The Retirement Thread

[The Jogger]

I make rare appearances in the politics room now although I've just posted there the intention is to do less politics since I've retired, losing interest rapidly.

I've rapidly lost interest in politics as I've got older. Its a (near) universal truth that politicians of all stripes are lying shysters who's only real interest is themselves.

Anyhoo, on a more topical note, Mrs D has one of her regular hospital appointments with the MS doc this morning, so I'll be taking her.

I'm bicycling today, but not until it warms up somewhat.

Taking a day off work to join the retirees on their slow ride. It's part of my recovery rehab from the op.

And yes, as a workie I'm interloping

You should take early retirement and join us properly........

 

[Drago]

Work. Such a waste of life

 

[welsh dragon]

Such a 4 letter word.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Coventry, my bikes parked behind me ready to go, I'm sat here in my cycle gear, I'm heading out for a bike ride in about ten minutes.

 

[Drago]

Yes, I can hear people scrapping theirs....I would hate to have to get up and do the same .....

If they worked a bit harder they could buy a Ford with a quick clear screen

We're out on the bikes again today.
Mrs D somehow managed to avoid doing any hills from the end of October until last week. I kept telling her she would regret it, but my advice fell on deaf ears. We started her hill training again last week, and boy is she suffering.
So, every ride from now on will have about a hundred feet per mile climbing. She needs to get her strength back for our Tour de Dorset in May.
I keep telling her it's for her own good, but she can't see the funny side of it.
