The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Back to cycling. Rule #9 applies. The last 26 miles was ridden on the edge of storm Amy. We timed our ride to finish at 2.00, she was due at 3.00. I thought a woman's prerogative was to be late........not friggin' early. Oh boy was it wet! The Bicycle Lounge was very interesting. I have an appointment next Wednesday to be fitted for a Pinarello and discuss models. This was not my intention but I couldn't resist.

The crisis was averted. I arrived at my buddy's house and he greeted me with a banana. I bought him coffee which makes it a very expensive banana.

And in my Y fronts.

One of the many things I miss about Scotland is the westher. You knew mother nature was in charge. Down here its bland and sanitised, usually spent by the timenit half heartedly reaches poshshire.

Got to the theatre early and am supping a Malbec from a plastic wine glass. The other surprise is that I thought we were going to see " I'm sorry I haven't a clue " but we're actually going to see " Dead Ringers " 😁

Both are wonderful wireless broadcasts!

I have just checked my drysuit for kayaking out and the latex socks have perished
not happy, just seen the replacement cost £65

70mph gusts at the moment and reports of trees down on a lot of the roads.

What sort of kayak do you have ?
I had a sit on top and enjoyed many enjoyable hours around Anglesey and our local canal.

Drago’s Y fronts will just about be in the Borders by now.

Knowing my luck I'd stick it on the wrong way round

Sit on top, I use to have a sea kayak, but sold it
I made a sail for the sit on top

High winds & power cut here. Earliest time for reconnection is 8am providing weather has calmed down.

Toddled off to get fish & chips as we cannot cook (electric cooker).

Rip Off Britain - 2 regular fish & chips in Kendal; an astonishing £22.80!
