The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Saturday and Sunday we are expecting 14 deg but with warnings for strong winds and heavy rain

Stay away from the baked beans and chilli!

Not quite retirement.But it seems certain people may enhance their cv's.So i thought i might upgrade mine.
I was in International communications,handling vast amounts of private information,relating to health, business and personal details World wide and local handling,with security being it's most important factor.Really i was a Postman.

True but you must agree that if you have a regular" walk" you build up information on people just by looking at the post they get and that does not imply opening any of it as the return addresses tell you a lot.

That bloke Oddwheels knows too much. Bring him in for questioning.

We put the CH in the morning and the wood burner mid afternoon.
At the moment, we are getting free wood but it won't last.
To buy a builders bag of hard wood is ,£85.

1 dumpy seasoned hardwood is £125 here.

Is that seasoned for £85?

Morning. Minus 3 again. I might just about squeeze in a walk before the snow/rain/wind arrives.

Hello all.
Warmer at 3° this morning.
Hard to believe we have a storm coming in later as everything is quiet out there.
A TV sports day is due.
Apparently I am having a full breakfast at 10.30. Hope I can wait cos I'm hungry now.

Good morning all.
It's only 3⁰c at the moment, but is supposed to be a tropical 13⁰ by this afternoon, but with heavy rain and gusty winds from the edge of storm Bert.
I've got a few errands to run, but I won't be on the bike today.
I'll probably spent the afternoon watching the footy on the telly box, plus Spurs are at Man. City later on.

Good morning from a wet and windy south coast. Several local parkruns cancelled and the one we do is having the course checked at 07:00. Temperature has risen and yesterdays clear skies meant that the house battery was fully charged. Will take myself down to the shed later as I have some wood staining to do for the bath panel I am making.

Cooooeeee. 6 deg here. Dark as a dark thing and hissing down with rain. Its been raining for hours. And it's windy as well. Bert is raising its ugly head

Stay safe peeps

4.7 mile walk done before the weather changes. I could feel the temperature slowly rising and the wind starting to pick up so something is imminent I think.

Good wet, cold and windy morning. Bert has arrived. In the last hour we've had rain, snow and hail. I have to go to the footie in this! Geez. 😕 It is bloody miserable outside.

I've switched on the CH, made coffee, switched on the electric blanket, back in bed. I'm very comfy. Toasty even. Shortly I'll get up, do battle with the stove - out of kindling and I'm not going to the allotment - and do the ironing.

My reward will then be bacon, eggs, fried potato, toast, marmalade and coffee.

Next door's gutter is overflowing. I will have to unblock it. My neighbour is a man who gardens once a year.....in freshly laundered white shirt. The ladies nicknamed him pot plant........nice to look at but no use at all.....🤣 He's a really nice guy but has no world skills whatsoever
