The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Quite a bit colder again with the chance of a shower. It’s no doubt waiting for me to go out!

Would that be anything like an old fogies thread?

It might

Coooooeeee. 6 deg and lots more rain overnight for us. I'm getting a tad sick of it now.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Lot of hedgehog activity on our verandah last night. Three different ones at various times.
I've got to fix our cooker door this morning; should be an easy fix and will save me at least 100 quid.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

 

[Dave7]

Maybe we should request photos????

or maybe not

you ask

Don't get me to take the blame.
Mo, if you do post photos I promise not to look
More than once
Every minute

It's finely stopped raining.
No results as yet, but no news is good news so they say
Put the car in for it's MOT, it passed, but with £500 worth of advisories, that will be done on the 1st March
garage mechanic said "the last MOT was not done properly" still it will be all good when he is finished.
I got a months ban from Cycling UK for derogatory comments to our "new commers" to our country.
Looks like we don't have "free speech" anymore, still I have the YACF to post and I have a large following on Twitter or X as it is called now.
I had corned dog sandwiches today as I couldn't be arsed to cook, may have another one before bed time.

Corned dog with ??.
Pickled onion?
Beetroot ?

Morning all.
Exciting day.....BLUE BIN DAY
Virgin coming today to install the extra box.
Little else to do.
A question........
Does anyone find that some threads disappear only to be found in "ignored" section. Today it was our Retirement thread!! I am sure I didn't tap the ignore button.

Morning folks glad that we're heading towards spring and frequent good riding days- though i expect winter will come back on stage now and again. Reckon there must be salmon coming up the river as a couple of days ago there was an otter in the river one side of the bridge [in town] and a seal the other, reports of dolphins at the river mouth too.
Have been browsing for my future ideal bike...one that ticks all the boxes and floats my particular boat £4000 ahem but i love it already so's thats what i'll do!

May I ask where (roughly) do you live ?
We get Salmon but only around October as they make their way up the Mersey to spawn.

Hi Dave7 im in Brora. when salmon run is a mystery to me as it seems like around autumn is peak for most rivers but also varies a lot. There wouldnt be predators around without fish so it must be salmon...?, it wouldnt be sea trout as when i used to fish i would only start catching in late spring

I thought she was in her pyjamas??

I do wonder what people wear on indoor bikes - do they bother getting dressed up in lycra or just ride in whatever

At the local supermarket near me, it is not unusual to see women actually doing their shopping, wearing PJs. Similarly, if you are unfortunate enough to be near the school gates of the local primary school, not unusual to see a few women still wearing their PJs while delivering their offspring off.

Riverside trail done. It stayed dry and looks like we might have a few dry, but cold days to come. Glad I turned the heating up a bit.
