The Retirement Thread

Morning all. The bike is staying where it is today,rain and sleet

 

[Drago]

Yeah, pretty grim here. I have to wait for a parcel for Mrs D, so I'll settle down with a book for the morning.

Spent yesterday at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park followed by a tour of Broomhill boozers. Brought the lad back from Sheffield today then went out for Mrs. jg's inaugral 2018 training ride. 10 easy (for me) miles in the sunshine. It's still a bit nippy here for shorts though.

YSP is fantastic - give the Hepworth a go in Wakefield if you haven't already done so

Now listening to Derek and Clive while I do the housework.

The full, unexpurgated, 20 minute version of The Horn.

"No stamp, no address, just write 'C***, London' on the envelope, shove it in a post box, it'll go straight to the desk of the Director General at the BBC."

ALDI & LIDL run this morning in Bideford, then on to BJs Bargain Warehouse to stock up on quality FB products. Back to Barnstaple for a swift look around the bike shops, then lunch at Wetherspoons.

I didn’t sleep much last night. Dreamt a good friend was kidnapped by Ocado, held in the basement of a chateau and tortured.

It’s took ages to find her.....

Only just got up after rolling over when Mrs. jg's alarm went off at ten to six . Fell into a long discussion with Jimmy Nail about which are the best pub hamsters (Abyssinian it turns out). He was good crack but I had to leave him when he stole a paintbrush to eat his dinner with.

Yeah, first time we've been. Will definitely be going back and could easily call into Wakey for the Hepworth. Thanks for the tip.

Raining here today so I'm going to do some tandem fettling in anticipation of getting out in some better weather with Mrs. jg

So I've read this about six times, even Googled "best pub hamsters" and now feel as though I've fallen through the space time continuum in to another dimension................................or I've been smoking something I shouldn't.

Off to ALDI, Lidl and the bike shop to recuperate...........................

 

[Dirk]

I am actually now in the pub.....

Spent the morning in the man cave, a couple of mates bought there bikes to me this morning, so a bit of fettling and a cup of tea or two, also the postman delivered my front mech for my S2 Cervelo, so that is finally ready to ride again. I took it of the road over a year ago, stripped everything of it to put on the R5, then slowly over the year have built it back up again, (you need a spare bike) Just having a sandwich then it's back to the den for a bit more playing around, i love my life.

Good morning folks. . Supposed to be a chilly day here today. I wonder what and where some of you will end up.

In a box, probably.
