The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

This has made me sad. 41 years ago Mrs P and I backpacked across the States. West coast to east. We spent three weeks in California and visiting Yosemite and Sequoia national parks was a highlight.

In Sequoia there is a grove of 2,000 giant redwoods. Huge trees. The biggest, and largest tree in the world, is General Sherman at +/-2500 years old. We have a similar photo to this but 40 years ago the trees were just there, no crappy fences and benches.

Today the stand of trees is threatened by wildfire. I know we have many problems in the world. These are magnificent trees to think we could lose them truly saddens me.

7,500 giant redwoods were lost to fire in 2020. WTF have we done.

Good morning all, shopping Friday has come round again, they seem to come round too quick, meter readings to send to OVO in a bit, washing to put out, I seem to have done loads of washing this week, carers were here at a civilized time today, quarter to seven.

Morning all.
Was up at 0700. I was cold all night and when I got up. Starting to feel better now though .
Weird......the clear sky was full of vapour trails........must be a lot of aircraft up there

I shouldn't have been so smug about getting my flu jab so early, my arm really aches this morning. It's ok I don't expect any sympathy.

Morning all

Yay! Tis Fish Friday
Bit of a change in the weather today. Was hot and sunny yesterday - today looks like being overcast and blowy with a bit of rain later.
Off to Boscastle this morning, then lunching at the Bettle & Chisel.

I don't do Faceberk myself, but the band does, as per my sig. If you're ypure a Faecesbooker then I'd be grateful if you could seek out our page and give us a 'like', and spread the good word.

It's pretty bare at the moment, but we have someone gathering pics and videos tonight so there'll be much more going on...and you'll get to see what I look like in my natural environment.

Morning. It's chilly here. I fear I might have to put my blooners up under my chin to keep me warm.

Stay safe peeps.
