The Retirement Thread

I replied "you'd be wearing leather shorts, playing in an oom-pa band, and eating sausage for breakfast."

Sounds like our house ..........

A nice 28 miles around the capital and found a very apt bit of street art. Time for a little snooze now

I've been above and beyond the call of duty this afternoon, I've accompanied my Good Lady round Primark.

Mrs D is doing some studying for her degree. So, I'm being a good boy by staying out of her way. Watched the great escape, now watch g wheeler dealers.

 

[Dirk]

Got itchy feet again.
Just booked a week away in the caravan from next Wednesday, at a nice CL site recommended by some friends near Honiton.
We seem to get twitchy if we don't have at least one week a month away in the van.

That should be on the "uncle Drago" thread as I think you need help

Delivered Mrs P to Manchester at 7.30am for her day trip to London. Watching tennis.

Shortcut on the club route to catch the lads but was ahead so met up in the cafe. It peed down. We got filthy

Very proud our group, all in club kit, were the first to stand and begin two minutes silence in the cafe. ALL the cyclists in the cafe, perhaps 20, stood. Everyone else stopped talking and stayed sat down. We got a few glances.

What is it with people??

Summer bike stripped, degreased, washed, dried. Will lube and polish tomorrow. She's only coming out on bone dry days now till spring.

Housework next. I can't sit down with a beer as I've to collect Mrs P from Manchester later.

A good day.

Well, I said earlier that I intended to go for a ride after our lunch out. Sadly it didn't happen as we got back to close to the sun going down. The last ride I had was October 28th!! I really need another one but by the time I get back from school, it is too late and week ends tend to be wet so who knows?
Can't wait for spring and longer days .

 

[PaulSB]

Bedrooms, bathroom and stairs clean. Cassoulet (well our version) eaten.

Off to find Mrs P now who's been able to get a train to our local station. Result!

You in the right thread?

You in the right thread?

Yep, I am retired, receive my pension and have a bus pass. School is just my luxury money and can stop whenever I want.

 

[Drago]

So I do school now and again? So what? I can handle it. I can stop whenever want.
