I have risen!

Morning all

Definitely a can't be arsed day today.

Morning all, grey, wet and cool outside. It's not looking inspirational today. Some domestics indoors and maybe tidy the shed up. MrsP has been in there lately and has deposited a load of sacks of dog and cat food willy nilly. No order to it.
She bought home 3 large sacks of out of date wild bird seed which she is donating to a local wild life centre which is in Trent Park and is running low on food stuffs. A person in our road asked for any donations on our road's WhatsApp group. So that is going this morning.
So then it will be the usual dog walking and then trying to be creative in the kitchen with what we have in the cupboard.
Stay safe everyone.

Hello @Duc gas and I hope you are enjoying your retirement but most of all, cycling the beautiful North Wales coast. My favourite is from Colwyn Bay to LLanfairfechan or Betws y Coed when I feel stronger. Our paths might cross some day.

So much choice in North Wales. I live in the Mold area so it’s either a hilly ride in Flintshire or a flat ride in Cheshire. Also taken the train to Holyhead a few times and cycled back home along the coastal route - lovely ride

It's freezing up here. Easterly wind that really chills you. Dull at the moment but sun is due to come out by lunchtime. Maybe it will warm up a bit then.

Early walk done.

Morning all. As Paulus said it's a bit damp at the moment here. Dog emptied and enjoying tea in bed listening to radio Paradise, luxury!​

Its wetter than a Green Party manifesto.

Raining here, just looked outside and the patio and around the side of the house is covered in pidgeon feathers, something had a feast that is for sure. Not looking forward to finding the leftovers.

I like blue, lovely colour. A bit on the chilly side this morning, but being North Wales, it will soon warm up and the sun will make an appearance.

Hi fellow retirees, I've been watching you lot for quite some time now, I chuckle and snigger on a daily basis without adding to the dizziness, is it okay to join in? I took my redundancy/ voluntary retirement last August after working for 40 years and 13 days as a gas man and manager in North Wales - I know the quality of North Wales retirees posts are top notch - Welsh dragon,gavroche,dodgy knees etc.... hope I can add in?? Please take care everyone

Hello to you.
I will personally put in a word for you but its down to our bosses really........otherwise Known as Mo & Welshie.

 

[Dave7]

You're more than welcome @Duc gas.
Just watch out for that @Dave7 though - 'es a wrong un; especially if you start cuddling up to @welsh dragon .
I've got him on ignore......so he can't get to me.

I have my ways I tell yer
