The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

I got back about half an hour ago, 55 miles, an interesting ride home, I rode back into the village, Lighthorne's in a dip, the road drops steeply down into the village has about a dozen yards of flat then you climb steeply back out, I crossed the Fosse Way and into Wellesbourne, the road drops down into the village like it does into Lighthorne, both descents good for 30 mph plus on the fixed with me spinning like a demon, continued on past Charlecote house and the road I wanted was, as expected, flooded and impassable, so I rode the main road into Barford, then Warwick, leamington, stoneleigh and home, meant I was riding roads I haven't ridden for years. Another good and enjoyable mornings cycling.

This came up on my facebook news feed this morning and made me chuckle.

Chilly out there. Just braved the cold to clean !Mrs D's car. As I was shivering I was wishing that she had a Smart and not a 2 tonne behemoth.

Why don't you go to a hand car wash and keep those poor Romanians in work?

 

[Drago]

It's far quicker to do it myself. Not to mention cheaper.

Nah. I only had a half just to whet me whistle.
3 pints of that would have me silly!

That gonna be your excuse?

While Mr WD was doing some work on the big pond today he found a Harvest mouse nest in the brambles. It was empty but it's nice to know that we have varied wildlife around here.

Mrs D has been watching sh*tely come dancing. I have been sat in the conservatory reading a novel while making inroads into a bottle of Famous Grouse.
I feel a very early night coming on

My Good Lady also watches Strictly, I've been doing the ironing and listening to music, Network Gold on bbc sounds first then I switched to the music on my computer and have been listening to David Bowie.

I have been dozing in a chair. No strictly come Britain's got dancing crap for me.
