The Retirement Thread

Don’t know what Molly has done with her toy she was playing with last night. She really likes it but I can’t find it anywhere. Found a scrunched up paper ball under the furniture so she’s playing with that now. 😺

Good morning folks,
Granddaughter and a schoolfriend are having a joint Birthday party at lunchtime. An hour on the Bouncy Castles at the local leisure centre followed by a party should be chaotic. Adults aren't allowed on the bouncy castles 🤔😁

I presume you would have had a go if allowed?

I'm going to stick with it, just in case is gets better, you never know.
It helps me get to sleep if nothing else.

A bit like real life then?

Think the rain has almost gone and we now have patches of blue sky and sun. I’ll maybe get a walk before lunch.

Just noticed the amount of fruit on the passion flower plant. Not sure what to do with it, I’ve never eaten any. I suppose when it’s finished fruiting I should chop it back, any one have any experience with the plant?

Quick google says, although there’s lots of seeds, it is delicious to eat and you can make jam with it. Not sure about cutting it back though. There’s usually a specific best time of year for fruit trees. Maybe Paul might know when he gets back from his jaunt.

Good morning folks, I've been for an early bimble, out the house about twenty past seven. I've ridden my Birchley Heath loop and covered 25 miles. A lovely morning for a bike ride, bright, sunny, breezy and a touch chilly. Having missed last weeks bimble it was lovely to get out and stretch my legs, out of Coventry through Keresley, up Breach Oak lane, through Ansley then right to do the loop through Birchley Heath then right past Hoar Park the left onto the Tamworth road and into Coventry, rode down the Scotchill, burnaby road and the left onto Holbrook Lane and home. A very pleasent couple of hours on the bike.

Walk eventually done. Just under 5 miles. I had a thin micro fleece jacket on but really didn't need it as it's warm even in the wind.

Nearly sandwich time I suppose. 🐱 gets a small handful of dry food at lunchtime. I ask her if she wants her sweeties and she comes running

25 miles on the bike this morning and 2 hours pushing my Good Lady round town in her wheelchair this afternoon, I'm knackered tonight.
