The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

Cars washed before the sun got too high, caravan motor mover fixed, new sim fitted to Pam's phone, diet started ( I will keep you all updated) All that whilst enjoying a nice chilled morning,

Where was that? it looks brilliant.

In Retford Notts some nice trails around the river Idle

 

[welsh dragon]

Just back from a 15 mile bimble to test my tyre. All is well. Started off a bit cool but the sun broke through and it was really hot. Quite a lot of low lying cloud and mist most as well.

I will be over to check it out in the near future, did a 40mile off road with the British heart foundation around Clipstone a few years back that was good.

And we tend not to bounce like we used to do .
Is there a Mrs Goldy to nag you for bringing filthy clothes home ?

I definitely didn't bounce
Mrs Goldy was at the gym when I got in and I do all the washing so I nagged myself

Just walked down to the village to pick up a newspaper.
It's mighty warm out there!
Clear blue skies and very pleasant.
Traffic is very busy in the village, with a constant stream heading towards the beach in one direction, and a long queue of Grockles going home in the other.
Got to cut the lawns later when it cools down a bit.

It's getting warm out there!
We're off in the caravan on Wednesday, so I need to get a few things ready.
Posh wedding at a big country house near Dursley next Saturday - I'll have to be on my best behaviour - mustn't upset the aristocracy! We're staying on for a few days afterwards with our pals who are in ther VW campervan. After that we are moving down to Cheddar for a week, then Seaton for a week.
Be nice to get away from the rat race.......

One of them doesn't like it if you upset her. You may find your waterbed has sprung a leak. If you're lucky!

Mrs Goldy just got home and nagged me for not cleaning the mud out of the shower properly

Someone has left a bike in the road, hope you removed it.

You've all given me ideas of jobs to do this afternoon. Wash the car, clean the windows and going for a tootle to toolstation ( that made me smile typing that) to get a couple of butane canisters for the weed burner. There's one about a mile away, but I shall stretch it to about 5 miles.

 

[Goldy]

Jeez that looks a bit rough! Tyres survive ok?

Yes they were fine but it was interesting some of those stones were quite big kicking the bike around a lot

Convert the weedburner to a Campingaz 907, cut down on the downtime.

You wish . He is like a boomerang.

I've spent the morning giving my Lavender hedge its annual trim, its normally a job I do in September, but it finished flowering early this year so it needed doing, its suprising how much insect life is living in there. its now awfully hot.

Mrs D's bush needs trimming again. I'll do it later, after I've cut the lawns.
