The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Foul and wall to wall wet day here - utterly demoralising.

Same tomorrow apparently.

Is there anything that can be done for cat scratches?

Yes, depending on the type of finish of the leather, put a drop of water on the leather and see if it is absorbed, you mave have to look hard, if yes then a balm will help hide them if not then you can buy a spray on dye for it. Furniture Medic are quite good suplliers of products and advice.

Shopping and doggie walk done.
Fell into the Kings Arms, Georgeham on the way back.
Just waiting for my prawn, crayfish & avocado baguette with roasted garlic mayonnaise, salad and fries to arrive.
Thanks Rishi.

Morning folks, not a good one, my Good lady had a minor fall last night, didn't hurt herself but went to hospital for tests, I've now heard she's being admitted, because of current restrctions I wasn't allowed to go with her so I'm sat here exchanging texts wondering whats going on.

Very sorry to hear that Dave, a very stressful time for both of you going on, stay safe mate.

MrsD WAS feeling sorry for you as I told her "poor Dirk has had a fall"
She said "oh dear, what happened"
So I told her you had fallen into the Kings Arms.........all sympathy disappeared

Beans on toast with salad, definitely posh

Can a new boy join ? Hoping to catch up on DIY and a lot more cycling in the week. The dog tells me he's expecting more walks as well. This retirement sounds quite tiring so far.

Lots of desperate pleas on FB from drookit campers wanting somewhere dry asap. I know the feeling as I wakened in Lochboisdale behind the toilet block to find about 3 inches of water in my cheepo Lidl tent. Stabbed a few holes in the bottom to let it out. Fortunately I was going on the first boat so just packed up wet as I was heading home anyway and could get dried out on the ferry.
In Oban locals no longer park in Lochavuillin car park if rain is expected. The clue is in the name. The local towing companies are expecting a busy day tomorrow.

So long as you don't use the 'W' word......yer in.

A belated ‘morning all’ from me, a pretty damp day here in Speyside/Strathspey but escaping the worst of it. Spent the morning at the Highland Wildlife Park and the afternoon wandering the local woods here in Nethy.
