The Retirement Thread

[petek]

I don't know how I ever found the time to go out to work.
8-hours solid MrsP has had me at it today making about 20-hours graft this week so far with more to come tomorrow.
Retire to the seaside and everybody wants to come for a visit.
That never happened when we lived in Leicester.
House guests here from tomorrow until Monday so I have been on 'spring cleaning' duties.
I bleddy hate that mop.

I had all that last weekend - friends down for a long weekend.
You're right about the moving to the seaside bit.

There are advantages to having no friends!

Houseguests arrived bringing flowers. MrsP giving them a tour of our estate and beach environs.
These two are this year's 'furthest travelled' visitors. They've come from Ascension Island which is far far away.

Blimey that is further than Ingoldmells.

Swimming for me and trip to the gym, followed by an hour in the golf course car park.

Then the worse bit blowing the leaves off and raking a looooooooong gravel driveway. How much would it costs to tarmac 500 square yards of driveway, and does Drago want to pay for it to be done.

Bike ride for me this morning, a ride over to Hatton to meet up with friends for a gossip, a pleasant 53 miles. Tomorrow after the usual shopping in the morning I have a new radiator to fit in the bathroom, the old radiator has rusted badly, and a lot of the paint has or is in the process of lifting off, it should be fun I haven't done one before.

Picking the caravan up tomorrow to give it a quick clean - off to Dartmoor for a week, or so, on Saturday.
Will dig the pub bikes out for our regular fish and chips at the local at lunch time.

I haven’t posted here for a long while. In April I volunteered to step up and become my cycling club’s secretary. Really enjoying the opportunity to give something back to the club by exercising some of my work skills.

60 mile ride planned for this morning followed by a meeting with a spin instructor to discuss club spin sessions.

Swim in an hours time at 7am gym late this afternoon and as much fun as I can make of the rest of the day.

Managed to get a quick cut of the lawns in before we go away tomorrow.
Worked up a bit of a thirst!

Well........they were the last two left in the shop......seemed a shame not to have them!

Well, I was going to take the caravan down to Dartmoor yesterday, but 45mph winds put paid to that. I rang the site owner to put our arrival off for a day, as the weather forecasts showed today as being better.
Is it B@//@€<$!
Looks like it might be backing off to 30mph after 1 o'clock, so we'll make a dash for it then. Hopefully it should be a bit calmer away from the coast.
The forecast actually looks ok for the next week or so.........but we don't believe them, do we?
Still, the site we're on has all facilities and good wifi - should be a nice chill out week; dog walking and pubbing.

Its a beautiful day here, good for a bike ride, but we've got a house full of family so I've had to put my ride back to tomorrow.
