The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning fellow retirees,
A heady 10 degrees down here on the coast, with the rain holding off until noon.
I’m heading out for my first run in what seems ages. Pension day today too. I don’t think I can contain my excitement 😁

Morning crappy hampers. We are back to warmer and very very moist here. The most is so bad that I can't see the top of my drive about or the hills

7 deg and feels like 7 apparently. Rain is forecast as well for us. Abothee day of slobbing in store. I am beginning to feel like a sloth

Stay safe folks.

Morning all

Wednesday?
Had a phone call from our best mates in Minehead last night which cheered us up. They seem to be settling in well and exploring their new environs. Can't wait to meet up again.
As for today? Dunno. Suppose we'll have a walk, take doggie out, watch a film etc.

The crime drama The Bay is on tonight at 9. I see it's the second episode so must have missed it last week. Anyone watched it?

It started of well, follows on from the last series.

Damned if I can remember if I watched the last one or not. I just found a small clip and it does seem familiar. The joys of getting older.....you can watch things again because you can't remember them!

Yep. Setting up to be every bit as the first series.

Morning all. Very foggy here and then we are forecast for 48 hours of rain and snow.

I plan to investigate and solve the issue I have with inflating my tubeless tyres. I know the solution is gumming up the valve and valve core, it's how to prevent this I'm struggling with.

Done my bit on the new Brexit thread. I'll stay home now.

I'll have a walk this afternoon. Beyond this I have nothing whatsoever to do and I'm not very happy about that.

 

[Drago]

No, don't watch crime dramas. I get all tetchy at the inaccuracies.

Understandable. Watching medical based drama in this house is only marginally better than sticking pins in one's eyes.

 

[Mo1959]

Well just watched the first of the last series, and it still seems familiar but can't remember what happened so I'd be as well to watch it again.

According to the app we are at 7° which, compared to -2° at this time yesterday is rediculous

T'is a sign of prolonged bad weather on the way.

Bonjour copains et copines. Got up at 9 which is standard these days, Molly walked and cleaned as it is very wet out there so wiping her paws when we get in to save carpets.
I must say I am missing my bikes although I would not ride here due to state of the roads in winter. I believe there is a cycle path called the Tarka trail not far from here so I will do that in the summer.
Does anyone watch Ben Boggle ( not sure of his name) Life in the wild series? I find it quite interesting. The one I watched last night was in Scotland.
@Drago , I thought all schools were closed at the moment?
Keep safe all of you.

Fogle? The other sounds more like something you would pick out of your nose.

Me too.
