The Retirement Thread

here and I was going to clean the car

Just put the soap on the car and let nature wash it, whilst you watch.

I am missing it, but going to give it a miss for a while to see if the back/sciatic twinges improve. Just wish the weather would improve for cycling. Even walking on the trails after the rain we have had isn't great.

Mo....really hope it improves soon for you.
The numbness in my left leg is definitely receeding. MrsD tells me to get to the physio but I really think its almost there now.

My best wishes for it to ease soon, I've got back from my ride and it feels like I've got toothache in my right hip.

I got back from Countesthorpe about 2 having ridden 54 miles, turned right out of the Garden Centre, rode through the village and found out why the ride out had been so easy and pleasant, I had a light head wind for most of ride home, by the time I got to Gilmorton the sun had gone and it had clouded over, but it stayed dry all the way home, I had to divert away from Monks Kirby both on the way out and and on the way back. they were hedge cutting on Millers Lane between the Fosse Way and Monks Kirby so I used the Fosse Way instead. That was an enjoyable morning out on the bike

Mine is so bad it has what looks like green moss growing around the window frames!

Yes, I sometimes go up in the car as well, taking my Good Lady with me. I took my Good Lady and my Sister in Law up just before Xmas, they had a great time in their Xmas shop.

I cleaned my car last Wednesday, a road closure on Saturday had me using a small lane complete with a ford, it needs cleaning again now.

I washed my car 3 times last week and will likely do so again this week.

 

[welsh dragon]

I washed my car once last year.

I washed my car once last year.

I did mine 3 or 4 times last year.
End of November was the last time if I remember correctly.
I was going to wash it before Christmas, but the roads were that mucky I didn't bother.

I cover a lot of miles around these rural Lincolnshire roads, the farmer are lifting beet at the moment, you lot can only guess how thick the mud is on the car after 50 mile trip. Plenty like this about,

Looks like a North Devon 'A' road, with less potholes.....

Funny you should say that Dirk, every time we travel out of Lincolnshire we remark on how better the roads are the further we get away from it, I guess you must get the same.
