The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
The overnight rain has stopped, but the deluge for today and the next couple of days is just starting, I don't think I'll be out on the bike today.🤔
I have a prescription to pick up and a meeting of the escape committee this afternoon.

Weather is awful. Confined to barracks for the day methinks.

Well, the need for more sleep won the battle and another hour has been grabbed.
Time to do battle with the bedding.
Talking to my friend yesterday it was obvious that he struggles with the duvet as well.
My domestic experience with women is (fortunately) limited but the only 3 ie Sue, my daughter and my cleaner have no such problems..... is it a skill that women are born with and men are doomed to merely envy ??

I was taught that with a decent malt.......add a trickle of cold water to help it breathe then take it slowly.
Cheap whisky eg Aldi's own I have always added lemonade or Coke etc.

Aldi and Lidl do an Islay peated Malt. I tried both a few years ago. Very good indeed. One of the YouTube channels that specialises in whisky did a taste test and said it was outstanding value. Of course the particular batches will change over time but for several months the speyside stuff would be on the shelves but a gap where the Islay usually is.

I am one of the people that just don't like peaty malts**. I like the sweeter Speyside type. That's why this new Black Ruby sounds nice to me.
**me and Laphroiag (spelling ?) are like Ebiker and cheese.
I am told that, as a child, Ebiker was forced to watch Wallace and Gromit for hours on end.

Good morning, off to Weymouth this morning for our " Second Friday " get together. We have a friend over from Spain for a few days, he needs to sort out his Bank cards and Pin's and it's easier in person. Weather is going to be challenging, especially as it's a coastal town on a sticky out bit 😁

Morning.
Wet here and due to getting wetter.
Fortunately got a ride in yesterday in the dry and sunshine. Think it''ll be weights today.
New chain and cassette on way so if that arrived I'll be cleaning/Squirting then installing.

Might get wet on my way down to the town at lunchtime.
