Full on clear out today, two trips to the tip and this is the pile to take to the charity shop tomorrow (not the mower!)

That just reminded me. When we were out walking this morning we saw a guy on a unicycle.

It’s heavy rain here now.

So - clearly - people riding Unicycles causes rain??

possibly only if it is a man - but that is unclear
 
It is with much regret that i am writing to you today.Recent events have made me make this sad decision.I am leaving CycleChat,the Retirement Section.Early this year i undertook a new part time position as a care giver.I recently returned home from a holiday in Portugal.Today overwhelmed with the catch up of work not completed whilst being away,it has come to my attention i am no longer retired.A quick walk around the garden this morning has revealed an abundance of weeds that need removing.The interior of the house has a slight film of dust on surfaces,a large quantity of washing up this morning ,has made me rethink my position in the retirement team.,also an amount of dried washing has been found in the tumble dryer,this is after spending over two hours with a hot iron yesterday ironing holiday clothes and clothes worn by my father in law in the care home.Today Sunday due to an unexpected workload i have not gone to church,i am not able to do everything without blowing my top. so i have come to a decision i am no longer retired.I will of course keep in touch via other sections of CC,but sadly not retirement postings ,it has been wonderful and i hope to be back,before the grim reaper turns his page and my name appears on his list.It does not help ones attitude that one has a crappy throat,due to changes in temperature and weather conditions and being with many people on a coach and plane.I remain your humble servant Postman.

Cue plaintive violin music.
