The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Just as late at the same time tonight. It's all down to your perception of time.

It's all relative.......

It's all relative.......

You and Drago are relatives!!

 

[Dirk]

You and Drago are relatives!!

I'm his Dad.

 

[classic33]

I'm his Dad.

Thought he was created in lab somewhere?

My local team St Johnstone are very poor at the moment and meet Celtic for their first game. This won't end well!

That wasn't good not that I can say much after watching my lot yesterday. Charlton looked like a team who had played together for a season. Rovers looked like a side with four new signings - who are you? What position do you play?

Do you get to games Mo?

By the way I love your photo from earlier today.

To further evidence that I may be stalking you we often ride along the canal and exit at the bridge near where I think you live. With the big mill?

Takes us up through abbey village and tockholes eventually.

Lovely route with a few climbs.

Yes that's my village, you must pass within 50 metres of our house. Do you ride up the setted climb from the canal? That's miserable from an almost standing start.

That is a good ride you describe, I do the bit from our village to Tockholes that you mentioned occasionally but I'm more likely to be heading home from Belmont - I love that section from Belmont to Abbey Village, unbelievably fast. I have a circuit from home which is Wheelton >White Coppice >Anglezarke >Sheephouse >Belmont home. Other times I go through Chorley up to Rivington.

From the village to get to Tockholes I would turn left on main road, then first right on Bury Lane, at bottom of hill when the road bears sharp right go left up the short climb and then down to Abbey Village.

As for the stalking............

Good morning people and I do mean GOOD. Woke at 5.00am but had slept solidly from 10.30pm. I've had a brew, time to shut the window to keep out the pigeon cooing and try for another hour or so.

Later myself and a neighbour will be taking down a large holly tree. I do mean large! She's done a great job solo but when she fell out of the tree I felt it time to offer my assistance! I kid you not.

Good morning folks. Looks like today will be a nice day.

Not here
I got up early (0700) to get a 15 in before the rain but it looks like arriving early. Everywhere is wet so its been raining overnight.
Apart from that its a tv day. Golf is on. Cricket is on (if its not washed out). Liverpool vs City in the charity shield is on this afternoon.
So.....fresh crusty bread with cheese, ham and salad will be consumed.

Good morning folks, off for a pedal in a bit, depending on which forecast I read it'll either be a dry ride out and a wet ride home or it'll be a dry ride.

Same here. It would be a great day for a ride but many of the people I ride with on Sundays are in London. We have 15 club members at PRL. A great turnout.

So my extra hour dozing has worked. Just had coffee and toast on garden bench.

Up to the allotment now to burn the holly prunings from yesterday. I like a good bonfire.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

That makes a change. Usually we have the horrible rain while everywhere else is nice. We have had precious little rain here over the past 3 or 4 weeks. The stream is drying up as well.

Yesterday we had a few big splots of rain then it stopped.
