The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

HELLOOOO. Am I allowed in at this time?? We were booked in a hotel with the family tonight but have dropped out. Mrs D is absolutely full of whatever she has got and has been upchucking this morning . Both still in our PJs feeling decidedly sorry for ourselves.
Ahh well, things can only get better.........can't they

Hope you and MRS D feel better soon

You in charge now, or just following orders when they're given?

Ooooh didn't think of that. OH the power I have. I can give myself orders and ignore them if I choose to.

 

[Dave7]

Hope you and MRS D feel better soon

Thank you. That, Mrs WD is very nice of you.

Cherry liqueurs
Various choccy bickies & dark chocolate
Box of mixed nuts in shells
Bottle of normal whisky
Bottle of Glenmorangie

Yorkshire Tea!!!

Yep....Yorkshire tea. No idea why its called that as it must be grown at the same place as Tetleys (our normal brew). I will try it tomorrow and report back

Hope you both wake up to feeling better in 2020.

I'm playing oldies but goldies in my house. Mainly on repeat:

"Don't Stand so Close to me"

Thank you Mr PaulSB..... I will do my best although I am reading that this lurgy hangs on for 6 weeks.
I just want to be bike fit asap.

 

[PaulSB]

I just want to be bike fit asap.

You will. Just don't push it too soon.

Am I allowed back to being grumpy? Just been reminded why I detest tourists. Third last off the ferry and soon caught up with first off traffic. Maximum speed on first 10 miles of double track 40 mph as a motorhome in front would not give way to the dozen or so cars behind. Range Rover behind me tried an impossible overtake but had to pull in just in front of me. We managed to get past the MH eventually and next 10 miles from Salen max. speed 28 mph with a Belgian car in front and the car next in line made no attempt to push. I was 10th so just had to stay there and there were 4 cars behind me. Some stupid attempts to overtake so I hung well back but they all failed and the B. car just bumbled on regardless. Grrr.

I've been looking at the car mileage for this year, 5122 miles, I only drove 110 miles more than I cycled.

I shouldn’t be eating between meals, but I’m having a bit of toast with my coffee. I’ve walked 24,000 steps today so I’m sure it’s deserved.

House tidy. Meal cooked. Table laid. Time for a brew.

Took Mrs P a cuppa. ,"Can I have a chocolate biscuit?" I went and got one for her. "These are much nicer than the ones you bought."

Interesting fact here. I purchased said biscuits in Lidl, they're called Extremely Chocolatey. Mrs P didn't like these so bought some in Tesco, also called Extremely Chocolatey!

The layout in the box, the foil wrap, the shape, the taste are identical except one lot is in a Tesco box!

What a grey day, it's been raining most of the day. Lunch consisted of more leftovers from last nights murder mystery event, which was quite good fun once we got the hang of it. Probably won't eat much until tomorrow now. The bikes were imploring me to ride one of them when I went to the shed earlier as they haven't been out on the road for a few days now, I must get out for a ride tomorrow morning. The weather is not looking good though.
