The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good Morning All. I have breakfasted like a king on porridge done in the microwave with raisins and stewed apple.
I’m now a few hundred pages into my reading of Labyrinth and am very much hooked.

When we visited Portugal I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

I love fortified wines. When we visited Madiera I had the same thought, and with cake too !

I misread that and thought that you’d got a consignment of Lard arriving by train...

Lard it’s the secret chain lube all experienced winter fixed wheel riders use. Thanks a lot Dave r for letting the secret out.

approximatley 35 years ago, I was living in a Spanish town ( La Linea) at the Border with Gibraltar. Most evenings were spent in a small bar, which served only Sherry. I got to acquire quite a taste for it.

Morning all

Hitching up in a couple of hours and towing down to Okehampton.
I've a feeling that we may end up in tier 4 on Boxing Day, so we might end up locked down on Dartmoor. I can think of worse things.

It may be chucking it down but I’m battling up the Kirkstone Pass in glorious sunshine ☀️

Dozing failed. Blame @Drago and his damn farts.......7.6 on the Richter scale measured locally. Radio Lancashire reporting live from the scene.

So morning stretches completed. Porridge eaten. Starting to feel pretty damn good. Odds and sods to do and then out to the shops to pick up the solitary turnip I expect to find!!!!

Behave please........or I'll tell Father Christmas and you all know what that would mean 👎👎

First of many to come I expect, not good.

Just over a mile swim done and it was better than Monday's swim, so hopefully on the mend. Very grey, very wet and horrible here, I intend to spend the day sorting out the 22 drawers in my office.
