Good morning all.
Raining here but no wind to speak of and forecast is for a bright sunny afternoon.
No real plans as yet.

Morning folks cycling wont be on the agenda today thats for sure! I get bored stuck indoors...my dvd's have been watched and re-watched and having only a few things that interest me..same thing with books. Bike maintenance is up to date with everything clean/oiled/adjusted, garden has been planned, not too difficult when its pocket sized hmmm guess i'll wander up to the charity shop, thats my highlight of the day!

Salut. Picking up 2 great grand children at 11 and try to keep them busy till time to go back home at 3.30. Luckily,they are easy to entertain and Mrs G is pretty good at it.
A bit windy and wet today.

Morning all

Farmer, across the way, decided to combine his field at 0530 yesterday morning! Less than 100yds from our bedroom window. I know that they have to get work done but I thought it was a bit anti social on a Sunday morning, especially as the forecast was good for all day yesterday.
Off to Tesco in Minehead this morning and dropping in to Tool Zone on the way back to pick up some threaded bar.

Morning.
Wet and windy and no not my shorts. Still it's good fo rthe garden apparently. The lawn looking very parched in places.
Due to brighten up by early afternoon but weights today as I rode Sat and Sun.

Van goes for its MOT today. I cant drive for another 2 weeks yet so Mrs D will drive and I'll sit in the passenger seat projecting an invisible force field around the van as she drives along.

My wife is 'retiring early' in a couple of weeks......... well, selling her business (her & another woman own it), then there's the balance of what's in the bank, the sale of the (100% owned) office
I'm wondering if I can go to work 7 days a week

She wants me to retire now
I had expected to go to 'full term', she says "no"

I've offered a couple of options to her
1. See what I can do on my 60th (later this year)
2. Get to 30 years service, if I manage to last that long (currently on 28 years & 5 months)

If you can afford to, retire now.
