The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Morning. Cold, wet and windy here. Allegedly 9 deg and feeling like 5 but injave my doubts about that.

I can def feel a slobbing day is in order today

Stay safe folks

Morning all

@Dave7 they're giving 21°C here on Tuesday - and sunny all day.
Standby to repel boarders! Beaches will be rammed, no doubt.

I just googled it.......it promises 24 down there.

And fall starts with an "F" as does forward.

As there’s only two options you only need to remember one, “Spring Forward” , if it’s not Spring then they go back. This approach has the added benefit of freeing up a bit of valuable memory for when you can’t remember why you came upstairs.

Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.
Grey, gloomy and windy outside at the moment.
No bimbling onthe bike today, so after the usual dog walking, there will be a time for some domestics, the watching the cycling on the telly box and the partaking of some ale.

Just heard from a friend of ours who has gone down with the virus, she has been working as a classroom assistant for the past few weeks since the schools went back.

Stay safe everyone.

Hello. I'm back. I dozed. It's still raining. I have been out to check the sundial. I realise now time has simply disappeared altogether.

Tuesday? If it arrives here given the local time situation is forecast at 14⁰C. I feel people are getting a little overexcited on this subject.

It would be easy to spend today slobbing. I'm going to fight back with an attempt at doing something.

If slobbing is done properly it can be a activity in it's own right.

It's a bit blowy out there this morning. I'm sitting here in front of the Laptop and wearing my running gear and the forecast is for the wind to pick up by lunchtime so best if I head out now.

How about setting up some illumination for the sundial so you can use it when it's cloudy? One of those LED security lights should do the trick. You'll need to cobble together some sort of tracking mechanism to sync with the earths rotation but it will be a fascinating project 😁🌞

We have just had an Ocado delivery, whoops anyone short of milk

Mrs JK is conducting a full far reaching and exhaustive enquiry, then I will get the blame .

Morning, at 02:06 the clocks went forwards I wonder how many people saw that .......me

Dry so far and sun starting to appear. Wind is not due again until evening so may be forced to do some garden work, or mebbe not.
Looking out my front window after dark there are often lights in the Sound and I keep a chart handy to identify what kind kind of craft is on the move. Calmac ferries are easy as they are a blaze of light and the open stern ones heading for Oban seem to be powered by a blaze of stern lights rather than anything else. Certainly not going to be run down from behind even if something could catch them. There used to be launches from the rocket range on the Uists which powered up and down at high speed and they could give you a fright if they overtook at speed when you had not noticed them. Not seem them for a few years now tho'.

The secret to good slobbing is to reject any feelings of guilt about your inactIvity
