The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I'm minding a poorly granddaughter today, she seems to have this flu like thing that's doing the rounds ,

Not good.

Breakfast in bed, walked the dog on Waldridge Fell, done my workout and stretches. Now showered and ready for lunch at the Red Lion. Partial retirement is fab - can't wait to go fully retired.

The youngest has just been over and washed his car, and our two as well. Life is great.

Hangover mr drago ?

Maybe a teensy one. The dog seems keen to get back to the Goat and Vasectomy though.

Just got back from delivering cakes to the workies. Carried on with my ride and did 23 miles, 1100 ft of climbing and averaged 13.7 mph. Lovely clear day with views across the channel to Wales.
Quick shower and a nice lunch of mussels in a white wine sauce, crusty artisan bread and washed down with a small bottle of Chenin Blanc.
I hope they enjoyed their cakes.

Just waiting for a call from the vet to collect the mutt, and then as it's brightened up a bit I might get a little ride in,

I got back in about half an hour ago, a 40 mile ride at 13.5mph, now whilst it was fun on the way out with the tail wind it was tough on the way back with the headwind. Made it interesting for myself as well, theres a road I normally use thats closed at the moment, but I forgot to work out an alternative route before I went out, so I ended up cycling a section of dual carriageway on the way out that I don't normally cycle and on the way back I cycled a large busy roundabout that I'm not keen on even when I'm in the car.

I am off for the first swim for nearly 3 weeks, it is not going to be fun.

Swimming never is!

Once Mrs and Mini Drago are out the door I'm going to quickly spruce up the house, then I'll be off out for a spin. I might leave Colin in the rack today and take the Felt roadie for a bimble.

Morning people. I think i might have another cup of coffee while i think of what i am going to do today. (Probably not a lot).

Doggie walking then a bit of shopping this morning.
Bit of gardening this afternoon - grass definitely needs cutting.

Just got back from an hour and a half walk with the dog across the fields, now time for breakfast. Egg and bacon sandwiches and a mug of tea.
Then time for a bit of DIY, MrsP wants some hooks put up in the spare room, then I shall be out on the bike for a couple of hours, followed but a pint or three in the pub.
I think I may enjoy this retirement lark.

Just looking out the kitchen window at our lawn thinking the same if it dries up a bit later it'll get its first cut of the year.
