The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

awful nights sleep but a beautiful morning to get up to. Came down in the middle of the night to find the dishwasher showing E24 error. Sod it! Switch off, let code clear, switch back on and back to lay in bed again. Came down at 6.00 and the same code is showing after a second cycle. E24 code indicates, blocked filters, drain pump etc. certainly a lot of water in there. So bail out dishwasher, clean everything I can find easily. I've just run a rinse only cycle which lasts 15 minutes, this has drained perfectly without an E24 error code and no water in machine. Next job is to run a full cycle but that will have to wait till after my ride.

I badly need a ride today to try and clear my head. I though worry was supposed to stop in retirement?

In retirement we tend to just find different things to worry about.

There's been very few insects round my Buddleia or my Lavender this year, in previous years when we've walked up the path insects have flown off the lavender in clouds, but not this year, this year the Budldleia was late and the lavender appears to have finished early.

We've had good numbers of bees on the lavender and a friend's buddleia had butterflies yesterday but not in any number. The early flowering buddleias around the village had no butterflies at all.

I'm hoping this is just a blip caused by the poor summer we've had this year.

I worry about not having anything to worry about

Yay!
It's 'Fish Friday'.

Do you really mean "its beer Friday" but you will have fish n chips to go with it?

My lavender plants are in full bloom. They smell lovely.

Been and done?

Yep. Fraction under 40 miles. Plenty for me. Porridge simmering now!

Morning all. Are there any other young at hearts doing the Prudential Ride London on Sunday? Off to the Excel this afternoon to collect the registration pack and stock up on freebies. Me and daughter are doing it. On Sunday we'll be wearing green T-shirts with Team Green written on the front, please stop and say hello if you see us, I'll be on my Brompton!

Are you doing the full 100 or the shorter one this year John? I didn't enter this year. I didn't enjoy it last year as there were far too many participants who didn't know how to ride a bike. This is however a timed event, and there were hundreds of Pru ride sponsored riders bimbling all over the roads, 5 and 6 abrest. They were so slow that many missed the cut off to go to Hampton Court and got turned short at Kingston.

E24 = "soiled Y fronts detected in the tablet dispenser"

Hi Paul, Its just the 46 again I'm afraid, after 6 years of trying for the 100 with no luck, maybe next year! I agree with you about the novices, but I just ignore them!
