The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I shall be blummen well wrapped up!

 

[PaulSB]

Today I have mostly done nothing.

1. 9.20 got up
2. 10.00 - 14.00 arsed about, tidied, washing
3. 14.00 - 15.00 back to bed for nap
4. 15.00 - 16.00 drank tea
5. 16.00 - 19.30 I now have 3.5 hours to get all the chores done before Mrs P returns

It was my Tom's 30th Birthday Party last night

I usually play golf against an opponent, but I'm old fashioned like that.

Tried that but always lose. I do much better against my better judgement as I can cheat as often as I like.

Doing a Dirk.

Not long back, did my short loop to Hatton, 52 miles, it was a lovely ride, a tad chilly and the breeze was a bit strong, but it was dry and there wasn't much ice about, and it had cleared by the time I came out the cafe

The sign is a bit cheeky, considering the Canal and River Trust say it's fine to ride on their towpaths, provided one follows their "don't be a twit" code of practice.

Yes it is, but, there's a biggish outside seating area the other side of the cafe from where my bikes parked and it gets a bit busy around the front of the cafe, so its a good idea to use the road. Its a small internal road runs parallel to the towpath, just mind the speed bumps.

It is probably sensible, but that doesn't make the sign any less wrong. Perhaps the pub seating could go on the parallel road instead

The main car parking is down the bottom as you ride/drive in, but theres a small car park by the cafe, staff, deliveries, disabled and a couple of spare spaces, I don't think people would be impressed if you moved the seating onto the road.

Tonight I shall be laying in a ditch in Binley Woods waiting for a SAR dog to find me.

Did you survive?

 

[welsh dragon]

Good morning folks.

 

[Drago]

Yodeleheeee!

 

[Paulus]

Good morning, shortly I shall be out once again with Millie for a couple of hours with a mate of mine and his lurcher called Lewis. His previous dog was called Morse
No doubt coffee and bacon sandwiches will be consumed before we come home .
I have to find a Christmas present for MrsP today so I will be out and about looking. A couple of ales at lunchtime might help the old grey matter to focus.

Off back down the M5 to home today. It usually takes about 3 1/2 hours on a steady run. It's always good to get past the Avonmouth bridge and properly into the West Country.

 

[Slow But Determined]

Just about to pack the car up and return home after a week in the lakes. Will need to get back on my exercise regime, feel bloated after a week of beer and food and no cycling to burn off the calories!!

It stinks down here, the place is a mess and it seems faster to walk than drive. The exhuast fumes are making my nose sore.
