The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Typical... The best weather for ages here and I am stuck indoors waiting for a gas engineer to visit. The nearest I can get to an ETA is "I will phone when I am on my way"!

Note to self.
Check pockets for tissues before putting things in the washing machine

Lol, I once put an incontinence pad through the washing machine by accident. What a mess.

Apparently the civil aviation authority will be doing low level jamming in Powys which means sat navs, GPS and other electronic devices as well as drones may suddenly stop working up to 40,000 feet. This can't be the civil aviation authority, it must be the armed forces. It will take place at Sennyvridge and there is an air force base there, so it must be them testing jamming. Curious and a bit disturbing as well especially as civil aircraft might also be effected.

No reason has been given for the testing.

Air defences against a Trump invasion?

I don't have a Christmas tree. Seriously I don't have one.

Neither do we, or decorations.

Quite possibly. I can see him flying overhead dragging his chair behind him. Shouting. "I won.....by a lot".

Neither do I, debating whether or not to get one this year.

Passed a local nursery this morning. 1000s of cut trees on pallets waiting to be delivered. Knowing the company I guess they're destined for ALDI. So thode trees will have been cut 8-10 weeks before reaching someone's house.

Last year one of the local outlets was advertising " Organic" Christmas Trees 🤔 😁

Enjoyed a very lovely mellow and misty walk this morning, a little circuit around Roslyn Glen. (Famous for its Chapel).

Got the best of the day, we’re now in thick murk and it’s not very nice at all.
