The Retirement Thread

[jongooligan]

Exercising at home.........any of the other oldies do this ??
I do it but find it hard to get inspired/fired up for it. But I also dislike winter cycling in the cold & wet....yeuk. not cycled properly since November..

I'd rather get the bike out and go for a ride, though I do have a turbo, but don't use it very often.

Same as @dave r. I'd rather be outside. About the only thing that puts me off is ice. It takes a long time to recover from a broken collar bone at our age.

We're very lucky though as we can now pick our days to go cycling. It's not like when we were at work and had to fit it around that so I look at the weather forecast for the week, pick the best days for cycling and leave the worst days for other stuff. It's surprising how many good days we get in winter. (Still wish I was in Mallorca though).

Personal experience says sit over the bath.

But not while his wife is in it

Had a nice 24 miles with the boys. Roads were filthy but the sun was out. Was a bit overdressed as it warmed up quite a lot while we were out. got home cleaned the bike. had a shower. washed the kitchen floor. now sitting in the pub with a beer. happy days.

Back home after our new caravan try out. All went well and cooking good for this year.
Dropped the new van back into storage and brought the old van back home to give it a good clean. Got a couple of people coming to look at it this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Got back in time to walk down the village, grab a couple of pints and FnC.

Where does that information come from?

Which bit . The relay info is from taking one apart and a knowledge of electronic and electrical engineering . variable pricing is currently under consultation in the industry . Yes I work in that industry

That's a rather impolite question to ask a lady.

Did someone mention lady?

 

[172traindriver]

Nice and early then

 

[172traindriver]

I'm afraid not. Dam.

Fancy him asking you something like that

When I took it apart I was a little taken aback too.

It’s been mooted for many years , driven by the generation companies ( not the staff) . But meter operators/ electricity providers are getting more interested .

The 2nd Gen meters are quite controllable remotely.

Energy prices......................................depressing evening. Time to put the telly on

We've just switched to Bulb, seemed to be popular with a lot of CC'ers on here. Looks like I could save a bit, enough to buy a new bike!
