The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I've woken early and decamped to the spare room. Very dark and absolutely hammering with rain. Looks as though today's plan of correcting leaves has gone out the window.

Woodburner, coffee and planning Vietnam trip look more likely. Spin class at tea time.

Looks like it might be a nice day today.

Morning all. Looks like it's going to be a nice day, so a little ride which will include some shopping, load up the panniers and take a hilly route home.

 

[Drago]

Dog walked, damp outside. Just firing up the machine for a hot Clooneys.

Morning troops. Raining all night here. I now have coffee so i am a happy bunny. . Going to be a moist day here i think.

 

[PaulSB]

Well rain has stopped, now clear skies, bright and breezy so leaf blowing** back on.

Have also remembered my summer Cervelo still needs reassembling, polishing and lubing before I tuck her up for the winter. Priority sorted.

** Leaf blowers are, I know, not popular. Mine is battery powered and almost silent. Leaves will be blown under fruit bushes as mulch to break down for longer term nutrients. The remainder blown in to my leaf mould heap.

Sunny day so far but them there clouds are a gathering .
Last Fridays plans to visit the cinema then the pub died. To get there means getting across a junction of the A49 and the traffic was so bad that we turned back.
Warrington is surounded by M6 M56 and M62. If anything kicks off on any of them the A49 becomes the diversion.
So we try again today

Finally got up. Hair cut, shower then breakfast.
Doggie walking on the beach next, then a spot of shopping.
Off to the Blackdown Hills tomorrow for 4 nights - which could easily extend if the weather holds out.

Our son lives in Warrington, when we've been up to visit it's always struck me that the traffic there is a bit bonkers.

What've the leaves done wrong/got wrong?

 

[welsh dragon]

I was thinking of going for a bimble, but the weather is quite crap here, so instead i have stuffed my face with Pizza...

Sun is shining in the sky, there ain't a cloud in sight, it's stopped raining, everybody's in a play, and don't you know it's a beautiful new day, hey hey hey!
