The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all fellow retirees.

A windy but bright start to the day here.

Another day trying to be busy, dog walking, domestics and I will get out for a bimble on the bike at some point.

Rain has stopped, after three days. Light dusting of snow, and, windy. But, blue sky and sunshine.

Hope the weather further north moderates, oldest son is due to be helicoptered out to a ship in North Sea today. Always a worry, don’t trust helicopters.

6.2 mile hilly walk done up our local hill. Still lots of snow underfoot and a baltic wind up the top. Can't get a heat in me now. Need a few more cuppas and maybe get my fleecy blanket wrapped round for a while. I know you all like my rude profiles. Lol.

@Dave7 my son has posted a video taken this morning showing part of the Old Liverpool road Warrington flooded, video shot from the front door of the HMO he lives in, fortunately the waters not in the house.

This looks familiar, I’m sure I have seen photos of this lodge/ cottage before in a similar condition in previous winter flooding. Sorry if someone has already mentioned this ,I have been off exploring other parts of the forum.

Good day. Well! The snow started to fall about 7.30pm yesterday and was still falling at 10.30pm. Woke at 4.00am, thawing and clear skies, returned to bed full of hope..........woke at 7.00am to grey skies, howling wind and drizzle. 😩

Frankly not a clue what I'll do with the day. I shall report back later, hopefully with exciting tales of daring do......🤔

Don't make the tales too daring, at our age it could cause any number of problems

I have a theory that has yet to be disproved.
If you go for a walk without a specific route then the eventual route takes the profile of whatever your mind is dwelling on.
Just a theory

That's a hypothesis, not a theory.
