The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good evening all.
I know most people like the warm weather, but I don't do well in temperatures above 20⁰c.
I need a cool shower after working in the garden this afternoon and sweating copious amounts.
Tomorrow we are off yo the Hertfordshire County show. I always come back with lots of produce from the food tents.

Nice walk and lunch earlier.
Managed to tire out the pup, so we had a peaceful late afternoon. She's woken up now and racing around like a mad thing.
Hope she gets tired in time for bed.
Did a little job on the MZ - changed the front sprocket to one with a tooth higher.
Will try it out tomorrow, as I have to go to the MZ dealer in Taunton.

As it was a warm dry day I thought that I would rejuvenate the soffit lights on the front of the garage, all 6. A bit of rust killer first then a first coat of white paint. Then lunch followed by a 19 mile ride. Oh what joy, a ride without feeling cold and just shorts and short sleeved top. After a shower it was time for a second coat of the lights and then refitted them. Whilst I was about it, I cleaned the fascia and the troughing with good old car black plastic cleaning gel. A rest tomorrow me thinks.

It was raining at stupid o'clock this morning! ☔

Slightly cloudy here but the sun is trying to break through. Looks like a decent few days of weather. Wish I felt more motivated to make use of it.

Coooeee. 12 deg here and I can see the mist over the forest. Looks quite spooky. 😆

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
A cloudy start to the day here but due to clear soon and be sunny and warm 30⁰ for the rest of the day.
As I said last night we are off to the county show, I always spend too much on produce, but it is worth it.
Listening to Tony Blackburn on the radio at the moment before I take Millie out for a walk before it gets too warm for her.
Enjoy your day everyone

Morning folks am enjoying the higher temps as is my garden, roses are looking very healthy. Nearly got knocked off tuther day...on my estate an oncoming van decided that he would go round a parked car on his side of the road ignoring the fact i had right of way [might is right attitude] i was squeezed into the gutter with inches between my handlebars and white van man and the kerb. Im all for self preservation but meekly bowing to 'might is right' starts a bad precedence.

Good morning from a sunny Dorset. Daughter and her chap arrived yesterday afternoon and we headed out for a walk, finishing at the local pub. Had 3 pints of " Faith " from Northern Monk so feeling a bit vague this morning. Lunch is at the 29029 Nepalese restaurant, 10 of us will be celebrating my 77th birthday 😮
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️🏖️🦔

Morning all.
Little to do today.
Family is away so I am on cat duty. Ive never had a cat (or a dog) but this one is so ignorant. It shows no affection.....just comes in and out and eats.
I am waiting for a call from the doctors practice and have been given a window of 08.15 till 1800 which is helpful .
I have to nip to Aldi so will go as soon as I've had my coffee.

Happy birthday @Tenkaykev 🍺 🍺
