The Retirement Thread

You tickle your fancy with them, and still put them in! Do you tell those who'll be be eating it before or after they've started eating?

Nahh.......once they are heated up no one will know.

I've been for a little ride it was a mystery ride “Garmin round trip”, never used it before just put in 8 miles and it did the rest.....after 3 miles and one hiccup and a U-turn it took me through an estate with speed humps......not good on a trike after a big breakfast a mile down the road I was back on familiar ground and heading for home all in all it was quite good.
I suppose only one complaint the screen is a bit small for a trike, on a bike your looking over it, on a trike I'm sat at least two feet away....either that or my eye sight ain't no good.

I have been helping Mrs G in the garden this morning ( I hate gardening) and if I have enough energy left I am hoping to go for a ride later on.
The weather is dull and cloudy today but perfect for a ride.

My Garmin has that option too but still to give it a try. Can’t really think of any local routes it could give me that I haven’t done. I can barely see my gadgets without specs these days!

You just never let on what your secret ingredient is?

Mother's little helper..."What a drag it is getting old" is often in my mind these days.
Smoky today with an orange sun like a giant Salmon egg. Still will get out today for a jaunt on the Brompton. I've been putting off the grocery store but I should go this afternoon. That is a plus for being geriatric...weekday shopping with the whippersnappers at work. Kids going back to school today.
Be well and safe.

Its cooked and simmered now. Blowing my own trumpet but it does taste very nice.
Tomorrow I will put it with layers of lasagne and sauce etc......all ready for lunch

Not sure what a salmon egg is but assume its something nice.

Ive only been riding a couple of months and today im 40yrs younger ,,,,I'll explain, i was returning from my ride and thought i would go and have a sit by the sea...so quick left turn and whizzed under the railway tunnel towards the sea. Nothing dangerous but quite enjoy how nimble a cycle is for turning...anyhow other side of the tunnel an old guy wagged his finger at me as if i was a teenage miscreant hee hee at no point was i a hazard to anyone but the old timer thought he would show his displeasure at my joie de vivre.....he was probably 15yrs older than me but i felt like a teenager!

Morning folks Pleasantly cool here this morning, midges are having a party though... Have been musing about my favourite Stones tracks, think i liked the 'darker' ones best like 'Gimme shelter' Paint it black' Sister Morphine' and 2000 light years from home.....that'll probably be singing in my head if get a head wind on the way home today. I used to be a big fan of Iggy and the Stooges and can still appreciate an occasional 'blast from the past' especially when driving somewhere.

Another vote here for Paint it Black 😍
And Play With Fire too, always think of it whenever some property programme mentions St Johns Wood

Not long back from a mtb loop of the Pentlands with Mrs F, 32 miles mostly offroad, taking in Penicuik House then back via the Red Road, Green Cleugh, and Black Springs. But colours today mostly grey, purple and green

I always think of the song 'Respectable' when some MP or 'royal' SOB is putting it where they shouldnt or doing every vice under the sun...
Well now we're respected in society
We don't worry about the things that we used to be
We're talking heroin with the president
Well it's a problem, sir, but it can't be bent
Uh yes!

Sun has finally made it through here. Another walk done so about 11 miles for the day.

I’ll catch up on the first episode of Vigil tonight before the second one comes on at 9.

Daft cat must have eaten her tea too quickly. She’s just puked it back up. Luckily on the windowsill and not the carpet.

I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes I do............

Trying to rain here, for now.
