The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

Up and at em! Another misty start but the the weather will improve. Off out with the kids for brekkie, hours who pays?

Best my best on one of the machines in the gym yesterday by 15 kilo, I would never have thought that at 62 I would be getting stronger, also had to up the pace in the pool as it was getting to easy.

Have a good one everybody, and if you are still asleep you have just missed a chunk of another great day.

Good morning all, better night last night, slept through to five, was woken by my bladder shouting empty me, came down stairs opened the back door and heard an orrible noise, then spotted one of our local squirrels scampering across the gardens, I recon it had been sat on the fence by the door and I startled it, the noise I heard was its claws on the wooden fence as it shot off.

Going to ride up to Wooler Youth Hostel today. Will be about 70 miles by the route I've chosen and I've got all day to do it so there's no rush. Cafe stops at Ponteland and Rothbury. Mebbe have a pint in the Anchor when I get there.
Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow.

Good moaning. Just having a coffee. Will go for a run in a bit, then not sure what I'll do today.

@PaulSB is on the wrong side o'Pennines.

The great thing about being a reformed southerner is after living in York for four years, still a spiritual home, such a wonderful city, and Lancashire for 36/37 I can love them both equally.

Good morning folksl dull and overcast here. We had rain yesterday and to be honest, it was a welcome relief. Another overcast day it seems.

Good morning everyone and thanks for all comments on my retirement.

I feel a bit jaded this morning after going down the pub and having a few sherbets with the people from work(nasty word)but now i'm looking forward to a new life.

3.8 mile run today. Did a lap of the local wind farm and back. Just cooling off then I'll head for the shower.

My son has just rung up and invited me over for a beer......or two.I think i'm beginning to like this retirement lark.

Who would have thought shopping for a t-shirt could take a woman 2 hours, so far. Whilst I managed to 2 socket sets and a music stand all for only £9 in 5 minutes.

Stop whinging for goodness sake.

Gonna be feet up this afternoon, a bit of reading. I'm volunteering to Marshall at the Two Castles run in Warwick tomorrow, cos the organisers pay WarkSAR £50 for each volunteer. That'll be hard work so I'll reserve my strength today
