Morning all.
@PaulSB @screenman i agree 100% with your thoughts. I wonder what sort of sick minds those people have to look for fights on an internet forum.
We have a pleasant, helpful section here.
Lots of strapping, handsome men
And some lovely ladies (who frighten me).
Today will be
1. Off to buy some nice (but hopefully cheap) plant pots.
2. Off to buy soil and compost for pots and troughs we have had made.
3. Go for a walk
4. Plant bedding plants out.
Doubt everything will get done but thems the plans

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. Sunny but.dam cold here. I think it will warm up later though.
I rarely venture onto the other areas of the forum as it seems the same old arguments and same old people and same old unpleasantness pervades . It is like De Ja Vu all the time. We need to put a sign up saying "stay away".
Anyway. I need some veggies so I might venture ibto town later to brave the influx of people. I see places in wales yesterday
Were heaving with people.
Stay safe folks.

Good morning folks, bright and sunny but a bit cool, I feel a bike ride coming on.
Morning all virus dodgers,
A bright sunny start to the day here.
All the usual things to do including a ride out on the bike later, including a stop at the local grocers for some fresh produce on the way home.
A spot of tidying in the garden this afternoon, and the day will be complete.
We had friends round on Friday and Saturday and too much food and drink was consumed, so this week we are trying to be good and eat a lot less but healthy. A bit like a mini purge.
Stay safe everyone.

Glorious sunny morning out there.
Off to visit another iron age fort this morning and having a walk around Otterhead lakes.
Regarding angry forumites - I reckon they all have pent up anger and frustration, from having to go to work, and have to take it out on someone without risk of losing their jobs. An anonymous forum is the ideal place.
Another good reason to retire as soon as you can - it's good for your health.

Back from an early cycle. One of the most unenjoyable ever. Could hardly turn the pedals. Oh well. It's done I suppose.
I will enjoy my breakfast now. Might even have toast after my Weetabix

Morning all.... As Paulus said, it's a bright sunny start but it feels a bit autumnal. Doggy walking after breakfast, and carry on with the gardening.🌈

I'm not sure I'm strictly allowed in here, as I don't think my boss knows I've effectively retired in my mind. 
I was going to chuck it in at the start of the year, which would have meant having to find something to make up the financial shortfall, then the lockdown came and I've been working from home. This is liable to be the case for at least the rest of the year, and probably longer.
I'm pretty much left to my own devices, as long as the job gets done. It means I can rattle off the more complex stuff on a night and early morning, and have the rest of the time to myself, with a quick check of emails and phone calls from time to time.
It also means my 'home' is where ever I can get a signal, so I'm fairly content to stick at it a bit longer, taking the extra cash and building up my pension pot. There's also now the threat of redundancies in the coming months, which would do me nicely and help keep someone that needs the income in gainful employment. The tricky bit is my post is deemed as essential, and there's nobody around that can fill it.

Must be and age thing but I remember back in the day there was one year when we had lovely weather in June and on 1st of July it rained. From then on it rained every day until the end of October when it probably started snowing. It did not rain all day but part of every day was wet and there were sogging tourists going around swearing they were never coming back.
Currently it is a bit like that but I did manage to get out for a couple of runs on the trike on Sunday morning without getting wet. Must be getting fitter as I had to sprint back to the car to get under the lifting back door without even getting out of breath. The gearing is very low and the feet were a blur but only doing 18mph. Better for hill climbing tho'.
