The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

I have put the finished filing cabinets back in the office, now making the choice between brekkie at the large market at Hemswell or a spoons in Lincoln. Either way I am going to enjoy my day and hope you all do the same.

Manky weather here today so it looks like we'll nip into Dartmouth and go on the steam train. Heatwave arrives tomorrow apparently.

Five mile walk along the Chichester canal around the harbour and back, then off to see the oldies.

The weather is going downhill here. . Surprise surprise. Looking very dull, and rain is predicted. Oh well. Another film day by the looks of it.

Morning all. Going to Glasgow later today, shopping and pub and I may pop in to the bike shop

Damned wind has gone back into the East so a downhill ride to the seaside on the tandem today in the expectation that the wind will push us back home.

Dropped into the Salcombe 'Over 60s' club the other day for a coffee. I walked in and got the 'who's this stranger' look from the old biddies sitting around a table. The sign outside said visitors welcome.

So I asked if we could have a coffee. The woman there looked taken aback and asked if I was over 60. LOL.
I told her I was 64 this year and my missus is 62. I thought she was going to ask for ID to prove my age.
Anyway we had 2 nice coffees and a plate of biccies for £2.20.

So here I am with two views of my marshal point - the essential view and the road race. This little climb may not look much but I can promise none of us would want it five times in 115 miles. It’s half mile from the finish and may see the deciding challenge.

Really pleased with my spot to see plenty of action. Ideal location, great view of the race and lots of traffic to stop. FIVE times!!! I’m sure you’re all en route to Chorley so come and find me

I always feel a bit miffed when buying booze in ASDA and they don’t ask to see my ID to prove I am over 25!

........and Sir Bradley just dropped by with coffee ☕️

Change of plan today, it seems that there is some football match on in Glasgow today and the pubs will be full of fans, I think I will forego the pub

We bought a smart meter to see just how mucb electricity we are using. You need to have a degree in maths to be able to work out your bill . According to Scottish power we are high users.. I think we must be paying for someone else's power as well as ours. It's amazing just how quickly you can become obsessed with turning everything off, just so that you can see how many watts you can save.

I think it was the Daily Fail who took an N Power bill to a professor of mathematics at some university or other, and he couldn't fathom it.
