The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Yes I'm torn between going and not. All the other pensioners have bailed leaving just the youngest.

Just do a lone ride. I'm just looking forward to getting some miles under the wheels tomorrow having not ridden for a week.

Its blinkin blumin flippin COLD this morning. Frost on the roofs and gardens.
I got up early and suggested Mrs D has a lie in while the house warms up.....she didnt need telling twice
We enjoyed our veggie meal last night though Mrs D not so much. We used a jar of chopped tomatoes that came as part of a hamper and there was way too much garlic in it.......and I am someone that likes garlic.
I have one errand to attend to then we will let the day decide what we do......I feel another fish lunch coming on.

It is my 39th Wedding Anniversary today. Flowers and card were secreted around the house yesterday.

These are now on the back room table. If I'm lucky Mrs P will buy a guilt ridden bar of Galaxy later today. 😂😂

Men have to get this stuff right. Women???? 🤔

Chilly walk done. Met a guy that does the trail on his mtb most mornings and thought he was going a bit quicker. Turns out he has bought a Scott full sus electric mtb. Has a range of 100 miles but it weighed a bleeding ton. Wouldn’t like to run out of battery at the foot of a climb.

it's a wee bit here this morning

 

[Drago]

Right, off out to the range to pretend I'm dirty harry for 2 hours. Adios compadre.

Just back from walking the dog, and the sun came out, so a very pleasant hour and a half walk. Just got to wait in for the parcel to be delivered this morning. Royal mail gave me a time frame of between 09.58 and 12.58, so we will see.

Always makes me chuckle when I see such a precise time. You would think they would just say between 10 and 1!

Morning all. Very frosty here today. Cars are covered with it but blue sky. I haven't been for a ride for 10 days now due to adverse weather conditions and won't be going today either for same reason. Oh well, at least walking the dog keeps me going. I bought my new Garmin Edge 820 last week and still waiting for a chance to try it out. Maybe tomorrow ? ............ or the day after?

Congratulations to you both!

From your previous posts I think Mrs P and my wife would get on like a house on fire!

Morning all, grey and cloudy outside at the moment, it's supposed to be sunny later. The first of the Christmas presents , a pair of Squash shoes that my son wants, is arriving this morning, I only ordered it yesterday morning, that's pretty good I think.
This evening I and a mate of mine are going to the Hammersmith Odeon, or whatever it's called these days to see Steve Hackett of Genesis. He is doing the Selling England by the pound album and the reviews are really good.

That sounds like a good concert Paul, Steve Hackett is a brilliant guitarist, enjoy!

Doggie walk on Saunton Sands done.
I counted 36 surfers in the sea and another dozen or so getting changed in the car park.
Mrs D likes to go there to spot the bare bums.
Off down to the Docs next and then on to the pub.
