The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all.
Possible thunderstorms later, although it is sunny at the moment.
I'll be out getting a few picnic bits as MrsP and myself are going for a day out tomorrow, oldschool style. Flasks of tea, bottles of water, sarnies, sausage rolls, etc.
It is our 39th wedding anniversary tomorrow so we thought we would have a day out with the dog.
As we are normally awake quite early it will be one of those get up and go days. The weather forecast is ok for tomorrow.
Of course, the plan could always go wrong

Good morning fellow retirees,
Heavy rain forecast but it's lovely and sunny at the moment 🌞
The gas lady is arriving at 9:00 for the annual boiler service. I've cleared everything from the airing cupboard, opened the loft hatch and pulled down the ladder, signed a blank cheque and left it out for her.
Now on my second cup of Peruvian coffee ☕☕
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃🚶‍♂️🚲

Morning everyone.

Morning all, dry but very breezy here. At least there is now a bit of variety in the weather to help offset the sameness of every day and every week and every month of unrelenting Sturgeon lockdown.

Morning all... can I be the first to say 'yeah it's fish Friday'

A bit more digging this morning before the rain starts, 🌈

Good morning all. Skies are a greyish blue and we have a breeze. Didn't wake up till 7.35 but was awake 2.30-4.30. pluses and minuses.

So at 10.00 No.1 son arrives to go riding with his Dad. We are riding to Whalley, pick up No. 3 son, ride to Ribchester, coffee and then home. Should be fun though I'm unsure of my legs today. Have to hope No. 1 son doesn't want to give the old man a good thrashing!

Sunny intervals with a brisk north westerly wind. I was given some broccoli plants yesterday so have to get them planted. The grass is already looking untidy but it will have to wait.
What looks like a clam dredger patrolling up and down the sound recently in deep water. I would not expect much so deep but I am not a fisherman and never ventured that far down when diving. Forty meters was my limit.
The overseas markets are starting to open up and I saw a couple of foreign reg live shellfish lorries heading out of Oban. Our local retail sales will stop soon as they can get more money selling to Spain.

Good morning. Been up since 7.30. Even my wife is wondering if I'm well this morning. Grey sky so far but shouldn't rain till 3 pm according to Mr weather forecast. Planning to cut some branches overhanging my shed today and installing an outside clock as well as carry on with painting the guest room. Oh, bit of shopping too I was told so probably no time left for a ride before the rain comes.

When you saw the branches always remember to sit on the part nearest the tree

My deepest was 44 mtrs but that was in the Med with good viz.
I think 30 was about my limit around the UK.
I did a 30 in a North Wales quarry in a borrowed semi dry.....that was cold
