The Retirement Thread

Yep. It was tipping it down when I got up just after 6. It was tipping it down when I went out (not on the bike!) just after 9. It was tipping it down when I got back at 12. It was tipping it down just before I dropped off for a snooze began my meditation at 2. It was tipping it down when my eyes opened at 4. It's still tipping it down now and I suspect it still will be when I head out later.

We're a two XC90 household, so I'm suddenly feeling quite smug.

Now, do I take my 215 horse model, or the wifes 400 BHP version? Decisions, decisions.

Where to?

Erm, er, well, you see, its traditional in England to don sandals, shorts and a vest, and go for an unnecessary drive with a near empty fuel tank at the first sign of snow. Die hard traditionalists insist on fitting bald tyres and breaking down at the top of Snake Pass at 2am.

Morning. Up early and just finished breakfast. As it's not to get above freezing until nearly lunchtime, I am just going to get cracking and give the spare bedroom walls their final coat of emulsion so I have the afternoon free for a nice walk at least. Not sure about a cycle....I will see later how I feel.
