I went to school with a guy called McCafferty. Fortunately for him his parents called him John...........not that we let a minor detail get in our way.

I've just looked it up his real name is Jim Deans and he now runs a homeless charity, in the 1990's he was Phil McCavity porn star.
Maybe we can introduce them?? They get married (think its legal now) and I can stand to inherit part of your massive estateMy twin grandsons are my youngest. They will be 19 at the beginning of July.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Great plan. However, they both have girlfriends so that's a no no

Another nice sunny day but still that cold northerly wind.
Tomorrow looks a bit different on the forecast as it says rain and high winds. Save me watering the plants in tubs then.
Shifted some around as I put nasturtiums out and got an immediate invasion of snails who climbed over an overhang somehow. Moved them to a top border in front of the house which should be ok.
The dry weather resulted in a grass fire on the island of Coll so the lifeboat had to take some of our volunteer brigade over for a day to put it out. Strange nobody on Coll could do it but since it is mostly holiday houses now they would expect somebody else to do it.
MV Coruisk on the Oban run has developed a problem with one of the loading ramps so is operating single ended. This means reversing at one end of the route. Mostly they can turn cars on the deck to face the ramp so you can drive on and off normally but larger vehicles have to reverse and caravans are banned from this boat just now. Not that it makes much difference as mostly it is motorhomes now rather than towing vans. Gives a bit of amusement watching the antics of motorhomes trying to reverse tho'.

It's now raining. My decision not to join one of today's club runs proves to be a good one.
The April weather is playing havoc with my allotment. First we have the plum protection which is getting tedious; I have peas which should have been planted out a week ago and I think I must do this today; my tomatoes, peppers and courgettes are growing well in the porch but getting too soft. I think I'm going to have to carry them up to the greenhouse every morning and bring them back to the house at night!!! That will stiffen them up.
Geeeezzz.

A thread specially for 'persons of leisure' and independent means, or those with aspirations.
How do you while away those lazy days?
How do you cope financially?
When did you retire?
Is retirement what you expected?
How long did you take to adjust?
Etc.
Tell us what you are up to today or what plans you have.
Or just have a bit of silliness to while away those lazy hours.
I've been busy today. Hilly 15 mile ride in North Devon, took dog for a stroll along Saunton Sands, cut the front lawn, leisurely pub lunch at the Tarka Inn overlooking the estuary, bit of shopping and now going to nap off my lunch. Never a moment spare!
Morning all
Well, whodathunkit? 5000 pages, eh?
Never thought that retirement could be so exciting!
Off for a doggie walk on the beach first thing, then a stroll down to my local for a pint.
Seems to me you got it bang on with your original post. 👏👏👏
Think you are right.
I always find a late night walk stiffens me up a lot.

We are supposed to be going out today with the kids and grandkids
a place with gardens about an hour away
so I can;t go for a ride - but my wife's sleep pattern is all screwed up since the start of Covid etc etc so she doesn;t get up until an unknown time
so we may not go
but I still can;t go out just in case
pain in the neck but we can;t do anything about it until this mess is all sorted - yu know - risk of death and all that
