The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

A glorious morning here with a similar forecast till Saturday. Quite a busy week ahead with car service, dental hospital and podiatry.

My wife is signing me in this afternoon at the local David Lloyd to use the outdoor pool. I’m going to look ridiculous having SCS (silly cyclist suntan) and have lost a considerable amount of weight since I last wore my swimming shorts.

Did I catch a glimpse of you?

I'll be going for a run once Mrs D and Mini D are out the door. Meanwhile, Louise Minchin is on telly.

I'm feeling old today, it's my oldest sons birthday today and he's 46. My god where did the years go

It was my sons birthday last week. He is 45. I have no idea how that happened so fast.

Good morning folks. A sunny, but chilly start to the day. Shopping day for me today.

Up and coffee now waiting on contractors to arrive sent by developer to sort out some damp issues in my house. It's not all sun, sea and coffee con leche.

You get contractors in to refit your catheter?

Wall to wall sun here. Plan is to get the train to Berwick on Tweed, ride back along the Northumberland coast to the Shields ferry, cross the Tyne then ride down to Sunderland and come home up the C2C path.
Last ferry is at 8pm and it doesn't get dark until 10pm so should be able to have a leisurely ride.

Do you watch tv that early in the morning?

 

[Drago]

Only when Louise Minchin is on.

Know what you mean.
Quite often I'll hear a tune I like on the radio. After a while I'll think - 'Blimey! That's over 50 odd years old!'. A lot of 60s music is still very popular.

Morning people, another bright and breezy day and I'm off for a bike ride in a bit, but I will need to remember to keep pedalling, I'm on my fixed this morning.

I'm sat in the Hatton Locks cafe with coffee and toast, my original coffee stop, Stratford Armouries in Snitterfield was closed.

Just got back from a sunny, hilly, 20 mile ride over the top to Georgeham and Croyde and back along the coast and the marshes.
Spot of lunch, then I'm cutting the lawns before taking the doggie for a walk down the village.

 

[Drago]

Shed painted, garden tidied, lunch eaten, now flicking through the Sky movie channels.

I got back a short time ago having done an enjoyable and slightly lumpy 53 miles in the sun

Such a nice day, I took the doggie to the beach instead.
Walking down to village later.
