔

Good morning folks, today I'll mostly be sorting out and putting back the contents of our big cupboard, its scattered in piles through out the house, we'll have a sort out and a throwing away session, and see what my Good lady lets me bin or send down the charity shop.

Yesterday was a sit in the garden reading day, something I can never remember doing before. Today is a doing day, doing what though I am not sure.

Good morning folks. Another day in paradise . Looks like it will be another nice day here today.
