The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

No Mo yet, I bet she is out early and did not want to wake the rest of us up.

Correct! 32 mile early bimble done and just finished brekkie.

Morning all. I am feeling a little jaded this morning, maybe the wine was off or maybe I just drank too much of it last night. Lol
Plan for the day , finish my cup of tea in bed. Make coffee and toast, then think about going for 25 miles bimble with the wife. She wants call in and check on her mum and dad and go down the sailing to check on her boat. TBH I am not sure who she loves most , I do know that I am third on the list though 😂😂😂

@oldwheels ....going over things in my mind.
If you could pick one single dive as your favourite....what would it be.
Mine was somewhere south of Sharm when myself and a mate got dropped off for a drift dive. There was absolutely no one else there.
We dropped to 30 metres and slowly drifted up. It lasted one hour and it felt like we were the only people in the world.
Sent our marker bouy up and the guy collected us. Wonderful memory.

That is a bit difficult as there were so many good dives. Wonderful cliff dive at the north end of Calve Island but also out in the middle of the Sound near the New Rocks buoy with lots of pinnacles and sandy bits. Drift dive off Coll among shoals of fish and for excitement flying with arms outstretched down the Falls of Lora dodging round rocks on the way. Even night dives collecting souvenirs just off the Mishnish pier. The torch light picks out things not seen in daylight. Too many to pick out one alone.
As an aside I trust you did not pick up scallops near any moorings as that is a storage area for small ones and to put it mildly can lead to nasty and sometimes violent repercussions.

Morning all fellow retirees.
The sun is shining and the temperature is rising.
Had an email from the water company telling me that they are reducing the pressure slightly because of the lack of rain in the past two months.
Not a lot going on today, dog walking as normal but I will stay clear of most places because of the bank holiday Monday trippers.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning all. Standard procedures for me this morning. Window gazing and forecast indicate a good day for riding, so with no more ado, I'm off. byeeeee.

Me too. I am so angry with the attitude of Cummings, Boris and the like.

Yep me too, I'm just glad I didn't vote for them!

I think this could well do some serious harm with people thinking "If they can break the rules, why am I bothering"

Thinking of getting one of these T-Shirts...

I'm not party to the full facts of the case.
Everyone seems to have their own agenda.
The only information available is either contrived or controlled by the MSM.
On that basis I'll reserve judgement until I'm convinced one way or the other.
On the other hand - I just can't be arsed with all the petty political point scoring.

I've reported on the Covid-19 app - three new questions today.......life is just so exciting........ I feel physically normal.

Ooo, new questions! I shall look forward to answering those later.

Have just listened to another episode of Al Humphreys' Living Adventurously podcast. He was interviewing three of the four women (self-identified, middle-aged mums), who rowed/raced across the Atlantic a coupla years ago.

He's interviewing 'adventurous' Yorkshire folk as he cycles around the county and what an eclectic and fascinating bunch they are.

Enjoying a drinkypoos the a BBQ beckons.
