The Retirement Thread

You do know it is Tuesday today, I thought shopping day was Friday for pensioners.

Do be quiet you. . Mr WD wants to do the shopping today. I on the other hand do not.

Morning all.Lazy Sunday for me

Off for a ride into Barnstaple this morning to get a bit of shopping. Will most likely be doing the Grockle slalom on the way back.

I must say that Hagen Das do a very moreish salted caramel ice cream. I might treat myself if we do go shopping.

Good morning, son and granddaughter are here this morning, I might be doing some odd jobs outside later, and then I'm watching the F1 race.

Nursing a hangover this morning, was out with mate and his wife last night, I have known him for fifty years and he is still in training for the all England drinking team and keen to train any new recruits.

My Good Ladies big doll got brought downstairs this morning, our Granddaughter still isn't keen on it.

Just back from shopping. Beautiful day here, perfect for getting out on my bike, but i have to pick one of my grandchildren up from work so no can do.

20+ miles on the tandem today. First outing for it this year. It's amazing how it turns motorist's scowls to smiles and we never get close passes when we're riding the tandem.
Quote of the day, 'Eee look fatha, a doubla!', said in a broad geordie accent.

Phew!! Over to Settle today with the club. 85 miles, 4760 feet, average 15.3. Got the summer bike out and feeling very happy to be back on her. Kept up well, even on the 25mph stretches when others were calling “knock one off!”

Lots of incidents. In the middle of nowhere encountered farmer on buggy type vehicle. Clearly angry he drove at some of our guys, clipping and smashing a rear mech - that’s close!! Another rider had a rear mech failure which flew in to his wheel. Messy.

In the cafe a lady thought we were too noisy. She said she understood the Adrenalin was flowing etc. but we should be more considerate. That’s the short version. It was quite an interesting situation. We were 15 men aged 30ish to 71 none of whom would dream of bad behaviour.

One of the joys of being Club Sec is you have to go in to full scale diplomacy mode while enjoying beans on brown with poached egg followed by flapjack.
