The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Not wishing to be political (this is about the man, not his politics) but I've been watching his hands and I've come to the conclusion that Keir Starmer is a king fu master, possibly even a Shaolin Martial Monk.

Ah....so you've noticed that his left hand is bigger than his right, as well?
I came to a different conclusion.......

Good morning all.
A heavy sleep was slept and I feel decidedly groggy.
I have no plans except to try a stroll later.

Good morning. 'Tis dull and grey here. There is allotment work to do but everything is soaked after last night's downpours. I was in Manchester and the rain was biblical. My right knee is stiff, very stiff, serious stretching is next on the agenda. We had a good ride yesterday but one way and another I was quite sedentary for the rest of the day which often causes it to swell.

A solo night out in Manchester for me yesterday to see the legendary Roy Harper at the Bridgewater Hall. He's 84 now and the voice is as powerful as ever. Roy Harper? You ask? I don't quite know how to describe his work, lets say folk-rock writer, poet and singer. A great night and Roy was accompanied by his son Nick, a very accomplished guitarist. I was very surprised on yesterday's club ride that five of the eleven riding were going to the same gig.........I suggested club kit but didn't get any takers

Looking back I need to catch up in here. Possibly with my lunch..................

THE cat has just let me know it's ready to come in.

I have just slit the tip of my index finger, right hand (on a safety razor ).....it won't stop bleeding.
I have stuck a small plaster on it but it's in a really awkward place.
It's one of those times when you realise just how much you rely on a finger.

The first time I saw Roy Harper was when he was the support to Genesis at Knebworth in 1978. I became a fan of his style and have seen a dozen or so times since.
