The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Had home made chilli last night, it was very dark in colour and very tasty. Mrs Tenkaykev had grated some 100% dark chocolate. Meanwhile today is the 200th parkrun to be held at Upton House, the organisers have asked that people wear bright colours. I’m going to be “ Tangoed “ with Orange shorts, top, trainers and socks

Shorter walk done. It rained for much of it so the new jacket got tested. Love it.

Porridge time now.

There’s more rain due this afternoon, so although I don’t normally watch tv during the day, I might make a start on catching up with The Capture.

Good morning. A shite night both weather and sleep wise. I am very fed up with this. Cold. Windy. Wet. Lit the stove at 7.30ish and promptly forgot about it so I'm now busy trying to rescue it from the embers or else wander up to the woodshed in my dressing gown and slippers for more kindling. Footy this afternoon with Rovers at home. There is Covid at #2 son's house so I have to be very careful collecting him etc. It's going to be a damn cold drive from his house to Ewood with the windows open.

Just had a very nice breakfast of boiled eggs, coffee, toast and marmalade. Scrummy. What else? Well I had expected to do the housework this morning but Mrs P did it yesterday so I'm catching up with stuff instead. Editing some web pages for the U3A - we have a new site using the latest version of Wordpress - it's very good, gathering together all paperwork we need to get in to the States.........hopefully no one will worry about Mrs P being half Ukranian.

The sun is shining and its quite breezy, so a load of washing is outside drying nicely.

I've been for a bimble this morning, my Birchley Heath loop, 25 miles ridden, out early, half eight, lovely morning, bright and sunny with a stiff cool breeze and a low sun that was making a nuisance of itself at times. One of my more lumpy rides and it contains a fair bit of main road but I've hardly touched the bike lately so it was nice to get out and stretch the legs, the bikes now back in full stealth mode, I had a problem a while back with water in the front hub, made it sound like a bag of nails, and I had do a strip clean and regrease, its running lovely now. I enjoyed that, I have to get back in to the habit of riding regularly again.

Bulb are on the ball. They have added the first of 6 payments from October to March to my account. £66.00 has been credited to my account. That'll do.

Watched 2 episodes of The Capture. Gosh it’s good isn’t it, although a bit hard to follow at times with all the techy stuff.
