The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

This evening I want a cigarette. God knows how many years since I quit and every now and then the desire returns.

So a lot of chores done today. House cleaned, three loads of washing, beds changed, more kindling kindled, last beans picked for freezer, tea made.

I now have a whisky - large!!!

Five of our guys are on the Ride Across Britain event. For those who don't know this is a very expensive way to ride LeJog - £1800 for nine days.

Anyway they are on home turf tomorrow, riding through Lancashire. Foolishly a few of us committed to support them for a few miles. The forecast is, can't put it any other way, shoot!!!

Tomorrow I will be a very wet Paul.

Today I've done very little, a bit of shopping (real and online) getting last few bits for holiday. Tomorrow I'm going for a ride as the weather looks good again.

I get that feeling sometimes as well. Suddenly it's bam I want one for no apparent reason. You have my sympathies.

Tomorrow I shall be partaking of a beer at the Beer Inn, in Beer.
It don't get much more beery than that!
Might even buy the T shirt.....

You'll not be buying a pint then?

I shall be cycling by an indirect route to Whimple for beer and conversation.

I will probably still be waiting for the police to eventually turn up...…………...

Don't hold your breath waiting for them.

I stopped smoking in 1977, but once in a while I crave a cigarette, I suspect it's just something that ex smokers sometimes get.

I gave up 7 years ago and most of the time I don't even think about smoking, but once in a while........

The time it usually happens is sitting quietly outside with a drink. Then it enters my head that just one would be great. Of course it's never just one which is why it took me so long to kick the habit.

Guess what I was doing this evening

I can't imagine what it must be like with alcohol or hard drugs.
