The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all. Got back to bed and had a half decent sleep.
My neighbour wants to go for a lunchtime drink. I would happily sit here in my Pj's but some weeks I think I am the only person he gets to talk to so I won't let him down.

Morning all

Staying in the warm today.
I really don't like Winter.

Bonjour.
We are snowed up again and the schools are closed.
Another day to stay indoors.

Good morning. I wasn't expecting this -4⁰ and snowing. Just had a look at my calendar. I've got a spin class at 9.30 and then nothing booked till 10.00 Monday. That is unusual.

I must crack on. I need to leave at 8.55. Getting the garage door open will be a struggle, the village road will be sheet ice and if school is open bang in the middle of deliver little Johnny to school hour.

I think my brother was trying to video call me. He wasn't successful. He def isn't tech savvy

Busy morning so far here in Hamtun!
Hoovering has been done & water reservoir in the fridge has been topped up via the Brita filter jug.
Must be time for a coffee ☕ 👍

It wasn't my brother, it was one of his cats who sat on his phone.

It wasn't my brother, it was one of his cats who sat on his phone.

So, you could say a “cat call” 😊

 

[welsh dragon]

He said he would have to ask the cat how-to do it. I video called him back. He has now found it so we can talk without costing us anything in phone calls.

Blue skies and sunshine now and a massive -2 deg.

Wasn’t as cold here as I was anticipating. Actually felt quite cosy on my walk with my padded jacket and beanie on.

@numbnuts regarding printers. Our use is very infrequent and low. We have an HP3700 ink jet. It's small, compact, wireless, scanner, printer, copier. It sits in the bottom corner of a bookcase in our dining room. It never receives any attention other than a dust if it's dusty. Completely reliable and decent every day printing. Occasionally the wireless connection fails. This means the user, me, has forgotten to switch the printer on before booting the laptop.

From memory it was £35, and definitely no more than £50. I always buy HP branded ink cartridges as I feel this helps maintain the printer. I might buy two or three cartridges in a year so price isn't a consideration.

If that suits your needs I would recommend looking at the current equivalent HP. For occasional home use I don't feel it's necessary to spend more than £50.

At work we always used HP printers, laptops, screens docking stations etc. Completely reliable and decent quality.

Thank yo for that
