The Retirement Thread

[Elybazza61]

Fine start here but rain was forecast for 9:30 onwards so decided not to ride today but it's now only just started raining so I could have gone out .

Anyway got some stuff done including giving the Ercol table/desk a second wax and also gave the vintage Eames/Herman Miller chair a good clean and Autosoled the ally base and part of the arms.Got to look in to removing the plastic coating on the arms as it's started to come off in parts but the remainder is pretty well glued on.

Also been sorting out some of the gps units I have lying around including a Wahoo Bolt V1 and Garmin 520 that have both charged up so will do restore and updates, still have to find the charging cable for the Garmin 500 as it uses the old usb cable.

Have you seen the Proclaimers live before ?
We saw them some years ago, they were excellent.

I used to do a brilliant proclaimers on the karaoke when I was pished. Alas, Im now teetotal so this legendary turn is consigned to history.

Just got back from my extended walk to Wimborne. Started off in bright sunshine but just outside Wimborne I got caught up in a hailstorm 😮. Sheltered under a tree until it passed. Now tucking into a pasta salad and watching the flock of starlings demolish the suet blocks.

Good afternoon. Sunshine and showers. We decided against riding and it proved a good decision as a cold wind has got up. I've used the day to do small stuff that needed doing and attend a u3a Zoom meeting on contingency and succession planning. It was good. Off to town shortly to run some small errands and a gym session.

The major worry for today is a fledgling jackdaw. Our neighbours have jackdaws nesting and they are ready for the off. One is stuck on our garden steps and clearly doesn't know what to do. I'm loathe to pick him/her up. I've WhatsApped our neighbours to warn them of this. I've asked they check before letting George and Bridget out when they get home. G&B are two beautiful cats, a British Blue and an American Rag Doll, but George in particular will make toast of the little jackdaw. George sees himself as a bit of a hunter. He's actually pretty crap at it but even he won't miss this little chap.
