The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Ok ride done and am still alive .
Took it slow and only did 12 miles ( back in the day my commute to work was nearly that long 😂 ), but still I have to start somewhere.
Great to be back on the bike and legs don’t feel to bad. I must start going out once or twice a week every week . Once I start doing that, then I will treat myself to that bacon batch 😀😀.

I even took my best bike out . I feel sorry for it really , it really deserves a better owner than me.😂

Good afternoon all.
I got a bit carried away today and cleaned the the outside of the windows. They hadn't been done for a while, and it showed.
Then, as it quite a warm day, we bathed the dog, she was getting a bit smelly. She regularly goes in the local brook, which is clean, but she needed it.
Now watching the end of today's stage of the Tour, and drinking tea.
I have been awarded a trophy for 15 years in the Forum. 🏆

I've had a sausage sandwich for lunch.

What is this "sausage sandwich" thing you speak of ???
Sarnie ?? Butty ??

Hello folks, I’ve just wandered around to the post office, it’s scorching out there☀️☀️☀️ Had an email from the council warning about the hot weather due this weekend. They’re putting on extra beach patrols and lifeguards. I’ll be heading inland and away from the crowds.
I’ve noticed several of the regulars here have also been posting in the “ Mundane News “ forum, it’s quite refreshing mixing with the youngsters, now where did I put my “ Alma Cogan’s greatest hits “ album…

I’m actually too young to be an Alma Cogan aficionado- honest!
The reason her name pops into my head is because of a friend I used to drink / go to clubs with. Anytime the DJ or Band asked if the audience had any requests, he’d shout out “ Got any Alma Cogan? “ 😀

I believe you.

I would not call them a sarnie or butty either, but I was brought up “proper like” and from the south.
