The Retirement Thread

And in other news, decidedly dischuffed that Empress Nicola is retaining the 5 mile rule. So lockdown continues

Yep. Sitting here is shorts/vest top with windows open and blue sky with a gentle breeze. Made the most of it before it appears to be on the decline a bit tomorrow.

That's your summer nearly over then.

Sad but I suppose she has her reasons.

Fishing nets on the end of a bamboo pole, the sort that we had when children have been repurposed by one of the local breweries down here in Yokelshire.

Arrive at Sixpenny Brewery and keeping Social Distancing, notify type and quantity of beer required or pre ordered.
Hatch opens and the contactless card reader is placed in a fishing net on the end of a pole and manoeuvred towards you.
Once payment has gone through move along to the collection point where your order will be waiting.

As it is the opposite to what Boris thinks

Prynhawn Da folks. Well it's still raining here in the middle of Wales. How unusual is that.

We are hearing that shops might be open in Wales from Monday. We have to start opening them soon.

Scotch is perfectly correct but just a bit old fashioned.

Shame hardly anyone is sticking to it. My bike ride today I was passing cars parked up with people picnicing, camping, etc.

 

[gavroche]

Apart from walking Molly in the rain, done absolutely nothing today and tomorrow, rain is still expected so , another day of doing nothing?

Seriously ???
I always thought scotch was a drink and Scots were people.

I think the 5 miles is only advisory but not recommended to go much further. Where I am common sense seems to apply rather than sticking rigidly to the rules. Today I had a 24 mile round trip which is ok with the local police so long as I do not abuse it. I could have travelled one way by trike with no traffic problems but on the return leg there were quite a few cars heading probably for a ferry so it was safer to do that trip by car anyway. When the tourist floodgates open then I will just have to abandon local triking but not this year I think.
