The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

The house is clean. Tea is in the slow cooker - vegetable and bean ghoulash. Bike is clean, dried down with a leather and now stood in the bathroom. I need the chain and cassette to dry properly before lubing. I'll polish her this evening as well.

Mrs Paul must be a very tolerant . I allowed to bring a wheel into the kitchen to change a tyre but a whole bike I value the shape of head Don’t think saucepan indentation would enhance my mature good 😊 looks🤪🤪🤪

Oh, this is a very, very rare event. The bike is sparkling clean so just needed to dry thoroughly before lube and polish.

Ebiker lives in Widnes

You think he knows how close I may have been for a few years now?
Will he worry about it, somehow I doubt it.

Have you seen the price of decent saucepans these days!
She'd never use one of those.

Morning all

Up with the larks again!
Tip run this morning and then some more unpacking to do.
Yesterday, I assembled a king size bed for our bedroom (currently using #1 guest bedroom). We should move into our 'proper' bedroom this weekend.
I rearranged the position of the house numbers, as delivery guys keep coming to the wrong door. New system seems less confusing to them.

Morning all.
Well the Doc turned up yesterday (accompanied by 2 trainee Docs).
Upshot is she is referring me to something called The Frailty Clinic with the aim of working out why my legs have gone so bad in 3 years .....and to see if anything can be done.
As said previously 3 years too late imo but we live in hope.

Good morning folks, I've got myself a new box of tricks, spent most of last night installing an operating system, xubuntu 22.04 and swapping my files over. Eye test this afternoon.

Morning all.
It's raining, just to make a change.
Harry, the big tabby has been busy again overnight. He left another big rat in the kitchen for us this morning. He is now sleeping the day away.
I'm going swimming later this morning at the pool. The first day of the new flexibility regime. I have also been doing stretching exercises on the front room carpet. There are various clicks coming from by back and neck whilst doing the stretches, plus my muscles are quite tight also. I'm a mess at the moment.

Still not recovered from this poxy ear infection, still just slightly wobbly and disoriented so yet another day without a bike ride.
