The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

House tidied, first load of washing on, weights lifted, now relaxing with a Clooney's and an oaty bar.

Morning. Brrrrrr a chilly -2. OK admit it, who has been tempted to peak at the 2 stooges disaster starring Hazza and Megs.

Stay safe folks

Morning all

LIDL shopping in Barnstaple this morning.


Only if her stride is well over 5 feet.

I thought “ that doesn’t feel right “ and divided by two.
In the interests of Science I shall make a note of my existing steps, record a 5k walk on my Garmin and check the new step count. Then we need to work out the difference in leg length.

Nope.......not tempted even for the entertainment value and a bit of a laugh!

Vaccination is being done in Boots, Market Street. They've staff outside who'll be able to keep an eye on the bike. Possibly allowing you to take it inside.

Hebden Bridge seems busier than Halifax at present.

What if you don't own a pair of boots ?? Does that me you can't have it ?
Seems unfair to me.

I have risen!

Monday, so today is wash day.

What......you only have a wash on a Monday

If you live in NI you can have it done in Traynors

Dave my cycling get up go is still on an extended Christmas break , only 6 rides since new year . Weather, Mum in Law needs more help from Mrs JK and I and finally ( this is turning into a winge) my experience with the jab. The side effects lasted over 2 weeks , periods of shivering and feeling extremely cold and abdominal pains which ok may have been a coincidence. After a long and amicable relationship my gall bladder decided to throw all its toys out of the pram .It’s painful and resulted in a total loss of appetite. But every cloud all my Christmas and winter padding went in week .

At the moment my Good Lady is house bound and restricted to downstairs only so I'm restricted as to what I can do, I can't leave her alone to long, I'm also heavily involved in her care. Like you I've only managed half a dozen rides this year so far but I'm hoping things improve and my mojo returns.

Good morning folks, bright and sunny this morning, washings out, my Good lady's carer is here, and I'm doing housework this morning.

[welsh dragon]

Morning all.
Such a strange (short) dream last night. It was as though I was dreaming that I was dreaming (does that make any sense?)
In my dream it was early morning and was getting light.... so I thought "I must get up". Then I looked at the clock and it was only 0300.......looked at the window and it as dark.
I then really woke and it really was 0300.
So weird.
I rely on Classic to explain that one.

Dampish and overcast but breaks of blue out east. A strip of low cloud half way up the Morvern hills but no wind. Smoke from a fire I can see is rising straight up.
Forecast for later in the week is not good and I hope I do not get summoned to Oban for a scan on Thursday as boats will be a bit dodgy due to high winds.
Went out to visit my wildlife pal while he was rotovating his garden before the rain made the soil too wet again. He has a trip to Paisley today starting before the crack of dawn as his wife had a fall and fractured a shoulder. Due to other medical problems she gets sent to a specialist for further evaluation. Terrible place to drive to for a stranger as the direction signs for the hospital are carefully hidden behind bushes.
