The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I'm fissed as a part, soaking up the rays, and loving it.

Afternoon all. Been out for a quick ride this morning, 16 and a bit miles. The weather is quite hot here so I am in the shade.
Later I will attempt to clean the bathroom sink plug, as the flow is quite slow. I know what i will find down there. Yuk.

Just above freezing here with a light drizzle mixed with sleet. Yesterday was very clear and cool with a high of 18C. Saw the year's first Indian Paintbrush, a parasitic plant that feeds on sage. As the summer unfolds the blossoms go from yellow to red. The green season is beginning, although by July the hills will be back to brown and gold. The primary weather concerns here until the fall snows are forest fires and hail. The combination of thick smoke and Covid could be interesting. We haven't had any nearby fires for quite a while, but fires 500 miles away still foul the air. Still, it is part of the natural cycle, although in the high desert it can take decades for the forests to return. Also threw in the turtle pic from the other day.

Well done. Sometimes I feel a bit pathetic on some of the segments, but when I check the age groups, I am not too bad. Lol.

Age groups is always the place to look.......too many racing snakes out there.

We have some very dark clouds here now. If looks like we could be in for a downpour soon.

My goodness there are some weird people around to say the least.

He is now afraid his ghost girlfriend is cheating on him

Omg. I am shocked. The thought of you in your birthday suit makes shudder .

Thank God your neighbours can't see you.

I happen to look good in my birthday suit. I run a warm iron over it for a few minutes and I am good to go

Dry morning but still overcast. A bank of fog stretches all the way down the Morvern shore and about half way up the hills behind. Almost totally silent outside with only a distant pigeon and the House Sparrows twittering. Used to hear cookoo regularly but so many houses have been built behind that they have been pushed too far away to hear. Similarly no swallows as their nest sites in old barns have been converted into houses.
Have to wait around today for Glengorm to deliver my burgers and sausages.

Sad that. When we moved here in 1982 we heard the Cuckoo every day, then they built the estates. Not heard one anywhere for many years
