The Retirement Thread

Wild out there now. Very gusty along with heavy rain.

The high winds mean the electricity prices are dropping to as low as 1.5p per kWh for some periods overnight.

Watching a Ryanair flight from Alicante* overlying Leeds/Bradford for the third time.
Scheduled to have landed at 22:00, now going round for a fourth time.

The Ryanair flight from krackow is going round.
Think its safe to say they'll be landing there tonight.

*Now given up trying to land. Krackow flight on third attempt.

Morning. The worst of the storm seems to be over but still wet and windy. Not sure if I’ll be venturing out or not. Might hop on the Wattbike and do a gentle zone 2 heart rate spin before breakfast.

Good morning, still a bit blowy. Gutter cleaning man is due at 09:00, a trip to the charity shop to drop off a pair of curtains and a few other items. I will be popping round to visit a friend who will be 75 today, we worked together for about 35 years.
Mrs Tkk has the dentist this afternoon which could be expensive 🤞

Good morning all.
Feeling much better today, my body seems to have stopped shaking though I am still weak.
So.......last night's dream was really weird. I was in Southern Spain and stood at a bus stop. The bus arrived and I 'woke up'......annoyed because I didn't know where I was going to. Got back to sleep but hours later it still bugged me that I didn't know where I was planning to go.

Good morning all.
The worst of the wind and rain has gone, but its still a bit blowy.
MrsP is off to an exhibition in South Kensington with a couple of friends.
I'll drop her off at the station and then stop at the local shops for a few essentials.
I'll probably have a session on the turbo later on.

Morning all

It's calmed down considerably this morning.
I'll have a walk around the ranch after breakfast, to see if there's any damage. My only concern is my second greenhouse, which I can't see from the house.

Coooooeeee. Well that was a bit wild and woolly wasn't it. Some garden furniture decided to wander off on their own but apart from that all is well


Stay safe peeps

Well - I'm up

Big day today - we are off to Manchester to see Hamilton
it was part of my Christmas present from my wife
I am a History fanatic and have a degree in the subject
Oh - hang on - that's her - I didn;t even know what it was about - still - sound good and we are staying overnight

getting the train there so we don't have to drive and park and all that
tickets all booked and all that

just hoping the trains are running given the weather!

Having proofread Mrs Tkk's dissertation I am pretty clued up about the Cholera outbreaks around Gateshead in the 1850's.
Just waiting for a relevant question to come up in a pub quiz...

Gentle 16 miles done on the Wattbike keeping the heart rate down.

Here's me going up a 5% gradient.

The start of a new journey, to parts or places unknown...
Maybe you'll be doing the Lidl Lunge from now on, not the Aldi Dash?

Did you recognise anything?
