The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Well its a nice sunny day here and supposed to stay like this tomorrow.
TBH I dont think there can be any rain left up there .
I will get a 20 miler in today and I have a 30 miler planned tomorrow** with a mate. If my legs will allow it I plan a 40 on Tuesday.
We are going to a BBQ at our daughters later as its the eldest grandsons birthday.** I really must drink sensibly if I am to ride tomorrow

Just woke up in a pub car park.

Can you remember how you got there?

 

[Drago]

That should do the trick.
Wait till 0900 then have another 3. Then every hour on the hour.
I promise you will feel better. You can trust me as Im a Doctor (well thats what I told that girl when we were 8 yrs old)

A couple of swigs of scotch not only washed away the taste of Day Nurse, bit also seems to enhance its lergie fighting properties.

Good morning - Sunshine and clouds here. I'll be taking the ride over to see my brother that was didn't do yesterday because of the rain. Nothing planned other than that.

 

[Dirk]

Off for a long walk round to the village for a bit of shopping this morning.
Might drop in to the White Lion on the way back, just to see what ales they've got on this weekend.......purely for market research........in case anyone asks me........to be helpful to any enquiring Grockles I might bump into.......Honest.

Morning all, the dog has been walked, tea drunk and the washing machine is in full cry with the bedclothes. One of our cats came in and jumped on the bed, and unfortunately had a bit of a problem with it's rear end that we didn't notice earlier. The duvet cover and associated linen need a wash anyway, this just hastened the job. It is sunny with a nice breeze today.

Getting really blowy here now with the prospect of heavy showers. Shame as there is a music festival in the park starting soon, then the Highland Games tomorrow.

Waiting for the train to take us to Figueres to the Dali museum. The wife is into his work. I might go and have a few beers and watch the world go by. It's still blazing hot here no sign of rain at all.

Took my car to the garage today. The nice man agreed that something is wrong with my brakes so its been booked in for Tuesday at 10.30 to be looked at.

And if you need the brakes before then?

Too bad I suppose

They could lock on whilst you're doing the shopping. Might have to get a taxi home, or a lift on a motorbike.

I won't be using it to go far. I probably won't use it again until I drive into Mach to get it looked at.

Laphroaig, otherwise known as mouthwash .
It must be the Marmite of malt whiskies as many people enjoy its smokey/peaty flavour while people like me (that enjoy most whiskies) just cant stand it.

With you on this one Dave though I can drink it. There are so many other good malts to choose from, even ALDI and Lidl offer decent stuff considering the price charged.

It would be like the Flintsones where they all put their feet down
