The Retirement Thread

Sunny and 8° C here.

Back in Barnet now. Shopping and deliveries done. I thought I would take the opportunity for a pint or two as the temperature outside is dropping and the rain clouds are gathering.

Christmas lunch consumed...... well half of it anyway. They are just too generous. I dont know about you but if someone puts a huge plate of food in front of me my stomach flips and I know there is no chance of finishing it. I had melon n ham starter followed by traditional meal. It was very well done and very tasty, just too much.

Hello all. Out on the bike today. 55 miles with the last 6-7 wet and very cold.

Got home in time to go to U3A table tennis. I'm now officially nackered. Fortunately Mrs P is making tea otherwise we'd starve.

Some very nice looking bikes in the thread today.

Just cracked open a nice bottle of oirish single malt.

My hat is doffed to you sir.
55 miles in SUMMER is about my limit. On a nice, crisp winter day it may be 20. On a sh*te, cold, miserable day like today it would be a large whisky and a pint of ale

A day of contrasts here today, a trip down the hospital early this morning, an excellent Xmas lunch with our fellow retirees at the Wednesday pensioners club dinner time, and a trip to the doctors this afternoon. My Good Lady apparently has an arthritic knee, she got up this morning and could hardly walk, even with her walker, and was crying with pain, the hospital just said see the doctor, we managed to get in to see a doctor, we were in and out in a couple of minutes and were given strong pain killers.

My wife has been stuck in bed for the last two days with a stomach bug that seems to be going round. So far I have escaped it but for how much longer?

Out and about today, took the Audax bike for a spin

Thank you Dave. I had five pints of session IPA last night. For me that is an awful lot of beer!! Staying in wasn't an option.
