The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Afternoon all, now nicely ensconsed in a rather fabulous holiday cottage 2 miles out of Muir of Ord. We had a clear run up the A9 this morning, damp leaving Edinburgh, brightened up near Aviemore, then plunged into murk near Inverness which stayed with us after that. The Tay and the Earn were both very high.
Been for a wander in the local woods this afternoon, all very scenic. Loads of red kites about in the fields and over the cottage.

Is it time to go to bed yet as I feel so

Just get a blanket, put Boris on the telly and you'll be in the land of nod before you know it.


There may be nightmares if you follow this advice, but is may be worth it

MrsF knows it quite well too, her brother used to be the minister at Urray Kirk, a few hundred yards from where we are staying. Walked passed it this afternoon, very Outlander looking.

Morning all.

Hello persons of leisure. Still dark out but the glimmer of light suggests clear sky and a breeze. The forecast is decent.

Out with friends this morning for what I hope will be an easy ride. I took a real hammering on yesterday's ride.

Our rides will begin to shorten soon. People are chatting about it already. I've decided to slightly lengthen my route to the meet point by 4 miles and 400 feet. Plan is to do this in both directions mainly to add winter climbing and coupled with the winter bike should help. Need to leave early today.

Nothing else to do after this.

A very dark good morning to each and everyone.
A dreadful night. I had this reocurring nightmare that Liverpool got trounced 7:2 by Villa. Strange the tricks your mind can play .
Off to Aldi 0745 for the aunty's shopping.
MrsD will make a phone call at 0900 which might result in me giving her and the aunty a lift to the hospital..........parking is so difficult and at 95 the aunty needs help walking so it means I can drop them off then go and find a side street to wait in.

So many exciting things to look forward to

Good morning everybody.

Morning. Crap night's sleep. Even worse than normal. I could hear the rain during the night. Think it will be a day of bright spells mixed with showers. I don't feel like doing much anyway.
