The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

I fell asleep yesterday evening. Woke up at 4 still wearing my tracky bottoms and socks. Managed to doze off but got up at 05.30.
So......forecast for today WAS heavy rain with thunder and lightning. This morning it has changed to occasional light rain.........how can they get it so wrong in 12 hours?

Got it wrong yesterday ,forecast rain for 2 PM No rain all day Can’t complain Mrs P got the new gate painted and I annihilated a few weeds.

Forecast for today light winds and gentle showers Along with a yellow weather warning. Now where did I put that seaweed.

Just been back to bed. Only 45 minutes but blimey I slept so heavy with vivid dreams..... you know the ones that seem so real.
1st one, Sue was with me. It upset me to wake up and find that she wasn't.
2nd one makes little sense. I was sat on the chair and the daughters little dog was on my lap. It's a nice dog but not enough to dream about.
Anyway, glad I had the kip as I was flagging.
About to have breckie of waffle, suasage and fried egg.

Still raining here so I jumped on the Wattbike and headed over to France for a spin.

The sun is shining now. Give it 10 minutes and it will be hissing down no doubt

Probably bangers and mash today

We've had some heavy showers, and then followed by warm sunshine, and then repeat. It is persisting down at the moment.
I've bought myself a nice thick ribeye steak which I shall have with a jacket potato and salad.
I purchased MrsP Sea Bass fillets as she is not really a red meat eater, she'll have salad with those.

I'm now in Larndon.

Both of those sound nice to me.

The sunshine and showers?

I did not buy a new bike, nothing took my fancy. I am going to go to the Ribble shop in the next few weeks, that may be a different result.

I was talking to my brother today. In Birmingham they have had lightning, thunder, rain and Hail ( not all at once though)

That reminded me of one of the songs that were sung on the terraces at St Andrews:
🎶 Rain, hail, sleet or snow,
Family tradition says I have to go,
It's in my blood so I don't care,
If the blues are playing I'll be there 🎶

Daughter is home from University so we had a lovely family walk this afternoon in Wytham Woods, just missed the rain.

Family roast dinner later.

I have made a decision that tomorrow I am going to get my cycling gear on and go for a longish 50 miler. It has to be done. I've been slacking for quite a while now. I have to get my fitness back up to a reasonable level.

Dug out " Graham " my posh Brommie and gave it a thorough going over, even using some of those furniture polishing disposable cloths on the paintwork. Took it out for a spin and decided to cut things short as my knee started complaining. I headed down the trailway and it was far muddier than I expected. Needs a good cleaning...
