The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

56 miles in the autumn sun this morning, a bright chilly morning with a bit of a breeze. Having had a bit of an early start I had a bit of a meander on the way out,, over to Hockley Heath and Earlswood before turning through Lowsonford and on to Hatton Locks for my coffee stop, one of my usual routes back, through Lowsonford, past Packwood House and Baddesley Clinton, on to Balsall Common and into Coventry to pick up the car from the garage. Picked up the car, service and MOT pretty straight forward, they adjusted the hand brake, and gave me an advisory on the rear tyres on the MOT, so not too bad.

Just back from a 16 miles birthday celebration ride.

Well done, a lovely way to celebrate your birthday.

Good afternoon peeps, a nice little 20 mile bimble, stopping at the shops on the way back for few essentials at the shops. A few pints were imbibed at the Mitre with a couple of fellow retirees, and now a mug of tea and a sandwich.

You're not in hospital?

Nope, just have a cold.

 

[Drago]

Some thermal Y fronts will cure that.

I spent the day playing with dents and I really enjoyed it, now it seems I found the cure for the common cold it is vodka and coke along with Lidl peanut brittle.

Forget the Y-front cure, ice cream will get rid of the cold.

How'd you fit the car on the bike?

Yep, tried that, maybe did not eat enough of it.

Morning all. Sixty nine years ago at 6.30 am, I came into this world. Personally, I don't remember it but here I am, in a different country now but happy.

That'll be 604452 hours ago!!

I'll assume you only had the one drink then. Going, but not yet gone.
