The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Cooooeeeee 3 deg abd raining here. We had a bit of snow last night, then it warmed up a bit and now it's raining.

I've started a lamb casserole in the slow cooker, so I wonder if grandson will show up again just in time to eat more than his fair share before he trots off again.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
A decent sleep last night until my bladder woke me at 06.30.
Cleaner is here this morning.
I am psyching myself up to strip the bedding and put it in to wash.
My Bro and SiL are arriving later and we are off for a pub meal. The pub does an excellent pensioner special of 2 courses for £6.99, plenty for me.
According to my phone we can expect 14° on Sunday

Good morning all.
A cold start to the day, but it has clouded over so there is no frost and thee is quite a breeze.
MrsP is going to a Christmas market at Knebworth, I'm not going, so I'll be out with the dog instead.

Good morning. It seems to be damp and 0⁰ this morning. Forecast is for rain. Mrs P has immunotherapy at 10.00. I will drop her off and then do an Aldi shop and pop to the bank.

The lady who is supplying our new shed, she calls it a Summer House, is coming this afternoon to check the site.

Sunday is forecast for 12⁰ and sun. A bike ride is under discussion.

Good morning from a bright but chilly Dorset.

I have heard them referred to as a " Garden room " . I think the label depends on price, a bit like the transition from flat to apartment 😁

My experience of Christmas markets is 100+ stalls selling the same thing.
Hope your wife has a better experience.

Exactly the same environmental conditions as the interior of my Y fronts.

Morning all

Yay! Fish Friday!
Off down to the harbour at lunchtime.
My parcel from Royal Mail 48hr delivery, posted on Monday, will be here tomorrow. They must operate in another dimension!

Back from an almost 7 mile wander. The headtorch was required until 7.30. I wore my new Proviz insulated jacket. Really pleased with it. It was warm enough but not so much that I overheated on the climbs. Two ladies out for an early spin on their mountain bikes said it looked amazing when their lights hit it.

Porridge time now.

Cheers 👍. She is aware of this, that this might follow her around like a bad smell ( though I think it’s a little less likely because of personal information rules these days ) . That’s why she has sighed up with temp agency’s as well as applying for permanent jobs, so she can try put some distance ( job wise ) between her and the NHS .

Good idea (temp jobs), that is what D4 did, to “create a bridge” in her CV

Maybe grandson reads this thread, so he knows when to turn up ? 😊

Bonjour. Anyone has the central heating on yet? Not winter for another month you know.
Still in bed but my phone says 7 degrees outside.

7 degrees is warm. It’s minus 3 here. I’ve got 2 storage heaters on that are costing me a fortune but built up credit so not too worried. I don’t like being cold.

I have had the CH on for weeks now.
I suffer fro the cold and while I can afford to I will stay comfy.
