The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Laurel hedge trimmed and general garden tidying done.
Thought I'd have a tinker with my Bantam this afternoon, as I've put a new silencer on it and it's suddenly decided to run rich in the mid range and top end. A half hour changing main jets and altering needle position and it's running nice and clean again.

Good late afternoon. What a beautiful day it has been. Perfect for a 62 mile gravel ride taking us, purely by chance you understand, remarkably close to a rather good Italian coffee house. It's on an industrial estate and very, very popular. That tells you how good it is www.lupocaffe.co.uk

They don't offer flat white, my favoured coffee, as it is not an Italian coffee. I've got the T-shirt!! Pics from today, a fledgling heron, brioche filled with aubergine and cheese and the others are obvious.

Your never too old to learn, I've just found out I have a balance control on my computer,
being slightly deaf in my right ear and using headphones I can only hear with my left
so a quick google and "hay presto" I can hear in both ears, settings 10 left 21 right
Yes I'm a deaf old bugger

I have been for a jaunt Into Gwynedd, snowdonia national Park.

It's still really warm here.

Don't you mean Eryri National Park?

Don't you mean Eryri National Park?

Most people still call it Snowdon

I call it Derek.

Just had a call from Dad. His Sister, my Aunt, who lives in America has passed away.

Who's Jack Grealish, and why have they done that to his cup?

Flat white is my preferred brew too but I was told that it was a capucino without the chocolate sprinkled on top.
Just find another coffee shop without pretentious owners!

Morning. Up early so I think I’ll attempt a bimble before it gets too warm. It won’t be far and I’m just going to take the Specialized flat bar for a bit of comfort.

I'm awake and sitting downstairs reading the forum. Sparky is coming at 09:00 to replace some light switches with wireless ones ( the wiring on the upstairs lighting circuit is dodgy and has been replaced, the cables to the light switches are chased into the wall so it's easier to fit wireless wall switches). The switches need to be paired to each individual receiver, so I did that myself yesterday evening as I was bored 😉

A quick good morning to all.
Yesterday I had a short (very short) walk with my strollator. Handy as it has a seat so I was able to rest when needed.
Another 1st today as I am going to try the pub at lunch time......maybe a lime and soda.

I have risen!
