The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

My back door opens up to a 5 acre field with trees.

My front door opens up to common land and forestry commission hills that are covered in trees. I can walk 50 yards down the road and look over the hills to Cader Idris in the distance.

Fleet reduction still not going well. Took the (modern) scooter for an MOT, had a look round the sales section of the sort of 'old fashioned' (i.e good) motorbike place it was tested at whilst waiting. 'Oh, hello, what's that in the corner?' quickly turned into pretend non-plussed interest to going back the next day and buying it. Thursday it was MOT'd and delivered, insured and taxed.

Then I went for a ride on the Lambretta which then promptly spat it's dummy out when I got home by not starting again. My mate had a look today and found out the kill switch (button) thing had earthed itself, or something.

Prior to this it was the second trip of the day to the candle factory at Burwardsley, earlier in car with daughter and dog, second time on modern scooter following my mate on his Lambretta.

In typical Lambretta fashion, his exhaust fell off on the way.

And once outside the building?

Woods and a golf course

Cool, scored tickets to see Elvana...a Nirvana tribute band fronted by an Elvis impersonator. They're supposed to be very good.

I've had a wasted day, not been out, not got anything done, just been indoors nursing this cold.

If it is a cold, try some ice cream. Eaten at a time when you'd normally be doing very little.

Dangerous place that candle factory, friend of mine slipped on the floor and broke their wrist.

Another gorgeous day here so I am off for a bimble. Be good people and if you can't be good be very very bad.

Best be bad if it involves you

Me?

 

[172traindriver]

I wasn't. But they are crap. Especially in this area

One bus a week?

 

[172traindriver]

That looks a bit squeaky, do they supply the bus driver with a tub of vaseline.

 

[172traindriver]

Me?

Yes you
