The Retirement Thread

Breakfast ( peanut butter and marmite on toast) and one coffee downed and watched a bit of NFL highlights on YouTube.

Got a Zwift session in yesterday so will either be an admin/indoor stuff day or some gardening (greenhouse needs clearing out ) depending on the weather.

Oh and will be having chip butty for lunch when the chippy van gets here.

Peanut butter!!! A food i have never tried. Lots of people say how nice it is and I'm not knocking it I've just never tried it. I think its the colour and consistency together that put me off.

Have to get a decent one though, a lot of the cheaper ones are very sickly.

Peanut butter, to me, is like Black Pudding to you.... 🤮

'Tis truly the excrement of beelzebub!

@Mike Ayling dont forget to look after my grandson as he flies out to Oz the Friday. You will recognise him as he takes after me.
He flies into Sidney, stays at Wollongong (only an Oz could come up with that name) than flies West to Pert for 2 weeks.
NB
Over here on tv we get (repeats of) a series we call Nothing to Declare...... it might be called Border Force over there. Its fascinating what people will try and how good your airport customs officers are at sniffing out the 'baddies'.

Morning all, off to see a show at The Brindley Theatre this evening in Runcorn.

Must check what is on there
never been but it is only 10 minutes away!

Most of that is fairly sensible.

Along with what they had already introduced, I have to say I much prefer cycling over there. On the whole Europe seems much better set up for cyclists.

Found this

thought it belonged here

@Dirk I was just reading about the international sand bike racing a Weston Super Mare. It says there were over 1,000 bikes competing.
Does that sport interest you ?
As a lad I remember watching it at New Brighton......that must have been late 50s/early 60s.
Edit
Just read that at NB it went into the 70s.

I don't know if any of you have tried grass track cycling, I used to make a few bob at the highland games when I was a kid.

So it's overcast and very windy up here at the moment but it looks like the rain has missed this time.
