The Retirement Thread

Well my cycling buddy broke his elbow in today’s crash. I’m sorry to hear that but also somewhat relieved. If you’re 68 and come off a bike at speed the results can be far worse.

Can you wish your buddy a speedy recovery from me.

....and from me. That's my biggest fear, at 68 you don't bounce well.

@welsh dragon @dave r @GM

I will certainly do that.

As for me well it’s off to Bonny Scotland, Taynuilt in Argyll for a week of fun and feasting. Forecast is not good.

Bljmey, just seen this. Heres for a speedy recovery.

@PaulSB . I hope you have a great time i Scotland. I saw the weather forcast on Countryfile, and ot doesn't look good for that part of ths UK. Still fingers crossed you will enjoy your stay.

Morning chaps. Bright but breezy here at the moment. The summer weather is supposed to be back here this week. Here's hoping.

 

[Dirk]

Off for a 20 mile shopping ride this morning to get a few essentials.
I only use the car about 3 days a week now, sometimes less.

@PaulSB Just saw this. Really sorry for your friend, wish him well. The older we get the more we dread how poorly we'll bounce.

 

[wait4me]

Getting my ears lowered this morning (that' s haircut) then a pm bimble to dream about an England victory tonight.
Hope you all have a good day.

Family get together last night was a success but I noticed MiL surreptitiously feeding the dog at the table. Some of the food was quite piquant and it's had disastrous effects on the dog's digestive system. Won't go into details but just glad to say I wasn't the first one downstairs this morning. Poor old Mrs. jg had to get up for work at six this morning only to be faced with a monumental cleaning task before she could get out of the house.

Still, got to look on the bright side. She won't have been able to face any breakfast and she is trying to lose some weight.

Bit of housework for me then off out on the bike before my latest round of blood tests then watch the footy with son and BiL. It's a hard life innit?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your mate @PaulSB.

Run, showered, Bic'd my head, tidied the house, cleaned the car. Was going to cut the grass but it's spitting with rain. Now collapsed in a heap enjoying a Nespresso.

That story is an excellent reason for me not to have another pet. EVER.

I'm sat in The Badgers Tea Room Brandon with coffee and toast, watching the birds on the bird feeders.

 

[wait4me]

Saw the name Brandon and I was back to the 60s watching speedway. A blast from the past

I am waiting for a delivery. It could be anytime between now and 6 pm. Grrrrr
