The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Quiet day today. Mrs Dave seemed to have "caught" the lurgy yesterday. Feeling week & shaky etc. Seems I am coming down with it now.
So chill out in conservatory.
Macaroni cheese with sausage for tea.
Bum bone still VERY sore after last Fridays incident so cant walk far and definitely cant sit on the bike.

Oh blimey, the company I emailed about their driver on his mobile phone, they're going to sack him!

Very wet and windy. Outdoor plans on hold for today. Hopefully after a brew I can get back to sleep.

Dark and windy out there, bathroom renovation starts today.

Very calm here, but very very wet. It has been raining all night.

 

[Drago]

Moist here and quiet blustery.

I've ducked out of my ride with the illustrious @PeteXXX. Getting damp doesn't worry me, but slithering off and landing on my titanium bits does. I'll do a bit of bike fleet maintenance today instead.

Early night, as I'm away on a first responders course from tomorrow for Lowland Rescue. This kills 2 birds for me, as it not only advances my 1st aid skills for LR purposes, but my 1st aid was about to expire and I would have had to pay to renew it to continue MTB training, so it's a good investment in time all round.

Well did get back to sleep. It is though still hissing down and windy in the village - we're quite sheltered so this means it's actually blowing a gale.

Seems a good day for a skip run, list some things on eBay and continue investigating swapping away from BT Internet.

Yesterday our neighbour informed me our gutter in her backyard - kitchen extension on terraced cottage - is blocked. First break in the rain and I'll have to fix that.

Chest and back day today. I'm away for 3 days from tomorrow, so will be doing a fistful of bodyweight leg work.

Well I picked that right! Originally I was riding today, but after seeing todays forecast I rode yesterday, this morning its murky and blowing a hoolie, though its not rained yet.

Morning all, a dull and windy day here in Barnet. I have some domestics to do this morning and then this afternoon I am off to my Union branch meeting. I have joined the retired section so I can still go along and take part in the discussions, but I can't vote. Still, it is an excuse for a beer or three though.

 

[Drago]

I've rescheduled with PeteXXX for a ride on Sunday morning, whence we shall ride to church. Several churches in fact, and we will bag their OS benchmarks.
