The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

There are some weird and odd people here I have to admit. Most are just hippy dippy people. I blame CAT.

I went on a camping thing in South Wales
2 groups of kids and supervising adults - us from North Wales and another group from Mid Wales - near CAT and some of the adults were a bit strange!!
They did have a lot of solar and wind stuff so we managed to have videos and telly in the middle of a field in spit of no power connection - which was nice!

CAT is only about 10 miles from me just outside Mach. And I totally agree with you

Sorry, what is CAT?

Bonjour tout le monde. We had frost last night and it is still only 2 degrees out. We tend to put the CH is the morning and the Woodburner mid afternoon as it only heats up our lounge.
The water board came this morning and confirmed that I was paying my water bill for next door as well as the meter was reading both houses.
I should get a nice rebate for Christmas or free water for the next few months.
They still have to sort out the water meter though.

Was wondering that too? I am presuming some sort of hippy colony?

Just googled. Centre for Alternative Technology if I’ve found the correct place?

Centre for Alternative Technology. Its based in an old quarry outside of Mach.

They specialise in green energy, green homes growing their own food, etc.

They tend to not like anything new. They prefer to live more like its the 18th century. Compost toilets, etc

We are having chicken with BBQ sauce on them and a few fries ( that's posh for chips) for lunch.

I’ve just had some carrot and coriander soup.

The blue sky has gone and there’s more cloud now.

DPD is coming between 1 and 2 with oat milk.

We seem to have a weather warning possibly snow for us. I must admit the sun has disappeared now

I am coming up 2 months of not eating any added sugar or things made with flour like bread, cake, biscuits, pastry, etc. Only lost about 9 pounds but it’s as much for health benefits as weight loss. It seems to have helped my binge eating on unhealthy stuff.

Gosh, just reading that it looks likely that Royal Mail is being sold off to a Czech billionaire. I’d better not state my thoughts on what’s happened to Great Britain over the years.

Well it brings a whole new meaning my cheque is in the post.Service is crap compared to our day.

Been into town. Whilst perusing an exhibition in the library I became aware of two polis officers sounding agitated behind me. From what I could overhear it appears that they had entered the library looking for someone, possibly in pursuit of someone ? The courts are just around the corner, possibly someone doing a runner ? All very disconcerting. I wandered down to the next floor and one of them seemed to be showing a staff member something on her phone, presumably a photo. When I went back up to the exit she was hovering by the door. Their polis van was outside so presumably they were still looking. I’m glad I didn’t encounter the subject of their search.

Spent many a day sitting in the court there back when we did our own escorts.
