The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Bonjour. Who is getting the croissants this morning?
Lovely day again here in sunny North Wales. I am going to see my son at lunch time and see if i can use his phone to do my settle status thingy as my is not compatible with the government's site. He is also seriously talking about getting his French passport now so we will look into that as well.
I might go for a ride later on when I get back before the weather starts deteriorating after today I believe.
Does anyone also have problems with missing socks? I bought 6 brand new pairs not long ago and can only find one and half now. Where do they disappear to?

it is a well known fact that the sock fairy comes in the middle of the night to add to her collection.🧚‍♀️

As today is going to be the best day of the week, I will be going for a bimble when it warms up a bit more.

Well that's 8k done and dusted🏃‍♂️I've found a loop that is just over 1k, round the park and a quiet road loop. Birds are singing and another pot of coffee is on the brew. Time to ring the flu jab line, then the dentist 😯

A girl along the road I know and follow on Strava has just had a spin up to the local reservoir and has put a pic up of new tarmac they have put down. Brilliant as it was all potholes and broken up. Must give it a go when the legs are feeling strong. It's a fair pull up.

So tempting! Hope they don't put these horrible chips on top.

The chips would been put down when the tarmac was still warm and then rolled in.

My local path is covered in small twigs and acorns, riding the Brommie along there sounds like a combination of milk being poured into a bowl of Frosties, and bullets ricocheting of the mudguards 🚴‍♀️

Or the 2 Scottish dentists.......
Ben Doon and Phil McAverty.

Got through to the Flu Jab line, earliest appointment Saturday 31st October. Rang the Dentist, they asked a few questions and then said call back in half an hour and we'll check your history and get you sorted. Depending on the next set of X rays it will be either a new filling, root canal work, or an extraction ( rear Molar )
And as always happens, the pain has mysteriously disappeared.

Sat in the cafe at the Garden Centre in Countersthorpe with a coffee and a teacake, its been an interesting ride out, road closure, diversion, an unknown main road and a load of lanes I've never ridden before.
