The Retirement Thread

That was a colder walk than I was expecting. It's currently around 3 degrees but a nice clear sky so hopefully warm up a bit later.

I have a bowl of porridge sitting beside me cooling down enough not to burn my gob

For some reason
I thought today was Saturday. Clearly I was having a senior moment

I haven't heard the term 'Pop ' for many years.

I've always called bottled fizzy drinks 'pop'.

Oh! Just realised..........
Yay! It's Fish Friday

However, I shall be having one of MrsD's homemade pasties and a pint, or two, at the Dirk Arms.

Good morning world. It's a glorious morning here in Lancashire - and why wouldn't it be I hear you ask.

I have made coffee I forgot to boil the water

Next door are having a new porch built. We are at the "turn the radio on at full volume and knock down the old one" stage.

No ride today as I turned down an invite yesterday. I felt nackered. Good decision despite the weather as recovery is important.

Off to the LBS shortly with my Cervelo to check set up on this one to transfer across to the Genesis. They had some new Genesis frames delivered yesterday. I may change my colour choice.

Allotment and a walk with Mrs P later.

Quick check of the local news. Chorley is back up to 1988 cases, a rise of 639. From what I hear a great friend may have to test and I fear the worst on this.

Just ordered more fish oil supplement then raked to the back of the cupboard to find I already have some more. Oh well, not to worry. Also found another bottle of turmeric so ok for that too for a while. Not sure they make a blind bit of difference anyway.

Bonjour. Just got up to a lovely sunny morning. I should go for a ride really but Garmin says I need 72 hours recovery after yesterday's ride. Apart from walking Molly, nothing special planned for today. Our lockdown finishes next Monday so I might be able to go and see my son and daughter next week as they both live in Wales, 10 and 35 miles away respectively.
Stay safe every one.

I decided to do an Aldi dash. Didn't need much but it woke me up and was a tiny bit of exercise.
Got back to find MrsD up and around. She is threatening to try some exercise which is good. We may get a walk in later this morning...... I will send my report in

 

[Dave7]

A gin question for you.
I put this on the 'food and drink' section but I know there are gin drinkers on here.
On impulse I bought a bottle of Spice Apple & Ginger gin.
Q. What do I mix it with ?
Q. Anyone ever tried it ?

It sounds like a war zone here tonight, at what point do fireworks start to qualify as military ordinance?

When my step son and his wife were returning to America they had a box of Xmas crackers in their luggage they had them removed as they were described as an explosive.

Dave........relating to your lack of appetite......did you ever try the Floradix liquid? I find it increases my appetite.........usually when I don't want it to!
