The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

That sounds like a good excursion, hope it works out for you. I was hoping to do a 5 day tour in Belgium in May, but that's looking like a no no.

Here's a photo of the Bromptons at the lunch stop yesterday...

Lovely rainbow of colours and a mix of saddles plus a bit of titanium if my eyes don't deceive me. 😊

A bottle conditioned ale ( remember Worthington White Shield ?) contains live yeast. Drink 2/3 of the bottle and tip the rest into the flour

Little 16 miler done in a chilly, blustery wind. Had a headache which I thought the fresh air might clear but I think it's worse. Hopefully something to eat and a couple of painkillers will shift it.

Back from my ride. 22.5 miles done. Now for something to eat, a shower and then it is Molly's turn to run at the top of the mountain.

Lovely solo bimble up the trailway in the sunshine. A fair few people out walking and cycling and most of them were smiling
Heard a Woodpecker in the distance and saw a Brimstone butterfly.

I have been spring cleaning.

Just back from Aldi where I had a fight with some bl**dy woman over the last pack of bog roll.
In the end I gave up and let MrsD have it.
I will have to use the warrington Guardian

Morning all. Well, it appears that we are all here. Not heard from Classic as yet but thats the norm.
No rain forcast here although those clouds seem to have a different opinion.
Me and MrsD are going for a walk later...... that may take us past the pub . The meals are quite good but tbh they overface me. Several people have told me that they go for 'childrens portions' as eg fish n chips @£5.99 are plenty big enough.

I've just to wait for a tooth to pop out the rear!
A&E for three hours this morning.

I know nothing about your teeth and even less about your rear end but pray tell why you had to visit A&E.

Fit on Friday, one again yesterday left me blind on one side this morning. Face had swollen, shutting the eye.
Tooth lost yesterday showed up on x-ray in my stomach today.

I feel normal today so the damned Shingrix was not a 2 week thing. Yesterday was dry, sunny and about 13C, a great day for a ride, but today will be foggy and struggle to 6C. Still a great day for a ride since winds will be light. Apparently the Covid threat is perceived as scarier here...schools, rec centers and all sporting events are closed/cancelled. Lot of talk of online purchase of food and goods with curbside pickup or delivery and voluntary isolation. And yet many are proceeding as normal. I feel bad for those in service industries who often live hand to mouth in good times but whose employers may not be able to pay them without normal business. From the posts herein it sounds like you still feel free to shop or go to pubs and restaurants as long as you take reasonable precautions.

It's not the first time, just a real pain in the rear when it worked it way through.
Then there's the possibility of having to explain how a tooth got there, if I end up having to go back for further treatment. Teeth marks in that area, the rear, don't appear to be that common.
