This retirement is costly, just sat at the computor with a cuppa and booked a holiday in 4 weeks time.

You'll have to do a bit more 'voluntary' work to pay for it.....

Nah! holiday pot pays for that.

Dressed and ready for action off on the mtb for an hour around the forest, see you all later.

Going to look at new caravans today.
Thinking of changing ours, possibly next year and I want to get a feel for what might be on the market.
Quite like the look of the Bailey Pursuit 430/4.

Last week I did one day's paid work, and my payslip arrived today. The have paid me for one day's work, and also one day of holiday pay!

(To be fair, I worked over the winter at this same job, so I might have "nearly" accrued entitlement to a day of holiday pay, and working one extra day last week may have tipped it over the edge and into payment).

Anyway, that's a few extra pounds into the new guitar fund.....

Nice swim in a warm open air pool, just done some voluntary and out for a ride this afternoon.

Going for a short ride this morning to see how I feel after having the Flu.
Tried a ride last Wednesday, but it was too much too soon.
If we get on OK today, then we will take the bikes away with us to Dorset next week, otherwise they stay in the garage and we'll just chill out in the van.

Shoulder really acting up today, do a bit of light reading and maybe watch the F1 quali.

Oops! Forgot F1 was on today. Might have to rearrange my schedule a bit.

We have something in common, a painful shoulder.

Just brought the caravan back from the compound and it's now sitting outside my bungalow, ready for a full clean and systems check, prior to our week in Dorset.

What with the weather forecast being a bit iffy and the fact that we are both still getting over the flu, we've decided to leave the bikes at home and have a week chillin'.
