The Retirement Thread

Now it's light I can see we have a covering of snow. More forecast this morning.

Do my eyes deceive me or are Shredded Wheat smaller than they were last time I bought some? 🤔

Rain and 12 degrees here. Today is veg box and walking group. Yesterday the man came to measure and discuss the new kitchen. He had a wizzy laser distance measure, but also used a steel tape. Speaking of measuring, I have ordered a surveying wheel as there's a stretch of land that I want to measure and mark for running training. It has been winging it's way from China for a week, and due to be delivered tomorrow. It might be rubbish but I thought it worth the risk as I only paid £5.35 with free shipping 😮

Nah, you're bigger. I did notice the other day that you've grown considerably since I last saw you.

Good morning all.
It is still raining, but with a bit of sleet mixed in at times.
The cats rushed out, two of them came back after 5 minutes Daisy the black and white Moggy is still out there somewhere, she is much more of an outdoor cat.
Sainsbury's are supposed to be delivering the weekly goodies this morning, but as yet there is no confirmation email and they haven't taken the payment. Something is going on.

Snowfall getting heavier here.

It's snowing again and I made an executive decision to start a 🔥 .

 

[PaulSB]

I've also made an executive decision. The stove will be lit soon. Toasty.

Morning all

No snow here, just heavy rain.
Looks like a workshop day.
Expecting a couple of parcels later on.

 

[Paulus]

The sleet turned to heavy snow for about half an hour, but it has turned back to rain now.

That's cheap.
In the 90s I used one every week for roof surveys and I paid a lot more for mine even back then.

Good morning all. As usual, unexceptional weather here. Just cold and dry. I don’t know if I can face going out on my bike again, might just go for a walk.

 

[Chief Broom]

Morning folks Its snowing, freezing and cycling isnt an option...boo keeping boredom at bay is hard going...ive played to death my collection of dvd's but have just been given a complete box collection of 'Dexter'- the serial killer anti hero.....should do wonders for my mental health...
Bike is now trainer mounted so will listen to the radio whilst deciding what level of pain to inflict on myself...

Can you not just use your Garmin to measure it?

Morning again. That was a chilly walk but I had thermal leggings and a good padded jacket and beanie hat on so was quite toasty once I got going.

Speaking of Bruce not liking this weather, sadly there is a black lab missing in this area. He has been sighted occasionally but not caught yet. It’s a bit worrying in this weather as I think it’s about ten days now since he first went missing.
