The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

New air rifle stock arrived and duly fitted. Velcro spots fitted to the forestock so I can feel the correct hand position in the dark without being able to see.

Nearly lunchtime already. Crikey time flies and all that. Hot dogs for us today i think.

Which ride is this? A new one to me. 200km? That's a challenge in January.

It's this one @PaulSB - Yorkshire Grit

A new ride and maybe a one off. Think it's just been put on because it's a Paris - Brest - Paris year and completing this ride will allow people to register early for PBP (I think).

You like shooting blind?

Well, the su is shining in Llandudno a bit nippy but it’s warmer than Wigan was this morning

We've been to the posh part of Birmingham this afternoon, Solihull. Had lunch in Berkswell, The Lavender Hall Fishery, first visit there and not bad, just needed a four wheel drive to get down the track. It's cold here, about two degrees grey and damp.

2C, very murky and drizzling.

Planned day: bike ride (just 20 miles), walk with lovely wife (6 miles), watch Chelsea beat Arsenal, cook chorizo/chicken thing (tasty) and scoff with wine, crank up music, light candles, play Jenga then guess the tune courtesy of Spotify along with more wine, then finish off day by around 2.30am after succumbing to a few rum & black's.

Progress update: weather knackered bike ride (too cold, too murky and I don't want my bike on wet roads that have been coated in salt the last few days), weather knackered walk (too wet, poor visibility and the ground is like a quagmire)... instead ended up eating a pack of Tunnocks Teacakes (yummy) whilst Kindling and Surfing in front of our lovely open fire.

Prognosis for rest of the day: Chelsea winning? Who knows the way we play of late. Food, drink, games, music and raucous fun - nailed on certainty.

I've seen fights break out over that.

I love tea cakes, and tunnocks caramel bars. Very scrummy.

I have been miserable all day, right grump on, just fixed a dent for somebody now the big black cloud has lifted. How or why does fixing a dent fix a bout of depression.
