The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I use my exercise bike over winter. I enjoy up to 30 minutes before getting bored.
Mine is in the spare bedroom looking up the close so I can put some good music on and have a good nosey while keeping fit

Mine is stuck at the back of the garage gathering dust and will never be used again.

Morning all, cloudy but dry here. Taking oldies for med appointments in the morning then out for a canal ride later. Daughter and son in law visiting their oldies tonight (us) staying over and then taking their surf boards which they keep here down to Newquay tomorrow. They are strapping them to the top of my daughters Fiat 500, that'll be an interesting journey.

Should save on fuel as they take off and float over the hills.

Morning all .
I was knackered yesterday after clearing up all the rubbish from the old pond. Still, it all looks better now.
So early bed last night, good sleep and up early today.
Coffee consumed (ive been back on tea lately) and a BIIIIG decision to make. Its golf day!!!! Everywhere is as soggy as Dragos undies and more rain is forcast. So to play or not to play........watch this space.
Have a good day

I have a turbo trainer in the shed, gets used in the winter and I can manage about an hour before I get bored, when I was riding with the club some of the people I rode with used to do two and three hour turbo sessions.

Morning

 

[Drago]

No weights today. Still feel a bit strange from these tablets.

Broad beans are ready to pick so out with the big bucket and then all the work of preparing them for the freezer. Not long finished last years crop. Good job I like them to eat.

They're are not too bad if they are really ripe and sweet, but if you attempt them too soon they certainly are tart!

My least favourite fruit is raspberries.

I love all soft fruit, the secret is to get them when they are ripe. Even a day before can make all the difference to the taste.

Good morning all fellow students of the later life expertise. The weather does not know what to do at the moment. It is grey one moment, sunny the next. It is warm but muggy. Some bike fettling to be done later. I have a Mercian bike that I bought 6 years back from fleabay, but it is really just a little too small. It is a 21 inch frame, which normally would suit. So, I am going to strip it down and use a couple of parts on another bike I have, and then try to sell the frame and components separately. I have tried to sell the bike as complete, but without any takers.

I've got 23 fruits on my Chilli plant and a gazillion more to come by the looks of it, bought for £2.99 from ALDI.

My runner beans are a bit of a disaster this year. Lots of flowers but no beans. l have kept them watered well and fed.

 

[Drago]

Going to strip and clean one of my rifles.

Good morning - Sunshine and clouds here this morning. I'll be riding to the allotment soon. I'm in charge of it for a couple of weeks seeing as how the owner won't be there. Got to make sure no plants dies on my watch. No plans to do anything apart from that.
