Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Ooh. We have sunshine. I wonder how long that will last.

Retired a couple of years ago at 66. Did some short bike tours: Jasper to Banff, Banff south along the Great Divide for a few days, 4-day gravel loop with my wife in southern Alberta. Set off in November to drive south from Canada, biked in Moab for a bit, spent three months touring the Baja exploring back roads and Tequila bars. Wife joined me for a few weeks. Back home in time to fly to the UK to visit my mum, drink real beer and cycle NCN4 from my mum's flat in Greenwich to Fishguard. Then a coast2coast from Southport to Hornsea. Back to Canada for the winter working on a project to finish my masters. Then...Covid. Riding locally, more trails than the usual summer tour. Projects for the coming winter but I'd rather be riding in Asia.A thread specially for 'persons of leisure' and independent means, or those with aspirations.
How do you while away those lazy days?
How do you cope financially?
When did you retire?
Is retirement what you expected?
How long did you take to adjust?
Etc.
Tell us what you are up to today or what plans you have.
Or just have a bit of silliness to while away those lazy hours.
I've been busy today. Hilly 15 mile ride in North Devon, took dog for a stroll along Saunton Sands, cut the front lawn, leisurely pub lunch at the Tarka Inn overlooking the estuary, bit of shopping and now going to nap off my lunch. Never a moment spare!

Sure. But I feel fortunate to have my health and not have a job to lose. Not much financial impact from the virus. Luckier than many.
You can watch it live on S4C, the Welsh channel, if like me you don't have Eurosport.

I've always thought we should live life backwards. Have all the time off when you are young and fit to really enjoy it, then work when you're too decrepit to do much!

First one?
Ah yes, as the saying goes "youth is wasted on the young".I've always thought we should live life backwards. Have all the time off when you are young and fit to really enjoy it, then work when you're too decrepit to do much!
When I first retired I was so busy with things I'd always wanted to do and I enjoyed every minute. Not so much on these days but Hoh Hum!

It may be there's someone spotted something that should/n't be there. That or she just wants more blood.Morning all.
Bricking it a bit as the Doc left a message to say she is phoning me to discuss the blood tests. After the last lot she kept asking have I got pains in my stomach or discomfort. After I kept saying no she immediately arranged a 2nd lot of tests......she obviously thinks there is something sinister going on.
On a positive note its not raining. Its supposed to be but the sky is quite blue.
Try not to worry.

I'm sat in the Real Macaw Tearoom at Tropical Birdland in Desford with a coffee and toast, I've got the place to myself.
