The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

And in today's latest news.
1. We had that Thai chicken meal. Superb. £5.00 for us both with enough left over for one of us tomorrow (me me me 😀).
2. We are both booked in for our 2nd Covid jabs the Friday.

It’s really building up well. Looking forward to it.

I can't believe that 20 year old Kelly Macdonald who played a teenage schoolgirl in Trainspotting is suddenly a 45 year old playing a senior cop in Line of Duty - where did those 25 years go!!

Tell me about it! Time is going way too fast. She was good in that thing with the Japanese detective too.

There is a lot more traffic on the roads today. Clearly restrictions have been eased

And the 40 year old ColinJ who watched Trainspotting back in 1996 is now very nearly an OAP!

Oh yes, I forgot that! Weird ending though...

I thought it was ok when I was cycling but they were maybe all parked up walking and in parks, etc. Our schools go back next Monday so hoping it might be quieter then.

Speaking of sheep of colour..........No 3 son (the one who supplied my granddaughter) as a young child was once pondering the sheep in a local field.

After a while he announced:

"They paint the sheep so they can tell what colour the jumpers will be."

Yep. Need tartan ones up here.

Nice bright sunny day again with virtually no wind.
Headed down Loch na Keal as this may be my last chance until next winter because of the tourists.
A few lambs about but still virtually no sea or shore bird life. A few wheatears to be seen and a couple of crows and one buzzard.
No motorhomes or campers parked up but by mid morning traffic beginning to pick up as the holiday homers come out to play.
This really makes me very annoyed as I am not allowed to go off island but they simply flout any regulations which apply here. The holiday house opposite is occupied as there are lights on when it gets dark and most of the cars I met were certainly not local.
Bloods to get done tomorrow and second covid vaccine on Friday.

Looks nice
We camped west at a place called Goran Haven......very nice.
There is a pub there called the Llawnroc (Cornwall spelled backwards).

We're not far from Goran Haven.

A favour. If you go there, post a photo.

Not round these parts. Banned in schools, with anything that contains it removed.

Orwell never saw that coming.
