The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Two folding bikes to clean tomorrow, ready to sell them.
That should keep me busy in the morning.
Got two hybrids to clean as well, but they can wait until the weekend.

Just got back from delivering my Ridgeback Voyage to Tiverton. Blizzard conditions over the moors on the way out, sunshine on the way back!

Well I've had a very pleasant day out in North Devon, was great to meet Mr & Mrs Dirk

A pleasure to do business with you @GM.
Quite sorry to see that bike go.

PS. Tiverton is Mid Devon. You've a way to go up the A361 Link Road before you get to North Devon.

Good morning happy campers. I will be making a couple of cakes today. My youngest grandsons will be spending the day at my house tomorrow and they eat ALL DAY. So much food will be needed including cake.

Good morning everybody, yoga this morning

It's 'orrible out there, high wind and rain. Think I'll snuggle down with a few cups of tea and reappraise the situation in an hour, or so.

I am lucky although they do eat an awful lot. 15 year old twin boys can pack a hell of a lot of food into their mouths.

We never had kids.
I used to be one myself and it put me right off the idea.

My granddaughter is 5. I haven't seen her for a couple of weeks, with my Good Lady being in hospital she hasn't been up for breakfast on a Sunday for a couple of weeks. My Good Lady burnt the sausages one week and little Lucy complained then went round telling everybody "Nana burnt the sausages".

they eat ALL DAY.

We have seven grandchildren and they usually come through the front door say hello and head straight for the kitchen, (they can eat for England) I blame Mrs Afnug she buys all sorts of goodies she knows they don't get at home, its always nice to see them, but its also nice to return to peace and quiet when the go home.

Kids can be so cruel and brutally honest. Not to mention embarassing.

Final session of my "Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme" at 10:00. I've probably not shed the weight I put on over Christmas, so may be heavier than at the last one in December. High winds and rain forecast, although dry at the moment, so still debating whether to take the road bike (no guards) or tourer.
Will probably be the tourer; harder work, so more calories expended.
