The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning again. I managed a very slow 29 miles. I think I've lost most of my cycling fitness with getting out so seldom. Even a bit saddle sore. I need to either get out at least twice a week or just pack it in.

On a happier note we have good telly tonight. Ridley starts on ITV which I'll watch and The Capture is on BBC so I'll need to catch up on that.

Considering its a Bank Holiday, I can't hear any traffic down in the village at all. We live almost half a mile from the village but the sound of traffic travels up here. Its totally silent. That'll do

When I was coming home from my ride the council workers were all congregated across the entrance to the recycling centre on strike. Wondered what on earth was going on from a distance as they had banners out.

Just made 36 mince pies, I wonder how long it will be before cakes and the like become a luxury item in their homes

Seeing my toes is no problem, reaching them is a different story.

I was going to do toad in the hole, but couldn't be arsed, so went for bangers and mash with green beans and onion gravy then I thought a couple of yorkshires would go nice with that

A familiar story at our age.
I can still touch my toes, and at times get my palms flat on the floor, but that is only because I do stretching exercises to try and keep a bit flexible.

Sausage, poached egg and fries

I cooked American style pancakes for breakfast with blueberries, strawberries, sliced banana and drizzled with maple syrup and squirty cream.
For tea tonight it will be salmon, fried with sweet chilli sauce and garlic, with stir fried vegetables.

Go without, or wait for the repeats.
Or, maybe we were our and about and didn't watch the telly so much. Other things to do.
