The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Just checking weather forecast for next weekend. If it holds out, I might just hitch the van up and disappear into the depths of Dartmoor for Christmas.

Back home after an hour in the pool, the sun is out and so will the bike be later this morning.

Taken the plunge and booked the van onto a CL on Dartmoor for 5 nights, starting Friday.
Missus has got a small Xmas tree and twinkly lights for the van, I've got a stock of red wine and beer.
That will make 57 nights in the caravan this year.

I am pleased to see you enjoying retirement, good on you.

made it to the coffee stop and had a break and then set off home.
Got dropped on the last big hill and abandoned and rode the last 12 miles on my own. mentioned it on our club FB page and got a kicking for being negative.

You should have gone out with the other group, they were a great bunch.

Went on another club ride today. Much better than Sundays. Except we had a coming together and I am now nursing torn ligaments in my knee and ankle.

Not been a good week for retired cycling!

I spent most of the morning giving the turbo a thrashing, then in the afternoon I took my Good Lady down the club had a gossip and played bingo with the rest of the pensioners. Tomorrow I'm out on my bike.

Yesterday was an my last Tai Chi for beginners for 2017, I think I will be on the beginners course for the whole of 2018

Today I did not go swimming for the first Thursday in a very long time, Spoons has my brekkie ready and a day out with my better half awaits.

Reason for not swimming, late night out tonight with a 30 mile drive home, so thought I should have a couple of extra hours in bed. Still been awake since before 5 so that did not go to plan.

Just thought I'd let you know I'm still in work.
I'm monitoring this thread though.....

Think I might get up in a bit and take the doggie down the beach.
