The Retirement Thread

[Sterlo]

I've got to admit, I've never been abroad in my life and have no real desire to. Don't know why but it's just never really appealed to me.

Thank goodness there’s someone else. I sometimes feel like some sort of freak for never having been abroad either.

Another walk done round the riverside trail. Really quite warm now. Never met any locals. Just visitors I think. When you have been doing a walk as long as I have, you are inclined to remember most of the local residents.

If you ever fancy a trip back to the 1950's Mo there's always the Isle of Wight, and being an Island I suppose it is "Abroad" 😁

Mrs Tkk has just caused much amusement in the neighbourhood. We're both heading up to London at the weekend for ther BWC so she did a dry run in her outfit. Sparkly purple bike, purple " pedal pushers " with fitted purple jacket and a sparkly purple TuTu. Her ride coincided with the schools finishing for the day and she said she got lots of enthusiastic comments and toot toots and thumbs up from the motorists😎

I presume not every plane has a tracker switched on? Can hear a light plane overhead just now but nothing showing up.

I just googled this out of interest, as it sometimes happens around here.

"There are a few reasons why your aircraft may not be shown. First, the aircraft may not be fitted with an ADS-B transponder, meaning it is not compatible with our receiver network. Second, if the aircraft is fitted with a Mode S transponder and not visible, it may be flying in areas with little or no MLAT coverage. Third, the aircraft might be flying outside of our network in areas where we have little or no ADS-B coverage. Fourth, the aircraft may be blocked in our system by the owner or operator"

Got my car back.
Regarding going abroad, I have been to many countries, as far as Australia. Now, I am quite happy just to stay here, travelling doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Over years I have been able visit lots ot countries. Great experiences getting to know different cultures.
Plus in Spain, Portugal, south of France you are virtually guaranteed sunny days.

No!
You could go abroad to visit a broad though.
