The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!
Muttley walked, house tidied, exercises completed. Just sitting g down with a well earned Clooneys and a Quaker Oats breakfast bar, which I've discovered this week are rather pleasant.

Morning all.
Up late this morning.......I think Mr Numbnuts has given me his habit. Was in bed at 22.30, straight to sleep and woke at 08.50......I even missed Tony Blackburn.
I have a favour to ask everyone......please, pretty pretty please.....STOP TALKING ABOUT BL**DY BIKE RIDES OR RUNNING till my back is better .... it depresses me .
A gray day but no rain. Plenty of sport to watch, so not too bad really.

The cafe in the V&A is extremely expensive, £4.65 for small bit of carrot cake, good thing though as it helps me stick to my diet.

Back from a mainland trip. Dire warnings of ferry cancellations so made a run unbooked for the 1000 from Oban. Plenty space and no effing bus parties who plank themselves on every available seat and look as if they are definitely not enjoying themselves. They are like sheep. If the first one goes and sits in the cafeteria the rest follow and sit there and do not even buy a token cup of something. This is a place where food is served and you expect to sit down to eat but some plank sits there looking defiant and refusing to move to a lounge seat if one can be found. I could go on about the misdeeds of bus parties but there is not enough space.

People in general these days seem to be so rude, bad mannered.

I did get up. Woke at 2.00, read till 5.00, slept till 8.00. This isn't really working.

Ironing done, tidied round, bobbed in to Carphone Warehouse to pick up son's new phone - Christmas. Collected son and now we are both sitting around before the footie.

Derby County today. Could give us four wins in a row and potentially go 8th. There's a possibility Rovers could be top six by Christmas. Not that I'm getting excited Come on you Blues!

Afternoon all.

A bit late as I went out on a social ride with my club.

Abandoned after the first hour as the social definition now appears to be hammer the crap out of it and see who abandons.
Apparently another member abandoned at the coffee stop and called her husband to come and pick her up.

Why do people do this? We have fast rides and long rides posted on our FB page, but people seem to want to come on a social ride and smash it.

Feeling a little annoyed, which wasn't why I went on the ride.

I appreciate people have different levels of fitness - I've not been out much as I've been dealing with the aftermath of my mum passing away, but when I was fit and leading I made sure no one was dropped or left behind.
It's not hard . Grrrrr

Never done club rides and tbh cant see the attraction.
