The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Forget the shopping, did the squirrels have another go at your nuts?

No squirrel action today

Do I get a prize?

A choice of bloomers or Y-fronts.

Finally got the 3k lbs of compost in place so I went for a little ride, only 15 miles. Cool at first but about 32C for the last 6 miles, which were of course uphill. Part of the ride was along the N Platte river where I encountered this Great Blue Heron, a bird not often seen around these parts. A little further was a squadron of 5 pelicans, a bit too far to get a good phone pic. Notice how he turned his head just as I shot, so as to present his aristocratic profile.

Morning all, off out to knock some clay out of the sky later. On another note where has Monkers gone? I hope nobody upset her.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Had a very pleasant evening, cycled to the park and met with a couple of friends plus daughter and granddaughter. A few of us went for a 5k run around part of the harbour and then we all had a mini picnic under the trees. I'd smuggled a 2 pint container of "Golden Years" from Sandbanks Brewery into my bike bag and that soon disappeared.
Cycled home in the twilight, my dynamo lights are really very impressive and came into their own.
A lazy day today as I need to recharge my batteries.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Stay safe folks.

Good morning folks

From reading Monkers posts she strikes me as very fit and active. I suspect she's off on an adventure somewhere, either that or she's Special Forces, was tasked with retrieving Dragos Y fronts for decontamination and has instead chosen to defect.

gday gday gday all you fine people. I hope the day finds you all well.
Its quite pleasant here. Plenty of cloud moving in but its warm.
I will wait for MrsD to emerge, see how she is then plan the day.
My Mr Fixit is supposed to be here today. Some concrete painting is due. We have created a 'sun spot' where the sun gets around 1500ish. Painting the concrete base is the final thing to do.
Breckie today is fresh fruit and yogurt.
Lunch will be scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam.
@Dirk what goes 1st, jam or cream

Good morning. After overnight rain it looks to be clearing up for a decent day.

Later I have to pick up hops for the allotment from a local brewery. I think I may be turning in to my granddad as I'll probably mooch about on the allotment for a bit today. He used to do that when he wanted to get out of the house. 😆

Nothing planned and nothing that needs doing. I may clean the bike and car but first I have 67 pieces of a 1000 piece Jigsaw to finish. Easy you think? Four trees all with foliage!!!

 

[PaulSB]

Oh yes I has a nice joke for you all but some bugger already got there in the any Good Jokes thread:

Today I'm going to put up the Christmas Tree as I've run out of things to do.

Knew I should have told it yesterday.

 

[PaulSB]

@Dave7 I was thinking about your raised bed. Happy to help if I can. One quick pointer is you should be considering if the soil needs improving in anyway and if so doing it late autumn/early winter.

 

[welsh dragon]

The mist has turned to fine rain.

The mist has turned to fine rain.

Could you keep it there until at least 2pm please.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Going across to see me old Mum today. What joy.
