The Retirement Thread

Good morning, a damp and murky morning here, it looks like we'll be driving to the club this afternoon so might try a different cafe for lunch.

Good Morning

Trying hard to wind myself up as I need to leave in 31 minutes to meet the guys for a ride. Still drinking coffee, porridge is nearly ready and I’m not in cycle gear yet. This is going to be a rush - have been up for an hour!!!

Overcast and cool. A bit of a pleasant change. My allotment badly needs rain.

READY!!

Took Mrs P coffee in bed. Apparently my coffee making skills have declined and I quote

“Would you like to put some more milk in and make sure it’s full to the top?”



Off to the garage to get bike......,lips zipped tight shut!!!’

Yarp. Raining, so my morning run is delayed until this afternoon.

You seem to be doing more running than cycling lately.

I've backed up my computer files, now I'm backing up my backup files, computer might be sometime, there are 250 photos in my cycling photo's folder.

Had the acknowledgement of 'receipt of your application form for retirement benefits' from SPPA - now waiting for my ex-employer to notify them of my final years salary

Certainly in terms of time, I probably am.

3am yesterday morning, wakened by a call to my wife's phone.
Arrival of newest grandson was imminent.
Decided to go through with her from Glasgow to the maternity hospital in Edinburgh, my Mrs was going to be there for the event.

Detour to pick up mum to be.
Arrived at hospital at 5.
I left straight away. Several buses later I arrived home at 8.
Ride leader course at Free Wheel North at 9:30.
So the timing was perfect.

Baby was born before I made it home.


Enjoyed the course, a lot.

Congratulations!

Must be terrible having to do things you don't want to like going to the pub.

It can be a chore at times.

My garage says there is another 1000 miles left in my tyres before i need to change them, and they have recommended a cheaper tyre for when they do need doing. Who am i to argue.

Had 2 new tyres fitted to the car this morning.
